Experience, insight, and expertise. All of our tours are led by Cicerone®-trained guides, experts in all things craft beer, spirits, cider, and mead. We attempt to pull back the curtain on the mystery of craft brewing, taking you behind the scenes of some of Southeast Michigan's best breweries, distilleries, and meaderies. From learning the basic terminology necessary to navigate the modern craft beverage menu, to sampling the raw ingredients that each brewer uses to ply their craft, our goal is to educate and entertain our guests, inspiring them to venture outside of their comfort zone when it comes to experiencing craft beverages.

The word Cicerone (sis-uh-rohn) designates hospitality professionals with proven experience in selecting, acquiring, and serving today's wide range of beers. To claim the title of Cicerone, one must earn the trademarked title of Certified Cicerone® or hold higher certification as Advanced Cicerone™ or Master Cicerone®. Those with a basic level of expertise gain recognition by earning the first-level title Certified Beer Server.

We recommend that you take a bus, a cab, a Lyft, an Uber, the QLine, bike, or walk to the registration location for each tour rather than drive. If drive you must, a designated driver is always the smart move. Please keep in mind that the beverages you will be sampling may be of a higher alcohol content than you're used to. You can always pass on a sample at any time if so inclined. Please drink responsibly and have a fun and safe tour!
