The Public Tour

Hop on board for a brewery tour of the San Francisco Bay Area like never before. We'll visit three incredible breweries, starting at 10:30 AM and ending at 5:30 PM. The tour will include lunch, beer tastings at all three breweries and guided tours of breweries such as Lagunitas Brewing Company's massive brewhouse.

As a guest on our brew bus you'll be led by two guides who'll help you learn the taste of beer you've always longed for but can't seem to put a finger on. And, what kind of brewery tour would this be if we didn't give you a few souvenirs too (hint: brush up on your beer trivia knowledge!). All gratuities for the breweries will be covered by Golden Gate BrewTours. All you need to do is show up for the bus and prepare yourself for a day of liquid exploration.

You must be at least 21 years of age to attend the tour.
