For beer nerds!

You have to be REALLY into learning about beer and the process of making it. I went on the tour expecting it to be more social. But the guide, Mark was very knowledgeable and friendly!! It was fun!

Very informative

Mark was patient with differing tastes and easy to get along with for a group of four women. He walked us through in-depth the ingredients, the different beer types and the brewing process. Great tour!

Great time with our guide, Mark. He was very knowledgeable. We spent 3 hours at 3 breweries. We learned a lot. Got to try 10 different brews. Easy walk, even in the cold.

FANTASTIC

I’ve been on many beer and brewery tours in many cities (and countries). Mark was one of the very best tour guides. Knowable about beer in general, local breweries and Asheville. This wasn’t one of those general brew tours, Mark was well prepared, selected breweries and beers with care and even making a few changes in specific beers based on the group. The tour was FANTASTIC, HIGHLY recommended. Thanks Mark Cheers 🍺

I've been Brew-educated

This brewery tour was AWESOME! I booked it with some close friends and family, some of whom love beer very much and some of whom not as much. We all had a phenomenal time and agree it was the highlight from out visit to Asheville and the Smokey Mountains. Our brew guide Michael was an outstanding speaker and wealth of knowledge when it came to the brewing process and history of beer. His passion for small craft beer shone throughout the tour, and he was able to engage both beer novice and expert. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Asheville, and you'd be in good hands and company if led by Michael.
