    Tour is donation only, you get to taste 3 beers, and keep the glass. Go to Doyles afterward and ride the troll -Quiet the experience!!

    Sometimes the tour gets a bit dry. You could say I gave the yeast amount of f*cks possible about ingredients.

    Tours are free. The trolley to Doyle's is the way to go post-tour!

    A FREE tour with three FREE beers at the end. A donation isn’t mandatory, but would only make sense in return for such generosity.

    Do not drink from the pitcher unless you want to be kicked out... And the excuse, "good to the last drop" isn't a valid reason either. Oops :)

    They don't sell production beer! That is, you can't buy a case of beer, just growlers.

    Stand towards the back when they are explaining the brewing process. It means you get into the tasting room first. (via Scoville) Read more
