What Our Guests Think About Asheville Brews Cruise
The Brew Cruise was a wedding gift to my husband and I this past Fall. We finally took advantage of this gift this past June. What a great time! JC is a wonderful host and a great tour guide through the downtown area of Asheville. The three breweries we toured in Asheville were clean, inviting and had great beer! We will definitely take our out of town friends and family members back to these breweries. I highly recommend this tour with JC, it was very fun, entertaining and educational.

Brews Cruise is the OG of brewery tours and the experience shows. Who would have thought riding on the short bus could be so much fun? JC was our Sensei and he has a black belt in beer. He kept everything fun and educational. Do not miss out on this experience.

10/10 trip. Had an exceptional time touring the Asheville brewery scene with JC in the short bus. Can’t recommend enough
– Connor G., Google
JC knows anything and everything about beer. He even made sure we had water at each stop. Well worth the money and we will definitely book again when we return to Asheville. If you like beer, you MUST do this tour!

We got this tour from our great friends who live in the town and we really thanks them for that experience! All you want to know about the Asheville beers and breweries, just ask the guide. As we are from the country where the "beer was born" (Czech Republic, Pilsner) I appreciated the knowledge of that history as well 👍 We spent a lot of fun there and tasted many types of beers during the tour, the Brew Cruise bus was amazing, we met nice people from other countries. Absolutely recommend that 🍻

I did the Asheville Brews Cruise as part of a joint bachelor-bachelorette party. Everything with JC and Zach went perfectly, from scheduling, to providing hospitality, to being very knowledge of the local brews. Also just super fun and chill guys.
