It was ok nothing special. Tbh the first brewery was kinda a joke. The guy didn’t really have a lot worth hearing and we got maybe half a beer. The second stop was decent but you only got one sample. And the third spot was good but we could of just drove there and hung out

We had a very fun time! Ben, our tour guide was super personable and friendly. Tour at Lake Effect Brewery was so informative. I would recommend this company, the bus was amazing. The owner and designer David has a great concept. Good luck to you guys in your future!!

We had a blast on this tour! Jacob was amazing! We learned so much about Prohibition and the history of Chicago! All 3 breweries were great! Lake Effect was my favorite! The owner took the time to go through the brewing process with us! Wish we would've had time for that at Revolution. All the beer was really good! Definitely worth the time and money!
