Frequently Asked Questions

Could my tour be cancelled?
Not likely, but it is possible. In the event of severe weather or a lack of tour-goers, the tour may be canceled.

In the event of inclement weather, the decision to cancel will be made by Brew Tours Staff at least 12 hours before the start of the tour. If roads are fair and our brewery partners are open, we make every effort to run our tours as scheduled. If we have to cancel a tour due to weather, full refunds will be provided. Should you wish to reschedule due to the inability to travel during the inclement weather, please give us a call at 980-399-HOPS to discuss your options; a fee may apply if your tour was still scheduled to operate.

Where do your tours pick up?

Your tour pickup is in the driveway of The Westin Charlotte located at 601 S College St, Charlotte, NC 28202.

Why do I have to wear closed-toed shoes?

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.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes, we can accommodate most dietary restrictions. Please inform us regarding the nature of your restrictions when booking your tour!

Am I able to choose all of the beers on my tour?

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.

Do you offer gluten-free options?

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. Guests with Celiac should consider our non-drinker ticket, so they can purchase cider or gluten-free beer when available.

What is your tour minimum?

In order for us to run a tour, we need a minimum of 4 participants.

What Hotels are nearby?

We highly recommend the Westin Charlotte in Uptown which serves as the pickup location for all of our public tours.  For more information about lodging click here.

What is the difference between the public and private tour?

We offer 3 different public tours which you can read more about here. Because private tours are personalized, there is a sliding scale of differences between them vs. public tours. Generally, we suggest private tours for corporate events, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and other groups of over 10 guests. You can read more about our private tours here.

Where should I park?

We do not recommend driving to our tours. Whenever possible, please use a car service or public transportation to get to your pick up spot. More specific information will be coming soon!

Do I need to print out my confirmation email/how do I print my ticket?

You can simply show up to the pick-up spot a few minutes early, with a valid form of ID and closed-toe shoes. You do not need a physical ticket or to print out your confirmation email, just give your name to the guide!

Many of our stops are handicap accessible. However, our seated passenger vans can only accommodate folding wheelchairs on private tours.

Can someone under 21 attend?

You must be 21 or older and show proper identification in order to participate in our tour, even if you’ve purchased a non-drinker ticket.
