My husband and a friend and I took the inaugural tour here in our fair city! Firstly, Barry was the consummate tour guide. He's extremely knowledgeable about all facets of the beer industry as well as the history. I only wish he could be cloned! We went to 4 breweries, which happen to be ones I already like except for the last one which I actually wasn't a huge fan of but to be honest, the owner won me over and it will now be added to the breweries I frequent! Barry, who isn't from Pittsburgh, handled driving in an unfamiliar city and chatting with us on the van with utmost professionalism! We only had 5 on our tour which made it intimate. I hope it would be similar if the van was full! We had an excellent dinner at Penn Brewery but to be honest, I would love dinner to be at Spoonwood or Hopfarm, but those are on the company's list, so it was a crap shoot, plus I was on the test tour for Pittsburgh. The timing was slightly off at one of the breweries, but I'm sure that will be worked out in the next few tours. Lastly, when they say you get plenty of beer on this tour, they ain't kidding!! Oh my! I could have gotten plenty of Untapped badges that night had I had the time to enter them.
