Great beer, fun beer knowledge, awesome people. Seth is one of the best tour guides. The Saison at Spuyten Duyvel was a favorite. Also really liked Singlecut. I'm not normally a fan of IPA's, but theirs was really good!

Visited McSorley's, Brooklyn Brewery (where we had great BBQ delivered) and ended at Fifth Hammer. It was a very diverse group ranging from non-beer drinkers to craft beer aficionados and there was something for everyone. Highly recommended !!

This is our second time and would recommend it to anyone if they are looking for a fun day and some beer. Nick was so informative and made it an awesome day. He also suggested place to go once the tour was over. He was very personable with everyone. YOU NEED TO GO ON THE TOUR!!!

Great tour lots of good info, beer, and fun-guided. Great way to see the city in an air conditioned coach and visit places you wouldn’t ordinarily see. Had a blast! Perfect for friends or family, locals, or tourists.
