Literally one of the funnest things we’ve ever done in Chicago! Highly recommend! All the breweries were amazing and the group got along great. Ted was our guide/driver and was fantastic!

We’re local to Chicago and this was an amazing way to visit breweries and meet people from al over the world who were visiting Chicago. Our guide Ted was exceptional and made the trip fun with local stories of the history of Chicago’s temperance and prohibition era. Highly recommend this for locals and travelers. This would make a great corporate team bonding event too.

This should be a must do when visiting Chicago it was so much fun driving around in a wine barrel and we met 2 of our now good friends while on this tour so even better

This was a fantastic tour in a very cool ride! Our guide, Ted, was awesome and very knowledgable and brought us to three excellent breweries. We've done a lot of brewery tours and this one is definitely at the top of the list, well worth your time and more than worth the cost. Cheers!
