Inner Circle Beer Tours

I was able to take the Belgian/France Tour 24 this year. It was my first time in Europe and ICBT made it a memorable experience. The breweries we toured were fantastic. The tour at each brewery was engaging and very interesting. If I ever have the chance to do another international beer tour, it will be through ICBT.

The 2025 Belgium/France tour was great. It was something that I wanted to do for a long time. It was nice to see and talk to people from breweries whose beers I have been drinking for ages. Everyone on the tour were super friendly. Unfortunately, this is the last Belgium tour but maybe it will like the supposed last tour of many rock groups.

Catalonia 2023 was the first ICBT for my wife and me, and it was one of the best tours we have ever been on - period.
The pace of the tour, the variety of locations, the knowledge of the guides, and access we received were just impossible to get on our own. It didn’t feel like a tour, it felt like being part of a little family exploring Catalonia.
The food, the beer, the scenery, the history - just wow. This tour made us fall in love with Spain, and we hope to join another ICBT tour around the world soon.

Went to Belgium and France with my husband and brother to celebrate their 40th birthdays. What an amazing experience! We went to some places we’d never heard of and would definitely never have considered going as they were “off the beaten path” so to speak, but man was each stop worth it! This is not your average beer tour. Each brewery warmly welcomed us and shared their passion for not only the products they make but the process by which they do it. The love of the beer is evident at every stop and the connection that ICBT has with each brewer/blender/farmer makes the whole experience so much more intimate than you would get anywhere else. Highly recommend and would absolutely go again!

We had an amazing trip to Scotland with Inner Circle Beer Tours, visiting distilleries and breweries. Distillery tours often feel repetitive because of the standardized distilling process, but ICBT selected tours that showcased unique aspects of the craft. The strong relationships that the ICBT guides have with smaller breweries provided us with exclusive experiences that we wouldn't have had otherwise. We also really appreciated cultural stops on the way. We are excited to attend the other trips they offer in the future!

Great spot to have drinks after work with a nice selection of craft beers to choose from. Loved everything we ordered, especially the Pat LaFrieda sliders were delicious. Beautiful space, with plenty of room to mingle. We played corn hole and loved that they had live music. What a gem of a place in midtown Manhattan. I can’t wait to return!

We visited New York in June and decided on a city brew tour around Brooklyn. We arrived at our meeting point half an hour early and our tour guide Dan was already there. As it was only us on the tour - bonus - we started straight away ! What a great young man. He remembered it had been my daughter’s 21st so brought her a gift. Dan was very knowledgeable about the brewing process and the breweries we visited which we would never have found without him -  hidden gems. We thoroughly loved the tour would highly recommend Dan and this company ! Sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but better late than never ! Thankyou Dan and hope you have a great wedding🥂

My friend and I were in New York on holiday and booked the Brooklyn brewery walk tour with Jonathan, having never done one before we weren’t sure what to expect, but it was a brilliant experience, just us and one other young couple were on the tour, so it felt very personal. Jonathan was informative, funny and made us feel very much at ease. I would definitely recommend this tour and when over in the USA again would book another one for sure. Thanks 😊

Jonathan was my tour guide. He was very knowledgable and definitely made the experience fun and informational. You can tell that he knew the brewing process intimately and was able to explain it in layman terms. The beer selection was varied but he made sure that you also got to taste beers in and out of your comfort zone. I highly recommend this tour.

Just saw this place while walking down 14th and popped in for a beer. Great selection of 19 beers and a cider on tap for onsite and a huge selection of canned and bottled beers for consumption on or offsite. The bartender was fantastic. Good happy hour. How is this place not packed? The bartender bites sounded good and there is a nice wine list as well.

The New York Beer and Brewery Tour

Great tour experience with Chris!! Opted for the express tour with 3 stops — this was a gift for my partner and he’s a beer drinker while I’m not. Each stop I was able to still enjoy the drinks and Chris offered a lot of insight to the breweries we visited plus local fun facts! We were the only 2 on the tour so it was a nice personal tour within the East and west villages. Thanks to Chris and the NY Beer & Brewery Team! Would highly recommend!

