Really fun tour and super informative!…read more Great for big group or small groups. We had 4 people in our party but the tour total was about 25 people & by the end of the tour we had gotten to know everyone and were all friends. At least half of our tour were locals from NY which right off the bat was a great sign this isn't your typical touristy thing. Such a great activity to do with out of town friends b/c It feels like a local secret, you learn a lot about the history of beer in NYC, and you drink a lot of tasty beer. We went on the Express Tour. I cannot wait to go on the regular tour next time!

Locally, I like to refer my guests and clients to Tania for Hudson Valley tours. Each time I have recommended her, the guests give me rave reviews and thank me for a great time. Tania knows all the Hudson Valley hot spots. Her "Take Me to the Vino" tour is great. It's much more than wine. It's food, entertainment, games, raffles etc... Don't hesitate to call The Little Wine Bus for a wine tour in the Hudson Valley.

Other than that, they were timely and fun!

I had a great experience with Hudson Valley Beer Tours! I was looking to arrange a tour for two as…read morea special surprise. While most companies weren't able to accommodate such a small party, this company was happy to work with us. Mike called me in advance to talk about what kind of day we wanted to have, what we like to drink and if we had any special ideas in mind. He had a great working knowledge of: which breweries had the best views; who had what kinds of products; what sort of food was served where; who had live music or special events and so on! He seemed happy to accommodate any requests we had in designing the tour, but was equally capable of crafting a great day with no help from me. It was nice to feel like I could be as much or as little a part of those choices as I wanted and know it would still be a great day. Our tour was also with Mike - who was on time, communicative, friendly, a good driver and an overall great guide. We had a wonderful day full of fantastic beer, some tasty cider, great food and good music. I would absolutely use Hudson Valley Beer Tours again in the future!

Angelo's secret weapon is his animated storytelling. He brought Brooklyn to life for us by highlighting the lives of historic and powerful women and other minorities who built the incredible city and fought to keep it locally owned and inclusive of all. Every tour stop was not only a great photo spot, but also a moment in history. We ate a wide variety of local food from pizza to dumplings and left with a profound sense of place and full bellies. Thank you, Angelo!

If you knew me, I always seeked out local breweries wherever I traveled and made it a point to visit any I could before I departed. Opened in late-2021 as the U.S. slowly started to open up at the tailend of the Covid pandemic, husband and wife owners, Stephen and Miller Hughes as avid beer enthusiasts with a passion for making their own beer, decided to follow their dream of opening a brewery and event space in the heart of downtown Newark where there once was a rich beer history. How did Newark's lone local beer producer treat my palate!? PURCHASE(S) *All beers from Newark Local Beer* Orange Crush Wheat Beer 4.9% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Bright amber color, citrusy wheaty aroma, light body, citrusy orange sweet wheaty flavor, crushable smooth finish, and citrusy wheaty aftertaste. Lite Rail Kölsch Beer 5.2% ABV 16floz Draft ($8.00): Amber color, biscuit malty aroma, light body, biscuit citrusy malty flavor, crisp smooth finish, and biscuit malty aftertaste. Utz "The Crab Chip" w/Chesapeake Bay Crab Seasoning Potato Chips 7.75oz Bag ($6.00): With no real nearby food options except for delivery, I chose this over beef jerky and the unique flavor of minimal crab and salty seasoning that made me really thirsty... a plus for a brewery! Sidecar Session IPA Beer 4.5% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Rich amber color, funky hoppy aroma, light body, dank hoppy tropical flavor, crisp finish, and earthy hoppy aftertaste. Coal Train Nitro Oatmeal Stout Beer 4.5% ABV 16floz Draft ($8.00): Brown red color, bread malty oatmeal aroma, light body, bready earthy oatmeal malt flavor, bitter drying finish, and bitter malty oatmeal aftertaste. Unleaded Hazy NEIPA Beer 7.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($10.00): Hazy amber color, citrusy hoppy aroma, light body, herbal hoppy flavor, crisp finish, and herbal hoppy aftertaste. My favorite of the bunch. Easy Rider IPA Beer 6.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($8.00): Hazy amber color, floral hoppy aroma, light body, citrusy fruity hoppy flavor, crisp smooth finish, and citrusy floral hoppy aftertaste. Stickers ($1.00 x3): I loved placing stickers on the walls of other breweries! Souvenir T-Shirt Baby Blue M ($25.00): Not that I needed ANOTHER t-shirt, but the logo was cool and I loved the Grateful Dead skull treatment. SERVICE I was warmly greeted by a friendly lone young man behind the bar as I made myself at home for several hours at a counter stool. It was just he and I for a while, so we chatted, as I kept ordering beers from him. Eventually, a large group from Audible came in as he managed the crowd perfectly. Once it was time for me to leave, I easily settled my tab as we each wished each other a good night. It was a chill afternoon with a cool guy - cheers! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I took a Lyft from Jersey City and never left my stool until I left, so I honestly had no idea the parking and streets situation in the area. However, it seemed like there was the possibility of street parking, but don't hold me to it. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A huge open one-floor layout with numerous brewing equipment visible on site, with numerous communal tables and stools, a small counter where I sat, and stark white walls like a hospital with some artwork hung on them. Plenty of natural lighting filtered through the large front glass doors and windows while an assortment of track and wall-mounted electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. No actual TVs but projections screened on the walls while an eclectic mix of music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was happy to finally visit Newark Local Beer and cover all of the breweries within proximity of my friend's place. I enjoyed the variety of brews they had and I drank, and the space has so much potential. The prices were comparable, the service was amazing, and I imagined they held nightly events to bring in the crowds. And, I'm unaware whether or not pets are allowed. Plus, I always preferred to support small mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $86.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Great tour!!! The…read moreonly hiccup was the bus was unmarked and not parked in front of McDonalds as described on the website/email instructions. I had just explained to my son the importance of arriving early because arriving on time makes you late(he wondered why we left the hotel early though we were only a couple of blocks away from McDonalds.) The unmarked bus was parked across the street in front of the Paramount building. We were in line for a different tour who was parked in front McDonalds who informed us that we were in line for the wrong tour and pointed to the unmarked bus. We still arrived on time. I then explained to my son that situations like this is why you arrive early. I had a ton of missed calls and was contacted by email but a sign of some sort would've helped(a magnetic sign on the driver and passenger doors, or a foldable sign that can be transported on the bus) as I noticed the bus from across the street(the same side as Applebees and Ellen's Stardust Diner) but had no way of identifying it.
