What Our Guests Are Saying
Loved it! Brewery tour meets culture crawl. Would recommend to anyone looking to learn more about Vancouver while staying refreshed.
This Brewery Creek Tour was super fun! We did it for a friends birthday and even though everyone on the tour lives in or is from Vancouver we all learned so much. We went to places we hadn’t been before and learned about the history of the area and the current local businesses. Would definitely do a tour again.
What an amazing tour! I didn’t even know those breweries exsisted there. Neither did my friend, and we both live in Vancouver for a while. Lol. Thank you for opening our eyes Chad. Beer wise, just wonderful. I was always against the sours’ or ipa’ s until this tour. The people working at the breweries are also very nice and proud to show their facilities and best beers to Chad’s guests. This was a great experience and definitely a must do with out of town friends, or just for fun.
So much fun!… The 3 breweries we visited were very unique and our tour guide, Chad, had an Awesome selection of craft beers chosen for us to try. Getting to see inside the actual brewery and learn about the process only enhanced the experience even more. The walk between pubs was fun as our guide showed us some amazing street art and talked about its history with the city. Good times, great beer, best guide!