We had a great time on the Signature Brewery Tour with Chris. McSorley’s was a great starting point, followed by Brooklyn Brewery, Farm One Brewery, and Spicy Moon. We had great interactions with the staff at all four locations, giving us anecdotes and information about the locations, the beers, and the history of each. Perfect afternoon to check out the NYC beer scene!

We enjoyed a private tour with Marshall and I believe it was the best brewery tour in the United States!  We have taken many brewery and cocktail tours in the U.S. and Europe and Marshall made the experience the most memorable and enjoyable!  Marshall’s personality and knowledge about the history of beer and New York breweries is amazing!  We were transported from brewery to brewery in a luxury SUV.  Each brewery has  samples, unique atmosphere, and welcoming staff.  Marshall thoughtfully provided tasty snacks to complement the cold brews!  The three hour tour flew by!  On our next visit to NY, we plan to sign up for another Marshall tour!!!

The experience started at McSorley’s Old Ale House and we were greeted with two glasses of beer, the pale and dark ales, then some crackers and cheese with onions, which was delicious! The tour guide was welcoming and nice and he shared historical aspects about each spot and along our drive. It wasn’t too much information and I wanted to listen. Then we went on to Brooklyn brewery, which was another awesome location and lastly the Bronx Brewery and I was very happy with not just the amount of beer, but they gave mac and cheese bites and Fries as our snack. Overall a great tour!! Would highly recommend to anyone.

This new spot is sooo cute. The dry aged burger is fantastic! Cooked well and had a nice surprising crunch. Best burger I had in a while. The croquettes were gone as soon as the plate landed on the table.

I had a whiskey sour and it was scrumptious!

Friendly staff, and cheerful vibes. Will come back again!

UPDATE as of March of 2025:  I worked with the manager, Marta, on throwing a small birthday party for my partner and she made it incredibly easy and seamless.  Everyone had a blast and really enjoyed themselves. This really is the perfect spot for any occasion - I love sitting here solo with a book, but also love coming with a friend or two. Thank you for everything!

*Original review* Was meandering around WV and happened upon this spot. They had the absolute best happy hour! I tried the Hermanito and Espress Yaself and so delicious after a long day.

Found my way around keg and lantern in the West village and it totally reminded me there is a Keg & Lantern in red hook. It just so happens to be the red hook location is there brewery. Talk about locally brewed!... It doesn't get more local than that ... So when I walked in Cesar was bartending,he was definitely very accommodating when it came to me picking where I wanted to sit and very knowledgeable when it came to the beer selection and styles of beer they have on tap. With 23 taps in house makes for a great place to unwind and go on a beer tour. Then I had the Italian soprano a super light crushable style pilsner  beer that I immediately had to switch off of before I drank 20 of them. Cesar recommended me the Chilly Bin hopped pilsner. Not going to lie after that I had to try some food. So I chose the croquettes. Super light, airy and great to share . Then I moved on to the chicken sandwich and damn I must say it's a classic rendition of a Chicken sandwich but done right from the light breading of the chicken to the pickles and sesame seed bun, a touch that I love i can't lie. You also get a choice of salad or fries. I chose the salad for balance you know . So I must say Keg & Lantern West Village will def be a new spot in my village stomping grounds.

Brewery beers are always a good idea, and this place was no exception.
I loved that they offered small tasting flights, which made it easy to try a variety of different beers.
It was also great that you could bring in outside food.
It looked like they also have live performances at certain times, so I’d definitely love to come back and experience that next time!

We have been a loyal patron of this neighborhood gem for 4 years, and it never disappoints! The atmosphere is always lively, and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about their impressive beer selection.

The seasonal menu keeps things fresh, and this visit didn't disappoint. Standouts included the Sonic Architecture (Hazy IPA), Artifact Engine (Dark Lager), and Infernal Optimism (Smoked Porter). I love that they offer various pour sizes, perfect for sampling new brews.

No food on site, but outside eats are welcome. Plus, daily events like trivia and jazz nights keep the crowd engaged. A true community hub!

