We had a great time on this tour. The breweries that we went to were all really good and our tour guide was awesome!

The owner was also our tour guide. He is knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The barrel bus was cool and the beer was excellent It was just me and my husband but the atmosphere lent itself to meet new people or just keep to yourselves. Great experience and well priced! We will definitely go again.

Unique. Fun. Would do it again! We had some friends visiting from out of town and were looking for something out of the ordinary. With all the tours available, we settled on the Barrel Bus since it looked so different. While not all of us in our group were beer drinkers, those who weren’t still found drinks that surprised them and were able to participate. Ted, our guide, did a fantastic job keeping us all on a schedule, although we never felt rushed. He was a wealth of knowledge about the 3 breweries we visited as well as Chicago’s beverage history. Each brewery was different from the last and offered different styles of beers. We are not normally IPA drinkers, but most of those we tried we actually enjoyed! Food served at all of them but we settled on getting a huge pretzel (get the large cheese with it) at the 2nd location. We would absolutely do this again without reservation. Clean bus, spacious and comfortable, super fun!

Great trip met some amazing people. Visited three breweries which were excellent. Highly recommend this trip on the barrel bus.

A great way to spend a few hours in the city. I got to visit three breweries that were more than a comfortable walking distance away from downtown.

A very unique way to visit three different and interesting breweries in DT Chicago. Ted and Denise, our hosts, were absolutely wonderful! Each visit was unique with one including a short tour through the brewery. Favorite visit was Guinness! A very good value I would add too.

Our driver and guide David did a great job sharing interesting stories about the history of brewing in Chicago from the prohibition era to current times. We visited three different breweries from a small micro brewery up to a mid sized and a larger brewery. It was a great time that I will recommend to friends and colleagues. One of our highlights of our trip to Chicago.
