Charleston Brews Cruise

Brent did a nice excellent job. Friendly, knowledgeable and accomodating. Knows his beer. We had a lot of beer sampling. Bus was comfortable, had ac and cold water. Only minor suggestion would be to offer food/​lunch at 1^st or 2^nd stop instead of last. Put some food in your gut before the tour starts as the samples are generous. Good time!

Great tour and awesome beer! My husband and I did the tour on a quick get away and had a great time! Brent was super informative and made everyone feel so welcome! Definitely recommend!

Literally best tour ever, if you’re thinking about doing it, just do it. Brent was an awesome guide and just knew how to have fun with everyone. I suggest being extroverted and open, if you aren’t already you will be at the end of the tour. We all ended up having lunch together after the tour was over because we had so much fun. Money very well spent. My only regret is not having cash to tip Brent.

So much fun on our Brews Cruise. The guides were informative and receptive to suggestions. I totally want to do a distillery tour with these guys.

Great way to visit the local breweries and try new beer. Had a great time with two great tour guides and historians. Very informative on how beers are made and the breweries started. Will definitely go again and recommend to anyone wanting to try good craft beers and see what breweries are in town.

This was a great experience! This was my second time on the tour. I highly recommend it whether you are from Charleston or here to visit. My most recent tour took my group of 9 to 3 brewery’s; frothy beard, holy city, and revelry. Tour guides work closely with the brewery’s and are full of information.

Best time ever! I felt like a vacationer in my own town. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us the inside connection. Highly recommend.

Brent does a wonderful job in making the newbies all the way to the experience craftsman happy on these tours. I feel very knowledgeable able my craft beers and he still has something different to add :)
I would highly recommend this tour!!!

We did this for our first Valentine’s day. We had a BLAST! Brent is really knowledge and fun. It was interesting hearing how the craft beer started in Charleston. This is a great date or group adventure. I would do it again! Thanks Brent!!!

We had a great time on the beer tour! Brent was very knowledgeable, professional, and just awesome!!! :) You get a lot more beer than you would think and in fact, we all started getting a buzz after a couple of samples. Brent also supplies free water and pretzels which was very generous of him. We had a really good time and it was a fun thing to do especially if you like to try new beers! It was well worth the price and exceeded our expectations.
Thank you! :)

My girlfriends and I came for a bachelorette party and Brent was amazing! Not only did he know so much about the breweries, but he kept a close eye on the level our beer glasses and kept us full accordingly. He was incredibly knowledgeable and so much fun! He came prepared with snacks and water, keeping us appropriately full and hydrated. He let us socialize amounts ourselves and was honestly the best. BOOK THIS TOUR, even if you were originally looking for a boat cruise.

This tour was awesome! Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. The beer was amazing and atmosphere was relaxed. Live music at Palmetto and Holy City. Highly recommended! We will be back next summer :)

My husband and I had a great afternoon on the brews cruise. We went to Westbrook, Holy City and Coast breweries. All the beers were tasty. The best part of the afternoon was Brent, the owner/​tour guide/​beertender extraordinaire. I highly recommend this tour!

Brent was very knowledgeable and friendly, and so was his other driver. We had a larger group, and everything was well-​coordinated and relaxed! The tour bus was clean (brand new), snacks were provided, and he played really good music (not just today’s top hits). We thoroughly enjoyed the tastings and learning about the different brewing processes. Highly recommend Charleston Brews Cruise!

Loved going on the Saturday Brews Cruise! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the breweries and their brew processes. It was laid back and a fun way to spend the afternoon. I’d highly recommend Brews Cruise!

We had a great time. The guide was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Plenty of great beer and fun!

