Educational and Fun January 2023

We had a great time on this tour. When we have done similar tours in the past, we were basically dropped off and picked up. Coby actually stays with you, picks the beers out for you, and teaches you the history and background of the style of beer you are sipping on. It is a full experience and Coby had such interesting stories. We all enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Don't Miss This Tour! November 2022

We had a private tour booked and Coby did a great job of keeping us entertained for the entire duration of the experience - in and out of the breweries. He had great knowledge of the history of both the beer, and the city itself, and the tour was much more insightful than we expected. Additionally - You will drink a ton of beer, and a very diverse selection as well. Would definitely book another tour with Coby.

Great Experience, Must Do While In Charleston July 2022

Coby is the man! We went for a bachelor party and was one of the highlights of the trip. Learned more about beer in one session than I’ve learned from plenty of experience previously, and had an amazing time for the full three or four hours, nonstop fun.

So Much Fun Drinking And Learning! May 2022

Excellent Tour! Our group took the Day Drinking Tour with Coby and were a bit worried because of our diverse ages and interests- but Wow! Coby was educational with the beer information and then morphed into more stories as the tour progressed. Every single person had fun and we were stunned how we learned having it. Highly recommended!
