It wasn’t quite what we expected. We thought we would see bigger breweries instead of micro breweries. We were offered way too much beer. Of course, we didn’t have to drink it and we didn’t but it seemed like a lot of waste.

Had an awesome time! Out tour guide Laura was really fun, accommodating, and a great conversationalist! My husband and I are locals and he even learned new things on this tour! We had a blast and enjoyed the environment! Would definitely do this again!!
The tour lasted 6 hours. It should have been no more than 4 hrs. Instead of 4 stops with 2-3 beers, more but shorter stops. With 1 or at most 2 beers per stop would be better.
I’m not a beer drinker and I still had fun. It was interesting to learn how the process is done. A few beers I would actually drink. Sucks we were unable to go one of the breweries since there were so many activities going on.
My husband and I have enjoyed craft beer since the beginning and have established a pallet for certain styles. We did this tour to learn about new locations in Milwaukee. We had four stops: Lakefront, Dead Bird, Hacienda and Gathering Place. Our tour guide, Ken, was friendly, knowledgeable on the brewing process and happy to answer any questions. He did a great job. The down side for us was most of the beers offered were okay, but nothing over the top. What we found odd was at each establishment Ken was giving the behind the scenes tour. In any tour we have taken, the owner, brewer or staff member has conducted the tour. The other odd thing was no one from the breweries acknowledged us or thanked us for coming. It was a group of 12. Lunch at Hacienda was okay, but nothing great. Would we go back to any? Lakefront yes because we do like and buy many of their beers. We’ve been there before. A no for the others. The van Ken has for transportation may be able to accommodate up to 14 passengers, but it’s going to be like sardines. Even 12 was tight and not comfortable.
Had a great time. So much beer and a nice small lunch. It was great to get the history of the stops and also if Milwaukee brewing.
Do not book! We booked and they cancelled on us. We booked on their website and made our plans around this tour and they canceled just days before.
Great time with our guide Ken. Got to learn about Milwaukee beer history, taste some great beer and the food was really good as well. Highly recommend taking this tour.
Had a great time with awesome beer and food! Ken was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We would recommend the tour.
Our tour guide, Ken, was wonderful and we made so many friends along the tour from all over the country. It was one of the best experiences in Milwaukee we had. Thank you so much for providing us with a safe, relaxed, informative, and incredibly enjoyable time. I will highly recommend your tour for anyone I know.
