The experience

The tour picks you up and drops you back at your hotel, so you skip the logistics of finding three separate breweries across Memphis. You'll spend the afternoon moving between Grind City Brewing (housed in a refurbished 1920s furniture factory on the Mississippi bluffs) WISEACRE, founded by brothers Davin and Kellan Bartosch, and Crosstown Brewing, which sits next to the renovated Crosstown Concourse. Each stop is a working brewery, not a museum, and the guide walks you through what's happening in the tanks and why the beer tastes the way it does.

You taste up to 12 samples across the three stops, paired with a fresh-baked snack. The guide is a local beer expert who knows the story behind each brewery: Grind City's partnership with St. Jude and other Memphis charities, WISEACRE's quest for top-quality, uniquely flavorful beer, Crosstown's role in revitalizing the neighborhood. The group stays small, capped at 12 people, so you're not herded through in a crowd. An air-conditioned vehicle handles the transport between stops, and bottled water is provided throughout.

The whole experience runs 3.5 hours, which is long enough to linger at each brewery and short enough to fit into an afternoon. You need to be 21 or older to book, and the tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers. Service animals are welcome.
