We did a corporate event for my team and this was by far our best Virtual experience of the year. Bruce was highly educated on both Beer and Chicago History, but most importantly made the event fun and interactive for everyone on the call. Most of the team stayed after the scheduled time which has not happened for any other event this year. Thanks Bruce and team!…

We can’t wait to have another virtual beer tasting session.…

I organized a Virtual Hoppy Hour for a group of parents from my daughter's preschool. Bruce was our host & we had an absolute blast. He kept the whole group engaged as we tasted our way through 4 beers. He is knowledgeable, personable and incredibly funny.

Getting together with friends for a virtual beer tasting with Bruce was fantastic. The history was great - beer and city - and it was extremely well paired with just an amazing amount of Friday night Zoom fun. We would absolutely do this again. Cheers to the next time!

Review of: Pioneers & Pints Chicago Beer Tour
For our friend's birthday, we attended Chris' Virtual Hoppy Hour Beer Tasting Class! We knew some people well and others not at all. CB got us well acquainted quickly and found our common ground....partying and booze! With CB's Hoppy Tour, you can expect to learn a LOT about beer (chemically), it's history, and even Chicago. I grew up two hours outside of the Chi and I even learned some new stuff! We strongly recommend the virtual Hoppy Hour for any group that's looking to reconnect and celebrate a special occasion.…
