06 / BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT

A better brewery visit starts here.

A little planning leaves more room for the good part.

NOTE / 01

Check the actual location.

A production brewery, a downtown taproom, and a second brewpub can have different hours and menus. Use the official location page.

NOTE / 02

Book the behind-the-scenes part.

Tours and guided tastings may need a reservation. Check the booking page before building the day around one.

NOTE / 03

Know the food situation.

Full kitchen, rotating food truck, or bring-your-own? Check the menu and visitor rules, especially when you are bringing a group.

NOTE / 04

Make the ride part of the plan.

Sort out a designated driver, transit, or a ride before the first pour. Ask about smaller pours and alcohol-free options, too.
