Austin Brewery Tour with Live Band: Three Stops & Music

A live band rides the bus between three Austin breweries.

The Brew Bus is a 3.5-hour brewery tour in Austin where a live band performs on board as you visit three local craft breweries, sample included beer at each stop, and eat a small meal from a food truck. The tour runs with a local guide who talks through the beer scene, and you can bring your own beer or wine (six-pack sized coolers only). Minimum age is 21.

The experience

The Brew Bus pulls together three things most brewery tours keep separate: the breweries themselves, live music, and the people you came with. A local band rides on the Twisted bus the whole time, playing as you move between stops. At each of the three breweries, beer is poured and included in your ticket. The guide walks through what's on tap and how the local craft scene works. Halfway through, a food truck pulls up onsite with a small meal.

The whole thing runs 3.5 hours, which leaves the rest of your day open. You can bring your own beer or wine to drink on the bus (coolers must be six-pack sized or smaller), and the bus itself is BYOB-friendly, no hard liquor. The guide handles the route and the timing. Brewery locations vary, so you won't know which three until you board. This is a public tour, so you'll be riding with other groups, though you can call to ask about private bookings.
