We were a bachelor party made up of casual beer drinkers and beer enthusiasts alike. We were looking for a way to spend sometime on Saturday and the Barrel Run bus you’re was excellent. Coordination was great, sending us to a tour/tastings at Lake Effect Brewing, a pint at Revolution, and a tasting at Great Central. It was well worth it; a great experience that was perfect for our group.

Fun get together for our whole adult family. We started at Lake Effect which is a small brewery that seems to be pretty young. The owner was with us the whole time telling us his story and answering questions. There are no tables at this stop. Our second stop was Old Irving where we were able to order food and it was delish. This place had indoor bags and was a nice place to hang. Our last stop was Revolution which was the biggest of the three. We ended up not taking the bus back and hung out for a couple more hours. We will be back on the barrel run to check out the other breweries and distilleries. Our tour guide was great and the driver was very nice as well.

This tour is a must do for couples, friends, or even team meetings. We visited 3 breweries, learned some history, and drank several styles of beer. This was fun and exciting!
