What To Expect

Hellbender Brewing Company

These breweries are sample itineraries only. All schedules are subject to change. This handsomely-helmed DC brewery got its name from the Eastern Hellbender Salamander, which is the largest salamander in North America, and the third largest in the world! So, it’s safe to say that their beers boast BIG flavors. But they don’t just brew killer ales, they do it in an environmentally sound, super-efficient way using their hammer mill and mash filter to protect the earth from harsh effects and you from bad beer. Unlike any brewery on the east coast, Hellbender Brewing is able to use less grain and less water for all of its brews but brings you more flavor than you can even imagine. Let us take you on a behind the scenes tour of this brewery’s unique process and walk you through the science of why less really is more, and what makes Hellbender a must visit on any Washington, DC trip.

Right Proper Brewing Company

Right Proper Brewing Company started as a vision that centered around DC as a hometown, with each neighborhood defined by a different culture. A vision of heading to your local pub to grab a fresh glass of beer that was brewed on premise. A vision that would be defined by the yeasts used to ferment the beer, as opposed to the hops used to bitter it. This vision belonged to Thor Cheston, a DC Native who ditched medical school at Georgetown University to follow a passion for beer. After meeting John Snedden, owner of Rocklands BBQ, the two of them realized they had aligned visions, and opened their Brewpub: Right Proper. Right Proper Production Brewery followed, and allowed them to share their beers with DC restaurants, and still be a part of the community!

3 Stars Brewing Company

Dave Coleman and Mike Garvey created the 3 Stars concept in Mike’s basement, known as “the lab”, back in 2009. What started as a homebrewing hobby evolved into a business, and they were able to open their doors at 6400 Chillum Pl in 2012. Doubling their production every year since they have been opened, 3 Stars Brewing has kept to their roots of “The Lab,” brewing experimental batches, and pushing the envelope on innovating new drinking experiences, like their popular Peppercorn Saison or Southern Belle Imperial brown ale with toasted pecans.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Charles was our driver/guide and was incredibly educated about beer and its history and was just delightful. The beer was delicious (and lots of it) and the meal was very good. We would recommend it!

Just took the new NOVA brew tour on Sunday and had a blast. We sampled three or four beers at each of the four stops, got a DELICIOUS Nordic Knot pretzel along with our Lake Anne beer, and a tasty spread of gourmet salad, grilled cheese, and hot & tangy wings at Fireworks. Oh, and pizza, of course! At Dynasty, the brewer gave us a tank sample of a beer that will come out next week, so that was super cool. Rocket Frog was also excellent. Love their Helleanor and Wallop's Island. This was my third tour with this company and they never disappoint. Our guide Steve rocked. Fun and knowledgeable.

The tour was fun but only because the other patrons that went our guide Steve had a bit of an attitude, sadly when we got into the van we were told in condescendingly for several minutes that if we misbehaved allll the things he could and would do. I've been on several tours and never seen such disdain. We are adults and we know to behave ourselves, in the event we don't we know there's consequences. Leave it at that. It was downhill from there. I just felt like he hated his job and really would rather be somewhere else. I suggest he find another job rather than be like that. We spent good money, we want someone that will be nice and pleasant. Oh and he didn't even talk about the specific beers that he ordered us just general facts. Bummer.

Thank you for your review and feedback! I’m happy to hear that you still enjoyed the tour despite your concerns, though I’m very sorry to hear that Steve’s attitude came off that way. We do ask that our guides to stress the importance of our safety rules since your safety comes first and is the top priority on our tours, however, I would love the opportunity to make this right. When you get the chance, please give us a call at (202)759-8687. Cheers, Chad
