Great experience, lots of beer!! - We had so much fun on this Brewery Tour! We visited three different breweries, and got a tour of the interworkings of one of them. There was no shortage of beer to enjoy! Our group was great, and the guide (Ted) was very knowledgeable. He made a point to speak one on one with everyone at some point during the tour. Great experience, would book again!

Barrel of Fun - Barrel bus is well maintained, safe, awesome design/engineering, comfortable, and such a fun concept. If considering beer tasting, why not do it right and ride in a beer barrel!!! I’m not a big fan of craft beer, but I couldn’t resist touring in the barrel and trying Chicago craft brews because you cannot easily find them on the West coast (if at all). I was surprised that I actually liked the Revolution brewery Freedom Strawberry Lemonade. Gulped that thing down no problem. This was by far my favorite stop and truly enjoyed walking through the processing area. * * The artwork on the some of the Revolution beer cans is outstanding. * * Driver Ted advised there is also a chocolate tasting and wine tour. When I’m next in Chicago, I’m signing up for that tour!
