We booked the Brewsline to take us to the Thomas Rhett concert at Ruoff Music Center! They came to Carmel to pick us up, was right on time, and was SO much fun! Bluetooth audio set up & they let you play whatever you want! (Speakers are bumping!) They had coolers filled with ice ready to us to keep everything cold. Since this wasn't their normal brewery tour, we were able to bring any alcohol and food and keep it on bus! You also can tailgate outside of the bus before going into concert. They park behind the venue, and stay there the entire concert, and bring you home! The ride home has lights in the bus and is so fun! 14 people Max - I HIGHLY recommend this! We had so much fun. Our drives name was Darryl and he was great. Couldn't thank him enough!

The BrewsLine makes for a delightful, responsible afternoon/evening of beer drinking in Hamilton Country. Our tour stops were Barley Island in Noblesville, Grand Junction in Westfield, Danny Boy in Carmel, and Union Brewing in Carmel (this was also the pick up spot). I'll be honest: I probably wouldn't have sought these out on my own, especially since I live in Marion County, and better yet I visited all four in one day. Thank goodness for this tour and driver Darryl for ensuring the best time possible!Tip: The more friends you book, the merrier!

Had a great time! Had a great random group of people on the bus, which at first I thought would be kind of awkward but it wasn't at all. We were all sharing stories and laughing and having a great time. Daryl, the owner, was a great host! He made jokes with us, kept us on time and had great recommendations about each of the 4 breweries we went to. I didn't think that a half hour at each brewery would be long enough, but it was actually about perfect. We got to try lots of different styles of beer and had great conversations with the bartenders at each brewery. Overall great time, and I'm definitely excited to do this again! Really hope they expand this up near south bend!

What a great night!!! My girlfriend wanted to do this for her birthday this weekend and it was a blast! I was a little skeptical at first because of the price but the amount of free beer and good times is totally worth it. Like I said the breweries will give you free samples (some more so than others) and also give you the story of their brewery and maybe even gifts for a birthday person!! The bus driver (Darryl) was very friendly and knowledgeable of beer and the breweries. Our bus was all 12 of people we knew so I can't speak to how strangers will work out but you don't spend a lot of time on the bus so it should work out for the best!

Booked this tour for my husband's birthday and it was the bicentennial tour! So much fun and the guide, Darryl, was great! He had little tidbits of information on each brewery and some trivia. He definitely helped to make sure we had fun. We had 10 people so we were even able to get a pick up at hour house, which made the planning even easier. It's a great way to get a bit of Indy history while supporting your local breweries. I highly recommend checking this out!

Last weekend, theCityMoms booked the entire bus for $19.09 per person. If you book the entire 12 person bus, it is a DEAL! Darryl will pick you up in ANY location in Hamilton County so he drove right up to my house. It was awesome!To start, he does a brief introduction to what we are going to do, which breweries we are going to visit (a list of 8 are associated with his tour). We go to the ones that can accommodate us and that are open (we went on Sunday). He chooses and we get on the road. There is a waiver to sign, some good pretzel snacks to eat and some good beer to drink during the tour. It's pretty fantastic.I must admit, I get out and about a lot and I just love when I "find" something special about my city. This is one of them. TOP notch organization, associated with some fantastic breweries throughout the city who were fabulous and accommodating. I loved how organized we were the entire time, with countdowns to when we had to leave each location so we could stay on time. This can be a challenge with 12 moms who are away from their kiddos for the afternoon.We started off at Barley Island, which was by far my least favorite stop. I think it's b/c the servers didn't really tell us anything about the brew. They just dropped off pitchers and left the area. We served ourselves and enjoyed the time there but I was glad it was short. It would have been nice to get a "true" experience but they clearly weren't interested in an upsell. So we moved on quickly. The 2nd stop was Grand Junction and this ranked up there with great. While we didn't get a lot of info on the beer, I just loved this brewery/bar/restaurant. We got some fried pickles and ordered an actual beer. Our servers were AWESOME and got us in and out and snacking on the apps very efficiently and allowed us to "take over" for the 30 minutes we were there. Great experience!The next stop was Upland in Carmel and it was MY FAVORITE STOP. The guys at Upland gave us some large pours, the MOST tastings and went into a TON of detail about each taste. The folks at the bar got to hear the whole spiel too and it was really cool to hear all about the history of the beer and why each beer was chosen for us to taste and what we could expect to taste while we were drinking it. I also loved that it was $2 pints! We were all happy to order more beer here!The final stop was the Union Brewing company. They had some good beer here too, but I think we annoyed the server. Sucks to be last stop when most of us don't drink and by this time were really quite rowdy. Darryl handled us in stride and it was an incredibly fun afternoon with my girlfriends on the beer bus!Tips - you can bring booze on the bus as long as it's a beer purchased at the brewery and he keeps coolers on the bus if you want to buy and bring home a growler.You can have food/snacks on the bus which is awesome since you are on a tight schedule, so get it to go and enjoy between stops.It would be amazing for a couples day out, birthday party, bachelorette/bachelor party. It's a very affordable fun experience. I would DEFINITELY do it again!

I can't stop raving about how awesome this brewery tour was. My three girlfriends and I had A BLAST! I was a little skeptical about riding in a short bus and drinking with a bunch of strangers but we all ended up bonding and talking and having a grand ol' time. Definitely the best groupon I've gotten in ages! We hit up four breweries on the northside and our driver/tour leader was an absolute hoot! He was on top of his game and made the experience even more enjoyable. I would love to do the downtown one next. Worth every penny, because the beer samples were huge, the transportation awesome, and the company fantastic!

A few friends and I purchased a groupon for the Brewsline. We ended up being the only people booked for that tour so they had us reschedule. They didn't hold us to any of the groupon restrictions and gave us a coupon code for our friends. We filled the bus for the next booking! We had an excellent time. The breweries we visited were Books & Brews, Bier, Triton, and Redemption. Each brewery knew we were coming and had samples set up for us. They also took time to tell us about the beer. The Brewsline is more than transportation between the breweries, they make sure that you have a good time and that you learn about the beers and breweries that you're experiencing. Our driver also told us which places served food and if it would take a long time for the food to come (we were on a schedule).This was a great experience and I would certainly go again.

THIS IS THE ONE!!!!!!!! After reading LOTS of reviews of brewery tours, we chose The BrewsLine for my husband's birthday surprise party. It's different from the other brewery tours because Darryl plans your itinerary ahead of time, contacts the breweries so they know you are coming and then goes in when you arrive to make sure they are ready. That way the breweries can have samples for you and a place for you all to gather, so you don't spend time trying to get seats and waiting for samples to be poured. We loved all the breweries he chose -- great beer and something new for everyone in our group! The best part was he picked us up at my house and dropped us back here, so no concerns about anyone driving. The bus itself is fun with good lighting and a blue tooth radio for your tunes. All in all a great evening. If you are looking for a great value and a fun time, this is the one!!
