About
Brew Bus Tours fermented in 2011 when our Founder Anthony Derby was a student at The University of Colorado. When he tried to visit 3 breweries in one day he quickly realized the need for a transportation service. We offer public and private events 7 days a week and specialize in birthday parties, bachelor & bachelorette parties, corporate outing and shuttle services.

We had a great experience with Brew Bus Tampa. Our corporate team (with several folks from out of town) booked a private bus for a 4 hour/3 brewery experience and had an awesome time for some bonding and brews! Wilson and Barry were great at making sure we got picked up on time, got to all of the breweries, and enjoyed our experience. Would definitely book again for a group outing.

We took a private Brew Bus tour for my 50th and we all had an epic time. I was able to pick the stops and then they planned a route and the driver Barry was exceptional and the beer tender was great at keeping my party of 21 people on track. kudos to Wilson, already putting an other trip togeather now.

My wife and I planned a custom tour (3 breweries and 1 food stop) the day after our wedding and we had an absolute blast! We had 40 guests take up two buses and honestly it was one of the highlights of the weekend. Everyone on the team from the drivers (shoutout Mama T) and the beer tenders were so personable and made sure we got from stop to stop without any issues.
I highly recommend any of their tours as it's a buttoned-up experience with top notch beer and a guaranteed good time.

I used The Brew Bus for my wedding transportation and it was awesome. Everything ran nice and smooth and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The driver was prompt and outgoing, I would definitely suggest their services to anyone.

Nice concept. If I do it again I will take the daytime tour. Not enough time on a Friday night to really explore all the bars. Tour doesn't start until 7PM and did not pick us up at our first spot until almost 7:45. We only ended up going to three bars, and one was basically a video arcade. Bus is nice, drivers are friendly.

Second year in a row we celebrated my birthday with the Brew Bus! It was great last year, however, this year was even better. Such a great way to enjoy local craft beers with a bunch of your friends and family. Highly recommend!

I scheduled a private Brew Bus for my fiancé and his friends as a surprise Bachelor Party. They had the best time! Mike was super communicative in helping me plan the stops. The driver, Barry, and Beertender were great! 10/10 across the board. Now I want to plan one that I can go on!

Wilson and Barry were great! We had a private bus for the night and they made sure we had so much fun! They kept us on schedule. The beer was great and the breweries were all really nice. Great way to check out the local beer scene and not worry about driving!

I visit a large number of breweries over the course of a year. It isn’t difficult to find great beer, since there are so many thousands of breweries dedicated to artisanal quality. This is why I try to seek out breweries with something unique to offer and I easily found what I was looking for when I visited Brew Bus Brewing in Tampa, Florida.
I went to Brew Bus Brewing one day while I was touring Tampa in support of my beer blog, Great Beer Now. Right from the start, my impressions were positive. I liked the large parking lot because it meant no searching around for a place to park and no feeling of frustration when you can’t find a place to park. I liked the outdoor seating section on the side and I like the spacious interior, complete with games.
Brew Bus Brewing brews several beers of its own, both under the Brew Bus label and under the Florida Avenue label. There are a large number of taps with beer flowing freely and you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a beer you like among the many varied styles.
The distinguishing factor with Brew Bus Brewing and the chief reason to visit is its beer bus touring service. They offer several different bus tour options, but the best one is known as the Local Loop Tour. This one is best because it visits a total of 12 different places and travels around on a continuous loop. The 12 places include breweries, distilleries, beer bars, etc. What is cool is that there is no set schedule for getting back on the bus. It continues to go from place to place throughout a period of about seven hours. If you find a place you really like, you can stay a little longer and wait on the next bus to stop by. If you want to be really ambitious, you can opt to visit all of the places on the tour, which means spending only a short time at each- about 30 minutes. I don’t recommend doing this, because you will feel rushed and will miss out on really getting to know the establishments. But if you wanted to cram in as many new places as possible, you could do this.
Brew Bus Brewing serves food as well as beer so you can fill up on food before you depart for a tour. This is a good idea, since the added food in your stomach will help you last a little longer as you travel from brewery to brewery.
I like breweries that have something different to offer and in the Tampa, Florida area, Brew Bus Brewing is certainly an establishment with a feature like no other. The beer bus tour service is one of a kind and, when combined with all of the other positive qualities, it adds up to one of the top breweries in Tampa and one you must visit.

I rented the brew bus for my birthday and had an AMAZING time! I really can't say enough good things about my experience with the brew bus. The staff was beyond helpful when it came to planning and organizing the event. Everything ran smoothly throughout the night and all of my guests had a blast! I highly recommend this company and can't wait for my next experience with them :)

We are coming off a cruise and want to do the tour before heading to the airport. Do you have any luggage holding facilities?
Many Thanks
