What the Private Brewery Tour Feels Like

The experience unfolds as a compact, instructor-led program: a brief welcome and introduction to the brewery’s story, a focused walkthrough of the production space, hands-on time with ingredients to smell and handle, and a private tasting that encourages questions and conversation—rounded out with time for networking and optional food or drinks at the adjacent Lock 13 Brewpub.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this private brewery tour suits—and who it doesn’t.

1
Corporate TeamsIdeal: designed specifically for corporate groups and team-building events, where a private, guided format supports bonding and shared learning.

3
Small Groups & DuosNot ideal: the tour is promoted for groups of 10 or more, so very small groups may need to combine with others or book an alternative offering.
4
