A few weeks ago, my wife and some friends had the chance to enjoy the city brew tour with our guide Braxton. We had a great time trying out breweries new to us. Todd was a terrific host and informative guide. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a night out on the town or visiting from out of town.

You have the option of picking between two spots when booking: 870 Williston Rd at the DoubleTree or 144 Cherry St right off of Churst St. The Cherry Street pick up is on the corner of Cherry and Church street (by the Ben & Jerry’s). The DoubleTree picks up in front of the main entrance 15 minutes before the tour start time.
The van will depart right at the time listed, so we recommend arriving 10 minutes early (or 25 minutes before start time at the Double Tree) to allow for time to check-in!
All guests must wear closed-toe shoes to participate in the tour. This is a safety precaution that the breweries themselves are required to enforce, therefore, no exceptions can be made. If you are taking a tour during the summer months, please plan accordingly.

A note on gluten: Typically, beer is not gluten-free. Some of our tour stops do from time to time offer gluten-free options, however, we cannot guarantee their availability. Gluten-free guests should consider our non-drinker ticket, so they can purchase cider or gluten-free beer when available.
No need to stress about picking your beers. At each stop, you’ll enjoy a curated tasting hand-selected by our beer expert guides to highlight the brewery’s best. You’ll also have a little time to hang out, explore the vibe, and purchase a pint or try something else that catches your eye.
