Chad Brodsky – President/Founder
Chad has been building brewery tour businesses since he was legally allowed to enjoy a pint. What began as a college side hustle—Burlington Brew Tours—has grown into City Brew Tours, a nationally recognized brand with tours in over a dozen cities (and more on the way).
Before diving into entrepreneurship full-time, Chad interned in investment banking at a hedge fund and later worked as a Lead Financial Analyst. But despite his early career in finance, he quickly realized his passion wasn’t in spreadsheets—it was in building something from the ground up.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Chad’s ventures began in childhood, from shoveling driveways to selling classmates on business card schemes. Today, he leads City Brew Tours with a balance of vision, hustle, and heart—bringing people together through great beer and unforgettable experiences. He’s also a Certified Cicerone® and a big fan of a well-balanced Vienna lager.
Favorite Beers: Duchess de Bourgogne, Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Lost Nation Brewing – Gose, and any delicious Lactose IPA.
Todd Summers – Chief Innovation Officer Todd manages franchise sales and private tour sales. Before becoming a Sales Manager at City Brew Tours, Todd was a Sales Coordinator who has single-handedly planned and organized 1000s of private brewery tours for groups from 3-300 guests. Todd’s favorite joke about his current job is that after getting his Master’s in clinical psychology he found a different cure for what ales you. A native Chicagoan, Todd calls Vermont home where he can be found skiing, golfing, and waiting in line to buy beer with his wife and dogs Olive and Earl.
Favorite Beers: Fiddlehead – IPA, Foley Brothers – Pieces of Eight, Foam Brewers – Retrovertigo
Matt LaRosa – Sales & Development Specialist Matt acts as a consultant and account manager for all of our franchises. He provides valuable insight on best practices and as your go-to for any business-related questions. He joined the CBT team in 2020 after working as an Account Representative for a beer distributor in Massachusetts where he developed a passion for building relationships around a shared love of beer! In his spare time, you’ll find him tearing up the ski slopes, paddling on the closest body of water, or on the hunt for new beers and breweries wherever he travels.
Favorite Beers: Foam – Experimental Jet Set, Allagash – White, Founders – Breakfast Stout
