    Fun beer tasting. Great variety and cool location. Our guide was quirky and fun. She knew more about the breweries than how beer was made. Worth it.

    We were very excited to take this tour. The website promises small groups and the videos they show certainly support this. Nowhere do they show you the reality. We decided to treat ourselves to their very expensive, high end, whisky tasting and what a waste of money that was! We were crammed into a tiny room with 12 people doing three different tasting experience levels. The host pretty much read from a script (that she thought was funny...but wasn't), and provided the same information I could have received from a quick google search. Because there were three groups crammed into this one space, the presentation was generic enough for everyone and didn't talk about the high end products we paid to learn about. Even though we tasted the high end whiskies, we got very little information about them and it was a very expensive waste of time. I did contact the company before writing this review, giving them the opportunity to make it right and got a very generic, too bad for you, response. have hundreds of reviews and rarely slam a business, but this one doesn't deserve your time or money.
