What to expect
You'll be picked up from your chosen meeting point and collected in an air-conditioned minivan by 11 AM. The driver acts as your guide, taking you to four venues (typically two breweries and two distilleries, though the mix varies) from a pool of eight local spots. At each stop, you'll receive a tasting paddle of their full range and a guided introduction to what you're trying — staff walk you through the beers, spirits or alternatives you've selected.
Lunch happens midway through the tour at a venue with options for all diets. By day's end you'll have sampled around 15–20 drinks across the stops, and you'll be returned to your starting point.