Good place for hanging out in a large group. Lots of outdoor seating for when it’s nice out. There’s an amazing selection of beer and non beer beverages, and there are multiple eateries surrounding the brewery that you can bring to eat at the tables. However, it’s quite a zoo with tons of little kids running around constantly while their parents hang out. So probably wouldn’t recommend this for a calm outing. But pretty good spot regardless. Prices are definitely reasonable for the area.

Cool brewery to check out when in LIC. Loved seeing doggos chilling inside. Tried the Chronyc, an hazy IPA, which was delicious while others ordered a few cocktails. Spacious area and good food such as buffalo wings and nachos from next door. They have a couple of board games to play and we decided to play Battleship which was fun.

We threw a February wedding at Wild East on a Sunday, with a guest count of 115, and it was absolutely perfect. Wild East has some of the best beers in Brooklyn, with consistent quality across styles, so there’s something for everyone. The space itself has the right balance of existing ambiance and opportunity to infuse your own aesthetic.

The events coordinator Casey and owner Tyler were very accommodating when it came to decorating in the space, allowing for our friends to hang a backdrop for the ceremony and decorate the bar and tables with fresh flowers, foraged pieces, and candles. The bartenders were super respectful and upbeat, working cheerfully all night long. Casey was kind, really chill, and open to ideas throughout the process; she even gave us a couple of four-packs when we came the next day to load our final boxes and cake out, which was a really sweet gesture. Casey really helped make our wedding day everything we wanted it to be, and we’re so grateful for all her coordination.

Overall, the experience was exactly what we hoped for, the Wild East team let us run with our ideas, and we were thrilled that our family and out of town friends had easy accommodations and train options nearby. Plus, they have two super cute brewery cats who oversaw the whole thing! :)

Good laid back atmosphere.  But the service killed it for me.  For a Saturday night that's not busy they really didn't give any attention.  Got the food without utensils or napkins to use.  Forgot to add Pico de gallo that she asked if we wanted in the first place.

I'm not sure why I've never been here as it's nearby and is a really cool space. Unfortunately, the draw of the space is the biggest draw. The parking can be a bit of a challenge (not sure why there is a parking attendant for like 30 parking spots in/out?). The beer selection is mid, not so many things I was interested in. But the space itself with the picnic tables and bar seating could be a really fun afternoon. We didn't try the food truck but it had a ton of options so would consider doing that. And it's a surprisingly clean space in the middle of a very clean park area. Overall, worth a try.

This is a cool little beer garden in the center of an outdoor mall. I wish they had more variety of local beer but they do have a few local beers on draft. The lady working behind the bar didn't seem to know their beer options overly well but she was friendly at least (and maybe she was new).  For being fully outdoors they could use some fans, etc. but it was 90+ degrees so I'm sure when it isn't nearly as hot it isn't an issue. Regardless it was still enjoyable and the food was delicious!

But: the hop on, hop off bus tours turned out to be the best choice for us with the kids to explore Manhattan. We bought a 48 hour package. Unfortunately no time for the upper tour (to Central Park), but we did get through the lower tour, the Circle Line sightseeing boat cruise, and what turned out to be the icing on the cake: the night tour on lower Manhattan and over to Brooklyn.

All of these are well worth the five stars. But I want to highlight the Night Tour. The fantastic driver Manny and the enthusiastic and knowledgeful guide Shelley took us through. The weather of course was on our side, with a beautiful sunset. But the route, the slow driving across Manhattan Bridge, the good stories and the insightful guiding, and the views were amazing.

So we parents enjoyed, and the kids as well. My skepticism turned into enthusiasm. And a very well deserved 5 stars!

Highly recommended! Just read carefully through the package options, so you find the best deal for you.

Had the best tour experience ever with Aaron and German!!! My sister and her boyfriend came from Florida to visit NYC for the first time ever and they loved the night tour. Aaron was the nicest and funniest tour guide ever. We learned so much from him and we felt very safe with German driving. They took us everywhere around the city. It was the best time ever !! You will not be disappointed!!!

If you’re thinking about booking a night tour — stop thinking and just do it! Dwayne and Ivan made this experience one for the books. From the moment we stepped on the bus, we were greeted with energy, laughter, and the kind of charisma that only comes from people who genuinely love what they do.