I recently visited Charleston for a week long vacation with my boyfriend and his family, and a friend recommended the Brews Cruise. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I knew it involved lots of beer — so it was clearly a no-​brainer.
We began our day with Brent, our tour guide and beer aficionado. From the moment we got into the Brews Cruise mobile, I knew we were set up for a successful day. Not only did Brent know everything there is to know about beer, he also knew how to make us laugh and hold an engaging conversation. Super easy-​going and funny, he was the perfect person to take us through sip after sip of newfound beer flavors.
What’s more, we made the mistake of not eating beforehand, and we all know this equation: no eating + lots of beer = (something bad). Brent was courteous enough to bring us crackers to fill us up and THEN stopped at a Chick-​fil-​a mid route. Mostly because it was the nice thing to do, partly because he didn’t want to carry anyone home. He also shared a hidden prop with us — a sweatband mullet. Yes, a sweatband with a mullet attached to the back of it that we all took turns wearing — because sweatband mullets are awesome.
All in all a great experience. Three different breweries, multiple new flavors, unlimited knowledge, a few growler souvenirs, and an awesome guide. Thanks Brent and Brews Cruise!

This was the first activity planned when a group of us went down to Charleston this past weekend for a bachelorette party & it was easily my favorite thing we did!
Brent was awesome & from the moment we walked up I could tell from his laid back nature & sense of humor that we were going to have a blast. It was just the 7 gals from my group and another couple who we quickly bonded with over brews.
The tour itself is super fun riding around in the shuttle to the different breweries, each different in a great way. Brent is very knowledgeable in the brews & the samples were on the heavy side for sure. I can’t believe that this tour was as affordable as it was!
I would definitely recommend this tour if you’re a lover of beer & good times.

Purchased a gc for my boyfriend as he is a beer enthusiast, and we finally decided to use it. It was the day after thanksgiving, and we were surprised the business was open, but soooo glad that it was. We met at Southend, which to be honest, has never been a favorite food place of mine, so I have never tried the beer there until now. Brent was fabulous, he explained the brewery process as well as the local and state laws here in SC. It was quite an eye opener. We now know why so many great breweries are popping up everywhere!!!
From Southends generous tasting, we all hopped on the bus and went to Westbrook Brewery in Mt. Pleasant. WOW. He has connections there and we were allowed in before the place opened — talk about ‘the treatment’ wooohooo!!! The classiest brewery I have ever seen! and again — Brent knew his stuff. I learned so much about why certain brews are called an IPA, or why some are heavier than others, and surprisingly enough, why cans are actually better than bottles. (what!!! what!!!) We got to walk around the brewery and see start to finish how things work there. the tasting were FANTABULOUS !!! seriously. I found my new favorite beer there at Westbrook, if it hadn’t been for Brents Brew Cruise taking us there and explaining the process, I KNOW I would have never tried it.
Third and final stop — Holy City. By this time, everyone has started talking to everyone on the bus from brewery to brewery. Making new friends, and eating the generous helping of goldfish (LOVE THEM!!!) that Brent gives you as a snack. Holy City rocked, it was a Friday so they had a live band, and while we stayed in our normal 3 – 4 flights of beers for tasting, we were allowed to ask for something different, and Brent made sure to get close to what we preferred — and suggested some different ones to try.
The whole touring was from about 145 –6ish? it was a few hours, but honestly; Its worth the $$ and the time. I cant think of a better way to spend an afternoon. We made some new friends on the cruise, hung out with them for a few more hours that night and kept in touch with. Brent is AWESOME. so knowledgeable about all that is breweries. We walked away feeling like we had a great history lesson, learned way more than ever on the different brews, and tasted some awesome new beers. Brent does tour many different breweries than the ones I mentioned we went to, our new years resolution is to try them all at some point this year — via the Brews Cruise of course!!!

Awesome. Amazing. Can’t wait to do it again. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about all the breweries we visited, personable, and had a great sense of humor. I have been looking for an excuse to see some of the breweries in Charleston without having to do all the driving myself, and this was the perfect solution.
The trip is more than worth it, considering you are getting a very personalized tour of three breweries and don’t have to do any driving. Brent also made everything so convenient for us. He takes credit cards/​payment when you arrive, has bottled water, a huge cooler, and snacks for the ride in the van. What’s not to love?
