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.

Port City Brewing Company

Tucked at the western most tip of Washington, DC, Port City Brewing Company is Northern Virginia’s most notable brewery. We know what you’re thinking… Virginia?! I thought this was a DC Brew Tour. And you’re right, but you may not know that Alexandria, VA is only a stone’s (bottlecap’s?) throw away from DC, and they’re churning out some of the most incredible craft brews that we just had to feature them on the tour. And to show us some love for including them, they’ve generously offered our tour-goers special samples and beers that are exclusive to the brewery and pack such a malty pinch, you may even forget you’re on planet earth. In fact, their beer is so good it earned them Best Small Brewery in America in 2016.

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.

Cancellation Policy

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

Seamus was a great tour guide, a fantastic cicerone and became a friend by the end (but he said DC stood for Dallas Cowboy). You’re in for a great tour if you get Seamus!

Thanks for the wonderful review, Michael! I'm so glad to hear that you had an amazing time with Seamus (even if he's a Cowboys fan!), and consider him a new friend. I hope you'll join us for another brewery tour in any one of our 16 awesome cities. Cheers!

Well worth it. The guide Sam was great which made it very good. His knowledge of the subject and demeanor could not have been better.

Decided to opt for the shorter “Sip” tour. Our guide, Isaac, was informative and full of beer knowledge. A little disappointed that a brewery tour of DC only included one official DC brewery (Red Bear). Port City was in Va.... not a big deal, just surprised we couldn’t have stayed more in the city and experienced DC breweries. Suggestion: Skip the 2nd stop because that was just a bar where we sampled other brewery’s beers near a smelly dumpster. Could have been because it was Sunday evening....not sure? Overall a fun night!

Hi, Janeen! Thank you for your review, and your feedback is really appreciated! I'm happy to hear that you had a good time on our tour overall, though I am sorry that you didn't enjoy your second stop. We do go to stops in and near DC on the tour, and while the great majority of our stops are in DC, we do have a couple located in Arlington and Alexandria -- it was just a coincidence that you were on a tour with both of them. Either way, I'm glad you had fun and I hope we see you again sometime in one of our other cities, or back in DC if you want to tour again with different stops! Cheers🍻
