Your ticket price covers the full pour you receive at the breweries, gratuity for the servers and bartenders who wait on the group and transportation/gas.  Breweries do not pay us to visit – we pay them for the beers you drink – that’s what most of your fare covers.

Stuff comes up, we get it. You will be missed.

Consideration for such circumstances is determined by the tour guide/driver. At time of tour cancellation due to said circumstances, all available efforts will be taken to notify the scheduled customers.

Overnight, cheap, and/or gated parking is available near all tour meeting spots – why do you think we meet there?!? Your driver will have a resource of cab numbers that he or she is happy to share with you. Do you want to know how to multiply the cost of your beer tour by 1000? Get pulled over.

Tour typically last 3.5 - 5 hours depending on the breweries visited, and travel times.

12. Can the bus accommodate guests with mobility challenges?

We will do our best to assist guests who have mobility issues, and work with our breweries to accommodate them. However, please keep in mind that most of our tours will require that guests be able to do at least a few of the following: Stand or walk for periods of 10-45 minutes during brewhouse tours, climb stairs, get in and out of picnic table-style seating and/or high top chairs. Our current bus is, unfortunately, not wheelchair accessible, and guests will need to be able to walk up about four stairs to board.

13. What should I bring with me?

We do our best to provide everything you might need. All you need to bring is curiosity, a good attitude and a method of payment for any food, additional beer or merchandise you might purchase along the way. We provide a cooler full of bottled water (with extra room for any to-go beer you might buy).

14.  Is BrewHop STL a party bus?  What happens if I drink too much?

Thanks for asking. We are absolutely not a party bus. Our goal is to help you explore and understand craft beer, not to get you drunk. Our tours are very structured, and we keep a tight timetable. We do not tolerate guests who become too intoxicated or abusive to our team, other patrons or the staff/patrons of the breweries we visit. If you are looking for transportation from bar to bar, so you can safely drink, we can refer you to companies offering that service.

​

We reserve to right to deny alcohol service to any guest who becomes too intoxicated or behaves disrespectfully on the bus or in any of the breweries. In extreme cases, we will ask a guest to leave the tour and provide him/her with cab transportation back to the pick-up spot or home. We encourage responsible drinking, and suggest that every group designate a driver, or get a ride/taxi/Uber/Lyft to and from the pick-up/drop-off location. We also reserve the right to refuse boarding to any guest who we suspect may already be intoxicated.

15.  Are you guys dumb?  You spelled a bunch of stuff wrong and your grammar is horrible!

We love beer and are so excited to share that with people, we sometimes type a little fast and make mistakes.  We are beer people not copywriters.  If you find an error, do us a solid and shoot an email to brewhopstl@gmail.com and we will take a look!
