A Brewery tour is a unique opportunity to get a close up and behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making some of the best beers in the nation. Most of the breweries are small allowing you to get a real sense of what it takes to make a craft beer. During a typical tour you will get to meet the brewmaster, learn the science of making great beer and even get a taste of the finished product. If you are a true beer nut, there is nothing more fun than a brewery tour.
