🍻 How It All Began… 🇺🇸
A recent visit to @crushedbygiants, a local brewery in Chicago, served as a powerful reminder of what Brewery Tours is all about.
Before Brewery Tours ever hosted its first guest, before the routes, the experiences, and the stories… our Founder traveled the country visiting local breweries just like Crushed by Giants. But he didn’t just grab a beer there—he stepped into something bigger. He talked with the brewers, heard the passion behind each pint, and experienced firsthand what makes American craft beer so special. It wasn’t just about drinking beer—it was about understanding it, connecting with it, and living it.
Those moments became the foundation of Brewery Tours. From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: bring people closer to the heart of craft beer. Not just to drink it, but to truly experience it—one brewery, one story, one beer at a time. Because great beer isn’t just poured… it’s experienced. 🍺
We invite you to experience craft beer with us on one of our immersive, educational and entertaining craft beer experiences today. Go to www.UltimateCraftBeerExperience.com for more information.
Cheers! 🍻

Last night the Brew Crew had the pleasure of visiting the newest addition to the York County craft beer scene for its soft opening - @spruceonblackbridge.
We enjoyed 3 of their 6 taps - a roasty Czech dark lager, a smooth German pils, and their Spruce IPA, which we`re pretty sure was an ESB (didn`t get to talk with the brewer on this trip). All were expertly brewed by their head brewer, Justin Lee, a Siebel Institute graduate with over 18 years of experience brewing at @yardsbrew and @stoudtsbeer.
Then there was the food. Delicious appetizers, crisp salads, tasty entrees, and decadent deserts.
Finally, the space is welcoming, confortable and absolutely beautiful. We look forward to featuring the Spruce on our group and charter experiences!
