Lot of fun. Had friends in town for the weekend so we went on the Tour. We went to four locations. Each had a different vibe and different beers. Vinnie the Tour Guide was great. He was very knowledgeable and explained the tasting, brewing process but left plenty of time for everyone to catch up and talk among ourselves as well. Highly recommend.

Being with my daughters. We felt mislead by the advertising. Where were the actual beer flights. The only place we got a flight was at the restaurant. Otherwise the tour guide gave us a small glass and poured a wee bit at each stop.

The information on this tour on TripAdvisor was very misleading. It said you received four beer flights and a multi course BBQ platter, tour and learn about the brewing process. It also should say you have no choice in what you want to drink in beer. He asked what kind of beers we like, I said I only like light beers, I do not like IPA's and I said that at the beginning of the tour. You should be able to pick out your own flights per your taste. That was not the case. If I wanted to taste the beer, I had to drink that was put in front of me. Needless to say, I drank water most of the night. Our, if you will, "beer expert" brought us out splashes of beer, not even flights. He went up one at time to get them. At two of the places we only received three samples and I say samples because these were no where near flights. We spent way too much time at the first place then rushed through the second. The only reason we got to go into the brewing room is because someone else in our group asked about the tour. The tour was done by the driver, not even the brew master. Our driver admitted before the tour he wasn't a beer expert!!!! Should have known then we were in for a very long night. He then called in the food order, which at a BBQ place you would think you could get BBQ, was only offered chicken or a salad with chicken. The food was so cold when we were served. An actual flight was given to us at the BBQ place, which was probably the most full of flights of the night, but still wasn't full. The waitress came back to our area and said since we were there to learn, she told us that the pumpkin beer we were drinking and how it was made with real pumpkin mash. At least we learned something that night. By the time we got to the last brewery, they closed at 10pm. We got there a little before 10pm. They were still open because they had an event that day, but they were putting chairs up. This was probably the most beer we had to drink the entire night, five and a half hours later. We should have bailed an hour into it. I feel so ripped off and want my money back!!!! I don't believe any of the reviews on this site. There is no way this was fluke on the trip I took. People need to be honest in reviews. Needless to say, I will never do another tour again. I wish I would have snapped some pictures. Don't believe the pictures on the brewery tour ad, it is false advertising.
