For my birthday I rented the barrel run bus at had about 20 friends on. The process started with booking through Danielle who was very attentive and very clear with details. She also responded to me in a very timely manner. The day of the event David, the builder and the driver of the bus showed up about 30 mins early and was ready right at the start time of the event. David is a super cool dude and also very professional. There was plenty of space for all of the beer that we had brought for the bus ride and came equip with ice to keep our brews cold. The seats were very comfortable and David was super cool with all of our random T.Swift and 90's throwback music that we played. We made it through all of the stops I had planned and David went above and beyond to make this day special. We all had a best time and I would highly recommend to anyone to rend the Barrel Run for your special event.

What a unique tour! The barrel was a fun way to drive around Chicago and the breweries we stopped at our something you would not find on your own. They stop at different breweries each trip. I highly recommend this trip!
