Fantastic way to explore your city and spend an afternoon/evening
"I would highly recommend this to anyone. Barry and Eric were excellent tour guides and did a great job of not only teaching us about the history of beer, but also made a point to learn about each person's favorite type of beer so it was including in the samplings. All the places we visited were great. I definitely plan on doing this again."

Most Enjoyable Evening
"The City Brew tour that we took was a most enjoyable evening. We visited four breweries and drank a lot of great craft beer. The dinner at Penn Brewing was delicious. Barry, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and made traveling between breweries pleasurable and fun. Pittsburgh is fortunate that City Brew Tours is here. Book your tour today!"

Dan prefers hoppy and hazy beers and loves to pair them with his homemade Texas-style chili. Dan’s other side hustle is slinging beer for Abjuration Brewing Co. on Tuesday nights.
Jessica – Beer Guide
Good food and good company is even better with great beer; realizing that Jessica has loved learning about Beer throughout her whole life. Her uncle is a hop farmer and her childhood home was covered in a collection of vintage ‘O my Goodness O my Guinness’ posters. After studying abroad, attending Oktoberfest and breweries throughout Europe she decided it is time to dive head first into the Pittsburgh craft brew scene. Currently, Jessica is finishing up her degree in Marketing and Studio Arts. While out of class she enjoys brewing a good cup of coffee in the morning to study or paint then going to any of Pittsburgh local breweries on the weekend with Friends. Jessica is a travel nerd who loves learning more about how culture and climate shape culture and taste. Favorite Beers: Ottakringer Lager, Magic Hat Number 9, and Lagunitas Daytime Ale.
