Good ride, great beers! - Jonas made the beer-n-bikes tour a real joy! My girlfriend and I didn't really know the beer history of Philly and Jonas did a great job explaining all of this to us. Jonas was easy to talk to and really made the ride through the city quite enjoyable.

Gluten Free Bike Nerd, had fun even without drinking beer!! - Brewerytown history is so interesting and this tour was a perfect way to see and learn. It was a full immersion into the history of Brewerytown and also beer knowledge. If you are someone who like biking, drinking and history, this is it. So much cool architecture and really cool local breweries.

Perfect Friday in Philly - A wonderful experience for anyone who loves beers and biking, whether you’re visiting or a Philadelphia local. Our guide was super informed, and we learned all sorts of things we didn’t know about the city—even having lived here for 15 years. Along the way we made stops at a classic brewery, a hidden gem and a brand new taproom we hadn’t made it to yet. Great way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend!

Best way to explore and taste a historic neighborhood! - This is a must-do for any Philly native or tourist who is interested in history and beer. Jonas is a terrific guide, storyteller, and cycling guru. The bikes are comfortable and easy to ride and the topography lends itself nicely to the historic and modern stops along the way. Appropriate for just about all cycling ability levels. Took a group of four and we absolutely loved it. We were also accompanied by Samantha, who added a lot of great context and ensured no water bottles were accidentally left behind. Will probably be bringing more groups back in the future!

Great tour through Philly history...and beer. - We had a great tour of Brewerytown and related areas of Philly. Our guide was knowledgeable and the day had a great pace to it. We really learned a lot about the area...and the beer. We stopped at a few breweries and got to try different local beers, which was great. This tour offers a history lesson you won't find at the liberty bell, and it will expand your understanding of Philly.
