Where City Brew Tours began<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

City Brew Tours was founded in Burlington, Vermont in 2008 by Chad Brodsky, a college kid who had fallen in love with craft beer while studying in Vienna. Thirsting for more, he returned home and enrolled in the University of Vermont\u2019s \u201cBeer Making 101\u201d class. Fortunately, Chad quickly realized he wasn\u2019t cut out to brew beer. Instead he bought a used church van, put on his lederhosen, and set off to spread the gospel of craft beer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Chad\u2019s timing was perfect. MSNBC had recently pronounced Burlington the fourth best beer city in the world, and Americans were starting to get a taste for craft beer. Vermont Pub and Brewery founder, Greg Noonan, was the first to open his doors to the new business, and Burlington Brew Tours was born. At the tender age of 21, Chad became the first to establish a brewery tour company on the East Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Burlington Brew Tours became well known for its unique tours led by beer geeks who doubled as designated drivers. By 2012 Chad had perfected his business model. He left his full-time job in finance and opened a second location in Boston. With tours running in two cities, Chad changed the company\u2019s name to \u201cCity Brew Tours\u201d and set off to add more locations. <\/span><\/p>\n

As of 2025, City Brew Tours operates in 25 cities across North America, making it the leading curator of craft beer experiences for visitors, locals, and the community as both an ambassador and an advocate for the brewing industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
