Barrel bus brewery tour

This was such a cool experience. Our tour guide was very informative and engaging. We got to experience 3 breweries we’ve never been to. We’ve already discussed doing this again. Thank you so much!

Exceptional tour! Our guide was incredible. He was knowledgeable and thoughtful in his story telling about the history of beer in Chicago. The breweries were top notch and we would definitely recommend!

A great Chicago beer experience!

I got my husband this tour for Christmas (selfishly because I have always wanted to do it lol) and it was so worth it! Our guide was super friendly, the staff at all the bars was super friendly, and the beer, of course, was delicious. You have time to sit down and order another one if you want too so you don’t feel like you’re being rushed. I would definitely recommend this tour - I wish I could just ride around in the barrel all day.

Fun trip!

The Barrel Run was an fun and unique experience. The vehicle was classy and a nice ride. We came with a large group and the host was very professional to all of us. The tours were stellar and informative. We had a great time and will do it again.
