We had a great time on the brewery tour - thought it would be a fun way to visit with friends and try some different beers. Totally met and exceeded expectations, the Barrel bus was a really fun way to get around and our tour guide was great.

Amazing tour! The bus was a very cool and unique experience, our tour guide told great stories and was very entertaining, and we loved the three stops we made. We took 7 friends on the tour with us who are almost all Chicago-natives and this was something we had never experienced before. 100% worth it!