Dwayne is a master storyteller — funny, insightful, and full of local knowledge that brought the city to life in a whole new way. And Ivan? Smoothest driver in town. He navigated the route with ease, making the ride comfortable and safe while keeping the vibes alive with perfectly timed music and lights.

We saw the city sparkle from the best vantage points, learned fun facts that aren’t in the guidebooks, and laughed the entire time. It felt less like a tour and more like hanging out with two friends who know all the best secrets of the city.

This wasn’t just a sightseeing ride — it was an experience. A must-do for visitors and locals alike. Don’t miss your chance to see the city like this. Dwayne and Ivan, thank you for an epic night!

Excellent tour! Ray was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Miguel provided a safe, smooth ride. We did this tour on the evening of our first day, and it was very helpful in identifying what places we want to explore further. Amazing views also… I highly recommend it

Other Half Brewing Company

places/ChIJyXHHyfZawokRm6SBxpOHUxY/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VQMjVtZEdvNHJIWTdBRRAB

My favorite Other Half Brewing spot at NY! Surroundings are not best, maybe bit scary even haha, but totally worth to visit this taproom! Packed with bottles and merchendise! They had good stuff on taps, even some nice guest beers, like BA stout from Burial Brewing. One of my favs taproom from our trip to NY. Cheers!

places/ChIJyXHHyfZawokRm6SBxpOHUxY/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNRNUt2OFNREAE

OG OH! The best selection of collaborations and fancy guest beers (including from my town, Austin, recently). Plenty of to-go, although they don't keep it out where you can window shop. Decent merchandise selection. Smaller than other OH locations I've visited, but similarly cool vibe.

places/ChIJyXHHyfZawokRm6SBxpOHUxY/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURRckxlVFhBEAE

The taproom was a great space, and beautiful view. Enjoyed seeing the brew system right there as well! Beers were good and the pizza is ordered through QR code

places/ChIJyXHHyfZawokRm6SBxpOHUxY/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQzMVBqTXV3RRAB

Awesome spot! Other Half is known for their great IPAs so it was nice to actually visit the original brewery location. They had an incredible sour on tap as well. We ordered a few tasters so we were able to try a variety. Also noted they had a few cocktail offerings for those who might prefer cocktails over beer. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Quite a few friendly dogs too! We were there early enough in the day to snag a table, but the place was pretty busy by the time we left. They also had a grill set up for a few food offerings (hot dogs, tacos, etc). Can’t wait to visit again next time we’re in the area.

Loved this place. Great vibe, friendly staff and awesome beers. Need to buy new games though, load of bit were missing.

Milk & Hops

places/ChIJN6avE7lZwokRZrgdqFX1f6Y/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VMRDh1X1RhMTVISXlRRRAB

Such an amazing atmosphere and if you love trying new artisanal lagers or beers, this is the place to go. They also offer non/alcoholic beer, which opens options for customers. I highly recommend the highway 89 cocktail from their sister bar called Twist Bar right next door for people who enjoy a nice balanced refreshing cocktail.

Grimm Artisanal Ales

The taproom boasted an extensive selection of draft beers, including can and bottle pours. The friendly and efficient bartenders ensured that my glass was always full. I savored the hoppy beers, along with a variety of stouts and barleywines. The overall atmosphere was enjoyable, and I had the pleasure of meeting friendly people who were also enjoying their drinks and company. The pizza pie was a delightful addition to the experience. I highly recommend this place.

Grimm has been a neighborhood staple for years, serving up an unbeatable selection of craft beers for casual drinkers and die-hard Juice Heads alike. Whether you're here for a laid-back hang or to dive into the latest tap lineup, you won't be disappointed. And now, with Lala’s incredible Connecticut-style pizza in the mix, there's even more reason to stay awhile—crispy, flavorful, and downright delicious!

Grimm is a stop we make every time we make our way back to NYC. Amazing styles of beer, bomb snacks and always amazing customer service. Each time we come back, they have great new releases we can drink in house or take home. And you can’t beat the beautiful taproom. Can’t wait to be back in NYC drinking at Grimm again!

I've been a fan since the no-brick-and-mortar days! IPA lovers heaven... but there is something for everyone now!   On a recent trip last weekend, the Physica wines are amazing!! The pizza is a perfect pairing with the drinks, and the rooftop makes it all even better. A great spot for large or small get-togethers. The team is always helpful and friendly.

