Road Dog Tours - Distillery Tours

It was a Friday night. We met when his Rod Dog van pulled up to the curb of the Four Seasons. He got out of the van and that's when we first met. We shook hands; he introduced himself as Andrew and I introduced myself as Rana. I eventually found out that he was engaged to be married; his wedding was two and a half months away. I was a little heart broken, but decided we could still be best friends. The only problem is that I was visiting from West Hartford, CT.Andrew was our tour guide for the Road Dog Brewery Tours, which we found through Google. He was attentive, and was too good to our group of 12, filled with drunk asses and a Seattle Seahawks player trying to make the 53-man roster. He took us to Bad Jimmy's, Hillyard's and Outlanders. I was impressed by all! He explained the beer making process at Hillyard's and gave us a tour of the brewery. If anything; Andrew knew his shit; he had his beer facts together. He took into consideration our preferences and drunkeness when serving us the beer. At the end of the day, I was as heart broken when finding out Russell Wilson was with Ciara when I found out Andrew was engaged to be married. But his attentiveness and beer knowledge mindedness still won me over. He was simply the best. P.S. Yes, I am writing this review while still slightly inebriated post tour, with rosy-colored beer glasses on.

Thanks Tosh, we had a good time!Learned how whiskey, gin, rum, and vodka was distilled! And, the sampling was delicious at 3 Howls, Copperworks, and Batch 206. Great info on sights around town too. Highly recommend!

My friend and bought the Groupon for this tour for $39 per person. It advertised a tour of three local distilleries, learning about the history of distilling and the process behind the creation of various spirits, and two tastings of vodka, gin, whiskey, or other drinks at each distillery.The tour guide was nice and very accommodating and the distilleries were fun and informative. However, the three distilleries we visited on our tour were each under one year old. So, we didn't get to try any whiskey because whiskey takes 2 years to distill. We tasted one gin at one distillery and the rest were vodka and vodka variations. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to learning about and tasting all three spirits.To make matters worse, two guys inquired about and then joined our tour at the first distillery. My friend watched them the whole time and said they didn't pay. That is not fair for everyone who did pay. I feel like we overpaid, even with the Groupon discount. We got a nice shot glass and t-shirt at the end of the tour, but I don't want to advertise for them.I suggest you forget the tour and visit the distilleries on your own. If you don't have a designated driver, just walk or take public transportation. The samples are pretty small anyway.

I bought a Groupon and was not disappointed. The first place we went was a bar and the amount of alchol in the mixed drinks was about HALF the glass! This was great (if you like that) on an empty stomach. Lol. It's a nice tour to take while you're on vacation and/or like myself, not one to get out much and want something to do plus get a bit of education about certain things. The distilleries we visited ppl giving the tours were very helpful and answered the questions very well. All in all: fun tour!

Whiskey, rye and smooth downing drinks. Can't ask for more. A tour that's the best there is to offer, don't scoff just go.

We had a great time on the distillery tour. Our driver was great. We really enjoyed our visit at Letterpress distillery. The tastings were great. Once again, thank you for a great time.

Had a great time, our tour guy was fun and informative, the distilleries were neat (and quite alcoholic...). Great time all around :D

We had the best time on the distillery tour. The guides were both knowledgeable and fun. They took us to three really good distilleries that provided samples of a variety of rum, vodka, gin, whiskey and limoncello. The size and number of samples varied at each distillery, but were more than generous. Our transportation was roomy and comfortable. Everyone in our group enjoyed the tour and said they definitely would take the tour again.

The tour was everything that was expected. Brian the driver was friendly and knowledgable and put up with van full of tipsy customers. I would recommend the tour.

We had an awesome time on this tour today. It's a weekday so the tour itself was just me and my husband and another couple. We started at a bar near pike place market and tried two small servings of cocktails serving liquors from local distilleries. One was a negroni featuring gin from Copperworks and the other was a Moscow mule using hopped whisky from Three Howls.Next we drove to Copperworks where we got an in depth tour from one of the owners of their beautiful still. We tried four different liquors they make. Pours were pretty generous. Next up we went to another distillery that was also very nice and pleasant and last up was three howls that was awesome. Everyone we met was clearly really passionate about their craft and excited to have us come through. Our tour guide Jason told us a lot about the history and process of washington's distilleries. Id definitely go back on this tour or another with this group.
