STL Brewery Hop

I have called 3 times and emailed over the last couple days to try to set up a private hop, but they never return calls or answer emails. I’m hoping they are on vacation, it’s that or they don’t like money.

We really enjoyed our tour! Leetah and Lindsay (not sure of the name, but she was the driver and she was awesome) were really knowledgeable about St. Louis beer and about each brewery we went to. They were laid-​back and friendly while still being professional. They kept the tour upbeat, even during that awkward pre-​drinking part.
I have already recommended this tour to friends and would definitely go again. I also got a great deal on Groupon for the tour!

This is a fun way to spend a winter Saturday. They’re not offering much more than a ride to three brewpubs, the brewpubs do the rest. A plus, at least for our trip, was that the bus is full of people looking for a good time. The driver and tour guide were friendly.
Our tour went to Square One, Six Row and Kirkwood Station. The quality of the tours was really spread out — Six Row was excellent, Kirkwood Station was pretty skimpy and rushed, but they compensated by giving everyone a full pint of beer, plus they were a friendly bunch.
When we got back to the starting point, The Wood bar and grill in Maplewood, they brought out a pile of toasted ravs and pretzels, which hit the spot. We walked across the street to the Maya Café for a very early dinner (they open at 5, but let us come in a bit early).
On the downside, the tour was overbooked by four people, so four of us had to stand on the bus. I thought they should have had some way to compensate for this.
Three and a half stars.

What a unique tour! Being a mostly Bud Light gal I was wondering how I got roped into a craft beer tour, but a friend who had done it before swore I would enjoy it, and I did! We conveniently (at least for me) got picked up from the Wood in Maplewood and headed down to the Central West End for our first stop at Six Row Brew Co., followed by 4 Hands, and concluding at Square One Brewery. At each stop we had a personally guided tour from a brew master who was knowledgable about the brewing process as well as the history of each brewery which I enjoyed. It was also clear that all parties involved in craft brewing are passionate about their product and enjoy what they do. I enjoyed the samples at each stop and the time to enjoy more «samples» (ok, full glasses) and talk with the people on the tour as well as with the brewers. The bus (which has perimiter seating which I love because it’s way easier to interact with the people I was with and also everyone else on the tour) then dropped us back off at The Wood where there was a complimentary buffet of appetizers waiting for us. I had a blast on this tour and would highly recommend it as an incredibly fun way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon!

What a blast! I took my brother who is a brewer on the Saturday tour for his birthday. We visited Urban Chestnut, 4 Hands and Perennial and had an amazing time going behind the scenes of some of St. Louis’ best breweries. As a non-​drinker, the experience was still amazing and the samples at each brewery were the perfect way to get a feel for each brewery’s personal touch. Can’t wait to go on another hop!

What a great Saturday. The bus took us around town to three different microbreweries. Our tour was Urban Chestnut, 4Hands, and Perennial. At each stop, we got a tour and a tasting, as well as some time to enjoy the pub.
Highly recommended.
