3.Chicago Craft Brewery Barrel Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 339 reviews · 3 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $99

Meet near Chicago’s River North, then ride a climate-controlled bus shaped like a giant barrel to up to three local breweries. Guides such as Ted and David share Chicago and Prohibition stories while you sample up to 55 ounces of beer. Bring photo ID, closed-toe shoes, and a willingness to meet fellow beer fans.

“We visited 3 breweries, the first you got to choose any 1 drink from the menu, the second you got a $10 credit and the third 3 small tasters of beers were sat out when we arrived. This was our least favourite of the breweries, the beers wouldn’t be ones I would have chosen and who knows how long they had been sat out for before we arrived. Our driver Ted was lovely but was just a driver between the breweries I was expecting more of a tour guide. We also weren’t told how long we had in each place which would’ve been really helpful. All in all we did…”
