This is a very fun and worthwhile organized tour that takes you to three or four of the local microbreweries by shuttle bus for private, behind the scenes tours and tastings. You spend about an hour at each place--enough time to get a feel and a TASTE of what the brewery has to offer. Then you get chauffeured to the next top. Light snacks and chilled water are provided on the bus. Great fun to do if you are into microbrews--wonderful way to spend an afternoon--alone or with friends.
