Mark was a phenomenal guide, so knowledgable about brewing, beer, Asheville - everything. Gave great behind the seasons info on how things work, and a wonderful amount of background on the history of beer. Great time AND great beer to taste too!

Mike was a fun tour guide. We liked some of his beer choices. We felt like he took us to less popular breweries. The tour should have included some snacks along the way because we walked a lot. It would have been nice to see some of the bigger breweries in action. We did meet some nice people from Kentucky which made our tour fun.
This was great! Our tour guide was awesome and had a ton of knowledge.
Very knowledgeable which was one of the best parts. I learned so much and had an incredible time. Would do it again and highly recommend
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!
Learned a lot! Mark was very knowledgeable. Beers were varied and leant themselves to a fuller understanding of beer making.
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.
Party Grandpa was a great tour guide. Everything was on time, great mix of beer selection, education, and stories, and good company.
Fun, learned a lot about beer that we didn’t know! Mark our guide was kind, helpful and informative.
