We needed a last minute activity for a quick run up to Chicago. My son found this when searching for a brewery tour. The more we thought about it the more excited we got. Upon arrival, we got into A WHISKEY BARREL!!!! Ted was out tour guide. He was so nice and funny and told great stories to make the travel fun. We are so absolutely happy we did this. Ted said they mix up the breweries from time to time. We loved our selections. Perfect amount of time spent.

Ted picked 3 great breweries for us to visit and had nice tidbits of information about each as well as facts about Chicago’s history with alcohol. Would recommend doing this experience to anyone that likes craft beer.

The Barrel Run is cozy and lively spot with a great neighborhood vibe. Barrel drive was fun and the craft beer selection is impressive, and the food pairs perfectly with the drink. Great place to fun and must visit for specially for beer lovers.
