About This Adventure

Savor mouthwatering BBQ samplings from hidden gems while enjoying bourbon-inspired cocktails or craft brews. With minimal walking and a guided adventure, this tour promises a deliciously memorable culinary journey through the city.
For many, the thought of Milwaukee food comes paired with brats, beer and cheese curds. With grilling season coming to a close it is time to dive into something a little more smokey. There is much more to consider when appreciating Milwaukee’s thriving food scene and on this bus tour we do just that. Dive into the world of BBQ, bourbon, and beer with us. You’ll enjoy a sweet and tangy spread of finger-licking BBQ, and sip on bourbon-inspired cocktails (or craft beer, if you choose) in some of Milwaukee’s most hidden gem BBQ joints.
