Brewery Tours of Indianapolis

Did this tour for my birthday & had an ok experience. Driver was 15 – 20 min late and we were told the time would be made up, it wasn’t. The brewery’s were completely different than what our schedule had said. It felt rushed and unorganized. I had fun being w friends but wouldn’t recommend this specific Company/​Brewbus to others. Kinda wish I would have checked out Indy Brew Bus, but now I know.

One word: Communication.
We booked this tour for a friends birthday on a Saturday. We arrived at 4:00 at three Wisemen as we were instructed to do, and no bus to be found! We waited and waited, time kept going by… We called every number listed for this place which stated it was open and continued to get the voicemail.
Finally, at 4:21, the bus pulls up. We get on, and the driver quickly says she thought the pick up was downtown and is sorry. That’s it? Why couldn’t she have called us and let us know, or even called Three Wisemen and had them relay the message?
Oh well, we are off. We arrive at the first brewery and are give no instruction on what to expect from her. Oh well, Bier took over from there and it was great.
Another complaint of how many people were on this bus. We were a large group– 12 of us. In my opinion we should have gotten the bus to ourselves instead of squeezing another group of 6 on there.
If I were just rating the breweries it would be a different story. The samples and beers were delightful.
End of story: do the brew bus tour instead of this one. The driver and company is all around way better.

Awful experience overall. Not as advertised.
I booked my boyfriends 30 th birthday party and bought 20 tickets. The bus driver Justin talked to us like we were convicted criminals or misbehaving children. We were not allowed allowed to play music «because the last people abused it.» We were told to get on the bus 10 min before we departed each location so were forced to sit on the quiet bus instead of enjoying our time in each brewery.
Our group was large but very well mannered and extremely respectful. We had planned on tipping our driver $ 100 at the end of the night but couldn’t stand to tip someone who treated us so poorly.
To top it off, half of our group wished to return after the tour was over and half didn’t. Justin kicked everyone off the bus and told us he had to go. Another driver from the same company caught wind of the problem and offered to take anyone in our group back to the designated location. Very disappointed we wasted our time and money.

Did this tour w/​two girlfiends (all in our 40s) on a Fri afternoon, only 5 of us on the bus. They could have canceled in light of that, but took us anyway.
Neat thing to do for any age beer drinker (even if the bus isn’t full — make your own fun!). Rosie was our driver, she was super cool, friendly and a great sport all around. The bus is very nice, clean and comfortable, complete with a few tables w/​drinkholders. Good way to try some new beers and check out the tasting rooms. Free samples and worth your $ 30 for a few hours of fun!

Had a blast with Rosie on the tour! The bus was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely return!

Great bus! Rosie is a fun driver. The seats are cushy and the AC keeps you cool between breweries. There’s a big old U shaped couch at the back of our bus that seats up to 8 or 9. This bus seats 21 and I’ve seen bigger ones around town. Fun way to kick off a bachelor party and meet new people who also like beer!

My husband and I went on the southside tour with two other couples and I would say that due to the driver, our tour was really 2.5 stars. We loved the breweries and the bus was a lot nicer than I expected so the company gets it right on there. Loved the Scotty’s pick up, too.
The big complaint… Our driver was RUDE! She seemed to be trying for a sassy 1950’s waitress tough love attitude, but for $ 60 for us to go on the trip — NO THANKS. From the moment we got there she wouldn’t let us on the bus in in the pouring rain, then yelled at me to get on the bus because it was raining. She yelled at three different people at various times and had a generally snippy attitude.
Someone asked her why she has this attitude she said she has to be firm to deal with drunk people. That is somewhat legitimate if anyone on the bus was actually drunk or acting drunk. She was nasty and rude to the staff at taxman brewery and it was plain embarrassing. I’m not sure if she’s new because this appears to be a newer tour, but I wish they would address it because if not for the driver my experience would be a five star but it ended up being a bit of a let down. May try again but will probably schedule with Indy Brew Bus.

Not sure about this one. Thought we were actually going to learn something about the Indy craft brewing industry and check out some good beer at the same time. Unfortunately this turns out to be a regular pub crawl instead. I suppose it’s a good one if that’s what you are looking for.

My cousin and I went on the bus last night and had so much fun! I had gone on another one in the area and this is by far the best. The bus is extremely nice with tables, cup holders, and chairs that face each other and were very plush. Randy, the owner, was amazing, helpful and unfazed by the inevitable drunk acts that would ensue. The driver, Rosie, kept the bus steady and smooth and had the best outfit. And at the end of the tour, you get awesome swag– pint glass, koozie, and stickers. We just had the best time! I highly recommend this company– great experience!!!

My wife got us a tour and they are very friendly and tolerant of the intoxicated. Would do it again in a heartbeat. And will in a few weeks.

Randy and «silent randy» were great. Would def do again in back in the city!!! A must do for any out of towner!

My wife got us and a few friends tickets for my 30^th birthday and we had a BLAST. The 2 Randys (Silent Randy the driver, and Owner Randy) were awesome hosts. The bus itself was very clean and spacious with water and cups available. There are coolers to keep your growlers in during the trip (and of course you can drink them during your drive to the next brewery!) Randy played some great music to keep the party rolling and will allow you to plug in your iPod and play your own tunes. We went to Flat 12, Bier, Indianapolis City, and Fountain Square breweries. The swag bag that you get at the end of your tour is great as well! Any beer drinker needs more pint glasses, more koozies, and more coasters! Thanks to the Randys for a great trip! We will definately be back!
