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.

What a great way to spend the day sampling some of what DC has to offer in the craft beer market. Highly recommend City Brew Tours not only to get you around the city, but also to pick some of the best destinations to sample beer. Our tour guide Clayton was awesome as he has an extensive knowledge of beer and the DC area.

Highly Recommend!

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. Braxton 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.

Changes and cancellations are free up to 72 hours before the tour. Ticket insurance allows you to make changes or cancel up to 3 hours before the tour, and we will reschedule or reimburse you for your full tour ticket price (minus the booking fee and insurance fee). Insurance can only be purchased when making your initial reservation, and cannot be added after the fact.

Could my tour be cancelled?

Not likely, but it is possible. In the event of severe weather or the tour does not meet the minimum number of guests required to operate it within 72 hours, the tour may be canceled.

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.

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.
