Delicious, with a wide variety, and a great guide
We had a great time with Chris. He took us to three breweries, each better than the last. Apparently the one that is on virtually every tour, because they provide food, is the Church Beer Works. That is in a fantastic location, inside an old church, complete with stained glass. The beer and food were outstanding too. My favorite brewery was Lolev, with puts the untappd ratings of its beers right on the menu. When nothing is below a 4, you know it’s pretty good.Chris is a high school teacher who does this on weekends. Most of the best tour guides we’ve had have been educators, and this was no exception. Very outgoing, very knowledgeable, and very accommodating. We’ve been on another tour with this company so I know it’s standard to start with asking favorite beer styles. He took our input and crafted the menu around it. I have to apologize to my fellow tourist who tried the Lolev plum saison (saison being my favorite style), made a face, and pronounced that it was . At least I think she liked everything else, and I gave it top marks. Chris was also right when he said there was an IPA at our first stop that people who don’t like IPAs would like.All in all, a delicious and informative afternoon.
