Had so much fun on our Brews Cruise! Went to Asheville with 6 other friends, so we knew it could be a bit of a wait to get into breweries with a party of our size. The Brews Cruise is a perfect alternative. Visited 3 breweries where space is reserved and copious amounts of beer are included in the ticket price. JC is an awesome driver and guide; super fun and knowledgeable. Would absolutely do this again next time we’re in town!

Asheville Brews Cruise was absolutely fantastic! Jeff is knowledgeable, personable and an overall great human. I grew up in Asheville and he taught me things about my home city that I never knew. If you want a great experience, a fun tour guide and awesome beer Asheville Brews Cruise is the way to go!

We had so much fun on the Brews Cruise. We visited 4 breweries. Our guide was very knowledgeable and knew just what to suggest based on a few simple questions. Neither my husband nor myself are micro brew junkies but we both enjoyed the experience and would do it again if we returned to Asheville. I’ve recommended it to some friends that were traveling there too.

This was by far the best brewery tour we have been on. You get to learn so much and see a lot of different areas of Asheville. JC was the best tour guide, and he was extremely knowledgeable about beers, beer making, and the Asheville area. We had such a blast and would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area. It needs to be top of your list, and the very first thing you do!

We went on the Brews Cruise ‘cruisin’ for a brewsin’ with a group of 10 beautiful boisterous women (Bachelorette Party) and JC, the owner, was not only cute but extremely knowledgeable. We went from hungover messes to educated beer sommeliers. You not only taste yummy beer but learn about beer production and packaging. Dope for sure. Do it, book it. Highly recommend! JC, you showed us a good time, feel free to hit us up if you’re ever if our area lookin for a good time!

I went on the Brews Cruise as part of a joint bachelor-bachelorette party. JC and Zach handled the event perfectly, from scheduling, to providing hospitality, to being knowledgeable of their local beers and just overall chill. Highly HIGHLY recommend when you are in the area!

DO THIS TOUR! You will love riding the "short" bus with JC. He is very knowledgeable and will make sure that you sample a beer that YOU like. He is very kind and has a great sense of humor. We will book this Brews Cruise every time we visit Asheville. Tell JC that you want to get CRUMPED!

This was by far the best thing we spent money on in Asheville! JC was amazing, the beers we tried were all amazing as well. We met a bunch of other couples and ended up going out with everyone after. We had so much fun and went to breweries we would not have picked on our own. A must do if you’re in Asheville!

We had an amazing experience. Guide was fun and energetic. Made some friends from Florida and Australia which lead to more drinks and fun after the cruise. My wife and I highly recommend this brews cruise. J.C. Is a fantastic guide and please use only his brews cruise!

JC (owner) makes this tour the best in town. He wants you to have fun! We laughed and joked the whole time. He definitely is very knowledgeable about the breweries and the beers but the main attraction of the tour is the good vibes and charisma along the way!
