City Brew Tours – Raleigh

City Brew Tours runs guided brewery trips around Raleigh, driving guests between taprooms so nobody at the table has to stay sober. The company’s line is short: you drink, we drive. Tours are all-inclusive, with food pairings worked in along the way and a look behind the scenes at each brewery.

Public tours and private bookings are both available, and gift cards can be bought for someone who would enjoy a day of it. The Raleigh operation is part of a company that began in Vermont and now works in cities around the country.
