As someone who enjoys the challenges and experience of new ventures, I was enthusiastic to take this tour. Many of my friends had been on the tour prior and raved about the various bars, breweries and beer halls they visited along the way. The tour began at Chelsea Piers, where we were given an informative introduction to the brewing process... More

I thought this tour was a blast! Our tour guide, Marshall, was very knowledgable about the history of beer and New York City. I've done many beer brewery tours before, which are great, but I liked that this tour not only gave brewery-beer-making-facts, but Marshall talked a lot about the history of beer, which I had never heard before.

Its almost impossible to find that perfect combination of a tour where the tour itself is interesting and enjoyable and the guides make you feel like you're visiting family in NYC. The NY Beer and Brewery Tour blew me away on both accounts. We visited some great breweries and beer halls, learned a lot, drank a lot and had a... More

My boyfriend & I decided to pack the van with some of our closest friends to celebrate our birthdays, and we sure were glad we did! While on the bus, we were constantly entertained and informed by our host Marshall. Not only did we get fun facts about beer and beer history, but Marshall spoke of NYC history as well.... More

Marshall knows his territory, his liquor, and his food/beer pairings. He set up a great set of tours that took us swiftly through three boroughs in NYC. Each location was educational and entertaining - Marshall imparted a lot of information, with a great sense of humor and in a way that was never boring. This tour was a lot of... More

Marshall, our guide, led our group on a great day of drinking beer around Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. He presented an exceptional history of beer in New York City and how the beer industry paralleled the growth, decline, and renewal of New York City. The tour stops were well chosen: 
- Chelsea Brewing Company: the staff gave a brief tour... More

Do you get to visit and drink at New York City's best brewery's stretching from Chelsea to Williamsburg? Check. Do you get a audio tour of the city's brewing history from an entertaining guide? Check. Is Bohemia Hall the grande finale? Check. If you like good bear, NYC history and the ability be driven around while you drink, this tour... More

What can be better than a full day of beer with a bus filled with more beer enthusiasts? I went on this tour last Saturday with a good friend of mine and expected to maybe learn about how beer was made and taste some local brews. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was much more than that. We did... More

I have to admit - for the price - I was expecting a lot, and I think Marshall came through. First off - he picked some great spots to visit, all were very diverse and unique and across several boroughs. Marshall was able to provide a lot of interesting history about beer in NYC from the days of New Amsterdam... More
