I'll start by the one downside was the separate locations however it wasn't to cold out it was a nice walk. The gentleman who guided us through the tour where knowledgeable and great. The beer was awesome being able to taste a variety and understand how they were made was very insightful. This is a definite recommend!

During the Lakeview & Lincoln Park Tour you will learn about the first brewery in the city, prohibition and Capone while enjoying bacon tastings.
During the Loop Tour you will learn the basics of Chicago’s Sinful history and devour a slice of Stuffed Pizza.
