★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 673 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $58Our pick

Taste 10-plus Colorado beers at four LoDo breweries, learn Denver brewing history, and walk the city with a small, friendly group.

“Sara was a great guide with unbelievable background knowledge. She was interesting and got the entire group to engage (even with people we were not traveling with). Only wish that beer selections were more unique as we sampled some beers that I can buy in a grocery store in my home state. I wish we focused on beer I cannot buy at home. However, her ability to find samples for everyone was outstanding. Prior to the tour I sent a couple messages regarding inquiries on parking and never got a response (months prior and day prior). Wish whoever reviewed those would have responded to assist.”
