We had a great time with our tour guide/ chauffeur/ beer expert Coby. We were expecting flight-sized pours but were pleasantly surprised to have 9 oz glasses for each self-poured option! Don’t hesitate to book this tour- it’s a great blend of Charleston history, beer history, and social adventure.

We had a great time on our day drinking brews cruise with Coby. Coby is an outstanding tour guide, who teaches by telling intricate and very entertaining stories that will help you remember things you never thought you wanted to know about beer. We had such a great time and loved our fellow cruisers so much that we all ended up having dinner together afterwards at Henry’s. Thank you Coby for a great trip and an excellent way to kick off our weekend!

Awesome brewery tour! Coby was knowledgeable and informative. He is a registered Charleston Tour Guide and a Level 2 certified Cicerone. Great stories and great info on the local and world beer scene. Began the tour with strangers, ended with friends. Highly recommend!!
– Chris T. | Tripadvisor
If you’re looking for something to do on a rainy spring day in Charleston, I highly recommend taking this tour. Coby was a fantastic host who was full of energy, great stories about both Charleston and beer and extremely patient as the consumption increased. We really enjoyed the time spent with both old, and new friends and I hope our paths cross once again.
– John M. | Tripadvisor
This was great private tour! Coby was very knowledgeable about the area and beer making it a fun way to see Charleston. The bus picked us up & dropped us off in Isle of Palms so we didn’t have to coordinate Ubers which was a huge plus. We would definitely recommend it to a group of beer lovers or anyone wanting to have some fun (like us)!
– Katherine C. | Tripadvisor
Coby makes this tour. Came here in a bachelor's party and this was one of the highlights. Coby is tremendously knowledge on beer and chooses beers you'd never try but love. He's got stories that blow your mind.
– Jeb K. | Google
Coby was amazing! We actually did 2 tours with him… he is so knowledgeable about beer AND Charleston that you absolutely cannot go wrong with this tour. He makes you feel incredibly comfortable and was helpful. I would definitely take another tour with Coby next time I come to Charleston!! Cheers!!
– Leigh Ann B. | Tripadvisor
My party and I did the Friday Night Happy Hour tour and did we have such a great time! Coby was a super knowledgeable host and had the music queued up and ready to rock the minute we stepped on the bus. We were able to do two different breweries with excellent beer selections. We also appreciated that the tour took the guesswork out of Friday night plans! The pick up and drop off location were easy to find and centrally located. I would highly recommend booking this tour!
– Maureen H. | Tripadvisor
I did the day drinking tour with a group of girlfriends, and we all had a great time. Coby is so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. We got to try a super wide variety of beers. Highly recommend!

I booked a private Happy Hour Brews Cruise tour for a bachelorette party, and Coby showed us such a wonderful time! We learned, laughed, drank (😆), and SANG a lot. So much fun, 10/10 on the playlist too! Thanks for taking great care of us, Coby! We’ll be telling our friends how much fun it was.

Coby was a great tour guide He had an amazing balance between learning the history of brewing along with mixing in fun to make it an easy process to follow. We had a variety of ages in our group. Coby was very entertaining and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Charleston!

My friend's and I were visiting Charleston for a girl's trip and found this brewery tour through Google and man are we so happy we booked this one! Coby was absolutely amazing and insanely knowledgeable! He made the tour so much fun for us! I highly recommend booking your tour with Coby, he will not disappoint!

Went with my parent, sister, and significant others and it was phenomenal. I don’t enjoy beer, but I enjoyed everything we tried. Highly recommend
– Haley H. | Google
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.

Coby Glass was an absolute gentleman and scholar. His knowledge of beer was tremendous and he kept the group entertained and lively. Beer, history, and the company of great human....what else can you ask for!
– John G. | TripAdvisor
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.

Coby is the best tour guide in Charleston, very friendly and kept the tour entertaining. If you are a beer consumer then Coby's wealth of hops knowledge is for you. Will be doing this tour again with family and friends.
– Mike | TripAdvisor
Spent 4 days in Charleston and this was the highlight of our visit. Coby was outstanding! He's extremely knowledgeable and provided information in a fun and interesting way. I learned more than I knew I needed to know about beer. Highly recommend you spend an afternoon with him on the tour.
– David S. | TripAdvisor
Was a great experience the tour guide Alex was amazing and had great on the breweries, the beer, and the city! Highly recommended for a group looking for a good time!

Coby is the Best! We had so much fun drinking and getting great stories! From the 12 different beers to the tunes on the Cruiser this was 4 hours of the most fun we had in Charleston!
– Ana B. | TripAdvisor
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.
