About
The only brewery tour in town where we don’t just bring the party, we are the party! So put on your party pants and join this unforgettable concert on wheels. In a city known as the “Live Music Capital of the World”, it only makes sense to bring along some of the local talent. A local band will ride along onboard, providing the jams for a good time as we visit three local breweries.
At each of the three breweries, we serve up samples of the local craft brews, included in your tour ticket. Your smart/beautiful/handsome/funny/witty tour guide will also give a little information about the local craft beer scene and the brews on tap. You are welcome to purchase additional beverages at each stop.
Your Brew Bus ticket also includes a small meal provided by one of the brewery's onsite food trucks.
