Seven Superb Multi-Brewery Tours

Multi-brewery tours are a great way to get your feet wet in a new city's craft beer scene. They can provide in-depth knowledge of an unfamiliar area, as well as show you the best places to grab a cold, craft beer. They are especially valuable for new craft beer enthusiasts, who want to learn more about the many aspects of beer.
While there are hundreds of brewery tours around the country, there are a few that stand out from the rest. Getting from brewery to brewery on these tours could be a short walk, or even a boat ride down a river. So whether you're new to an area or just visiting, be sure to check out these tours for a great time.
