Fresh Tap Tours was fantastic!! Being relatively new to the area, my fiance and I have been wanting to go on a brewery tour and decided his birthday was the best time to do it.
We initially signed up for the downtown one (aka "the townie"), but I was too sick to go. Worried that I would have to forfeit the tickets because of last minute sickness, I called and asked if we could reschedule. Fresh Tap Tours was very understanding and rescheduled us for "the connoisseur" (clear lake and galveston area), which ended up being fantastic!
Jonathan was a great tour guide. We met at Nobi and then went to Texas Beer Refinery, Galveston Bay Brewing Company, and Saloon Door Brewery. Everyone was so knowledgeable and the beer was so good. We tried a variety of beers...the craziest ones tasted like watermelon, dreamsicle, smoked sausage/brisket, or chocolate and peanut butter. We loved all the breweries and will def be going back to visit each one. We had no idea there were so many throughout Houston, let alone in the Clear Lake/Galveston area. And Jonathan was great at offering suggestions for other breweries for us to try as well. Saloon Door hasn't even opened yet, but we were able to stop in and try a few! We were given snacks, koozies, sunglasses, and some souvenir glasses from the breweries. My fiance and I bought a crowler of the smoked beer as well, it was just too good to pass up.
I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to try something new in Houston, especially beer lovers or people just wanting to branch out in the beer area. I have several friends from out of town wanting to sign up for a tour when they visit. So excited, thanks again Fresh Tap! read more
