About
We welcome private tours outside of our normal tour schedule. You can choose one of the public tours listed on our website or we can customize one for you. Tours are great for business outings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, family outings, and more! We can also assist with partners at local breweries and restaurants for tastings, food, and more.
Contact us at: info@brewingheritagetrail.org and let us know the date and time you are considering, along with the anticipated number of guests and any specific tour content or locations, such as taprooms, you’d like to visit.
Below is some general information about our private tours:
– Schedule/Duration: We can typically start the tour at any day or time you prefer and can either begin at the BHT Tour Center (1939 Race St.) or meet you at a location of your choosing in the neighborhood. Typically these tours are about 90-120 minutes, but we are flexible on the time depending on what you prefer.
– Content: All of our public tours are available as private tours and they typically include a visit to an 1850s underground lagering cellar, but if there are particular locations you’d like to visit, please let us know, otherwise we can curate the content for you. These are usually walking tours, but we can set up transportation for an additional fee or utilize the streetcar, which is free.
– Cost: The base fee is $300 and that covers 1-8 guests. Tours are $35 per person for each additional attendee, but we do give group discounts. For groups of 9-19, we offer 15% off ($29.75 each) or groups 20 or more we offer 20% off ($28 each). If you would like us to set up a pint or flight of beers at a local taproom before, during, or after the tour it is typically $5-11 per person depending on where we go and what you want to drink. However, if you would like to keep all food/beverages on a separate tab, we can set things up that way as well. For all private tours, we include a 10% gratuity for the guide and for groups of more than 20 we typically add a second guide, splitting the group in two.
– Timeline: We like to have most details and payments finalized two weeks before the tour date in order to schedule a guide and notify any taprooms we’re working with on the tour.
