"Thanks for a great night. Isaac was absolutely FABULOUS - he was able to break the ice with a small group and teach us a ton about beer. As for the breweries, I loved the intimacy of Public Option. I am new to DC and look forward to exploring the beers available further."

Great time
"This was a really entertaining tour- Chad was super knowledgeable and the beer was great. Loved The Public Option stop! Folks on the tour were from varied locations (national/international) which made it even more fun- comparing notes on the beer scene in other places. Highly recommend!"

Perfect Day
"We hit four local breweries and had plenty of time at each one. I can honestly say each brewery provided PLENTY of samples - so it is definitely worth the price. Having lunch provided was great as well. Very well organized, a good mixture of structure and free time for whoever you went with! Our tour guide was so fun, very knowledgeable, and easy going and provided a ton of great recommendations. I'd love to do more!"
