We have buses ranging from 15 person capacity up to 40 person capacity. When making your reservation, please be sure to specify your group size so that we can reserve the correct bus for your event.

Our tours typically include 4 breweries. The itinerary is subject to change based on seasonality and availability. We reserve the right to make last-minute changes based on factors like weather, availability, or any other reason.

For all private tours, our guests can choose their destinations and coordinate as many stops as they like. The number of stops your group decides to make does not impact the cost of your reservation. Please work with one of our representatives to ensure we can accomplish everything your group wants to do.

Absolutely! We can pick your group up so long as you live within 75 miles of the region you will be visiting. For a private pickup, there is a convenience fee starting at $25 and varies based on your distance from our home base in Appleton.

Our clients have three tour options to choose from, all of which are based on geographic location (region) and time commitment. The easiest to secure your reservation is on our website using our booking software. The second option is you can call us directly and we can take your reservation over the phone. From there, you will be prompted to make payment in full. To accept any reservation without full payment upfront, a minimum of a $100 down payment is required for groups.

We have 2 booking options “Book a Seat” (aka pay per seat) which is great for smaller groups. However, we do require a minimum of 8 people if booking using this option.

Your other option is to book the entire bus (paying a flat rate). This would be considered a private tour and for a small fee, we can pick you up from any location. Private tours may also have the flexibility to choose their brewery stops.

Please note, prices may vary based on region, time of year, and miles traveled.