Came by to check out some beers I keep hearing about. An incredibly well rounded and detailed menu. So many artisanal beers to choose from. We especially loved the IPA’s especially the psychedelic gardener. Great pizza and small bites from Lalas pizzeria. Stephanie at the rooftop was AMAZING. Super informative, she gave us a bartenders choice tasting and all were incredibly delicious and different. Come check them out, highly recommended

An incredible selection of beers,  both draft and cans/bottles. The owner is very knowledgeable about what they carry. There is a simple menu of grilled cheese sandwiches and different types of dogs, but they are so good,  especially after a few aforementioned beers.  An easy way to spend an afternoon. Lots of beers that refer to cats.

places/ChIJM6gmzT5ZwokRwDBzCGH4hLI/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xKNlYwNXdNR2x4VlUxR1NGbFlWRkZSYkVoQmNXYxAB

Awesome little stop for craft beers at very affordable prices. They have a few draft options, plus an amazing collection of single cans. There is something for everyone here.  Our party tried a lot of different beers.

We were in town for a "Goose" concert at MSG, and surprisingly they had Goose playing on the radio.  So this became our official  "pre game" spot.

The staff was great and very helpful with beer suggestions. A true connoisseur of his craft.

The food menu looked really good too.  We were still full from the last stop so we didn't get any food. Definitely plan to check out a few things next time around.

places/ChIJM6gmzT5ZwokRwDBzCGH4hLI/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUN3al9IQ1F3EAE

The best lil spot near Grand Central Station. If you like Belgium or craft beer in general, this is your place. The nicest ppl and To top it off, they have a perfect grilled cheese and cherry sandwich, yummy

Now, I visited a small number of craft beer places in NYC. City beer was the only one worth going back to.

Here, you find a vast range of beers from across America and Europe. With stock from the UK, Belgium, and Germany.

What's not love..

On the taps were the amazing beers from local and afar brewers.

It's very well decorated, and I'm envious that such a bar doesn't exist near me.

This place is untapped.

If you're looking for your beer fix, this is the place for you..

My go-to spot to grab a quick bite and a refreshing beer for the past few years. This place offers a diverse selection of craft beers and chill atmosphere. From the menu, my personal favorite is their “Purgatory” grilled cheese drizzled with spicy honey and chips. Also tried the pretzels which were surprisingly delicious along with a Dijon mustard dip that paired really well. There are also cans and draft options to-go. Definitely a great place to check out.

Good selection of craft beer and a nice atmosphere in a great Harlem location. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I got to try some beers here that you can barely find anywhere else, which was a nice surprise. They also have some tasty bites, but I think it would be even better if there were more simple snack options, like salted nuts, to go along with the drinks.
Overall, a great spot to enjoy good beer and relax.

R+B IPA was a batch from May so not too fresh. Besides that the selection of beers both on tap and in cans was good especially for Harlem location (better than most places around Manhattan). Affordable. Being honest I wouldn't go there again unless I'm in the area for some reason

Live in the neighborhood but first time here and I know I’ll be back. Had an hour to kill after work and stopped by, had a great sour and the big Bavarian pretzel. The honey mustard is sweet with a nice kick. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

Other Half Brewing - Rockefeller Center Taproom

places/ChIJ56J9GJFZwokRdJwuF-USZIs/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNvMFp2QjlnRRAB

Solid brewery near Rockefeller Center! I like how it’s tucked away from tourist spots. The space is way smaller than the one in Domino Park but plenty of beer options to choose from. If you’re a hazy IPA person like me, this is your place. Most of their drafts are IPAs. Had the Cheddar and Big Citra Vibes, and the Cheddar was my preference, a bolder profile than the Big Citra Vibes. No food available but you can bring pizza from next door or any other outside food. You can also buy beer packs if you’re not planning to drink it there. Definitely a great spot to catch up with friends or go on a date!

Excellent brewery, with a convenient taproom in the middle of Manhattan. Drafts, plus cans to go. Their IPAs are well regarded, and for good reason, but don't miss their lagers.
