Full description

Each stop on the tour – be it Lake Effect, Revolution, Goose Island, or any of the other popular spots like Burning Bush, Pilot Project, or Great Central – promises a taste of the city's finest brews. This Barrel Bus isn’t just transportation; it's a time machine taking you back to the 1920s prohibition era, with a door that opens vertically, reminiscent of hidden cellars from a bygone era. The bus itself, with its wood staves, steel hoops, and curved shape, resonates with the authenticity of a real barrel. The handrails, lights, and accessories, all echoing the classic equipment used in brewing, set the stage for a journey that's as flavorful and exciting as the beers you'll sample. This isn't just a brewery tour; it's an adventure crafted for beer enthusiasts who love a bit of history with their hops.
