Milwaukee Brauerei-Expedition: Bier, Geschichte & Genuss

I’m not a beer drinker and I still had fun. It was interesting to learn how the process is done. A few beers I would actually drink. Sucks we were unable to go one of the breweries since there were so many activities going on.

My husband and I have enjoyed craft beer since the beginning and have established a pallet for certain styles. We did this tour to learn about new locations in Milwaukee. We had four stops: Lakefront, Dead Bird, Hacienda and Gathering Place. Our tour guide, Ken, was friendly, knowledgeable on the brewing process and happy to answer any questions. He did a great job. The down side for us was most of the beers offered were okay, but nothing over the top. What we found odd was at each establishment Ken was giving the behind the scenes tour. In any tour we have taken, the owner, brewer or staff member has conducted the tour. The other odd thing was no one from the breweries acknowledged us or thanked us for coming. It was a group of 12. Lunch at Hacienda was okay, but nothing great. Would we go back to any? Lakefront yes because we do like and buy many of their beers. We’ve been there before. A no for the others. The van Ken has for transportation may be able to accommodate up to 14 passengers, but it’s going to be like sardines. Even 12 was tight and not comfortable.

Had a great time. So much beer and a nice small lunch. It was great to get the history of the stops and also if Milwaukee brewing.

Great time with our guide Ken. Got to learn about Milwaukee beer history, taste some great beer and the food was really good as well. Highly recommend taking this tour.

Had a great time with awesome beer and food! Ken was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We would recommend the tour.

Our tour guide, Ken, was wonderful and we made so many friends along the tour from all over the country. It was one of the best experiences in Milwaukee we had. Thank you so much for providing us with a safe, relaxed, informative, and incredibly enjoyable time. I will highly recommend your tour for anyone I know.

Very well organized. Tour was informative and Ken, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable. Delicious lunch and good brews!! Enjoyed it very much!!

What a fun afternoon!! Ken was so knowledgeable about beer history and the beer production process. Our tour was a small group so we had a lot of personal attention. The 4 places we stopped were all great and the lunch at the 3rd stop was outstanding. The chef came out and gave us all the details of the salsa trio, the wings, the salad and the brisket chili with quesadillas. Bravo, Ken!

Ken did a great job shuttling us around for the day and teaching us some beer history and Milwaukee history as well! We checked out four great breweries we probably would not have found on our own, and as a bonus he dropped us off at one last brewery I wanted to check out as well! I highly recommend taking this tour!

My husband and I took the tour on a recent Saturday and it exceeded our expectations! Ken was our guide and he leads an interesting and fun tour sharing his beer knowledge and other facts about the city! In addition, he has organized each stop so things went seamlessly ! Beer AND food was first class! It was a relaxing and fun day..we would do it again in a heartbeat!
