If you're looking for a gift for a beer lover, look no further. City Brew Tours did all the planning and we just showed up. They chose 3 local breweries that each had a unique ambiance as well as a solid selection of brews from sours to IPAs to stouts. Our guide, Todd, was extremely knowledgeable about the brew scene in Burlington, VT.

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.

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!

No need to worry about choosing your beers at each stop. You’ll receive a handpicked selection of local craft beer curated by our beer expert guides.
