What a fun weekend we had! Booked this for the financé's birthday and we had a blast. The choice of breweries were great and the recommendations for after the tour were pretty awesome too! There were complementarity water and snacks during the tour (provided by the tour). Kelly was our tour guide and she was pretty cool and patient with the drunkies. I would definitely do this again!

This outfit does a solid job of presenting the local Richmond breweries! These guys are true advocates of the Richmond beer scene and a great community asset.

The concept is amazing; their delivery: leaves much to be desired. Upon arriving 3 mins before their 4:15pm start time, we walked into the downstairs of Capital to see the rest of the tour folks taking a drink of the 2nd beer sample. I politely ask the tour guide, "What beers were sampled today?" His response was a look of confusion, and he didn't know the beers that were sampled. Better yet, we were not even offered the samples. Strike 1. Everything seemed a little disorganized and that was made evident when the owner, not giving the tour this past Saturday, asks "Who hasn't purchased tickets yet?" We were immediately looked at and given the look, you're not going on the tour because you walked in last; regardless of the fact that we purchased our tickets over a month beforehand. Evidently, the company could not count the number of people on their own tour list to see that we had 2 people too many. A couple that was there on their anniversary date were asked/told they would not be going and they would be given an extra two tickets. Strike 2. Upon getting on the bus and rolling over to Legends the group we were with was a solid group. We were all joking and having a good time. At Legends everything was a little chaotic and not organized at all (definitely not a shock after our start). It was nothing beyond the standard Legend flight, that was poured and half the time the tour guide pouring didn't know what was in the pitcher (Pale or IPA, he did not know). Really? Also, we were told nothing about the beers that were being poured, were given no tour or description how they brew there, nothing. Strike 3. Next up was Midnight Brewery. We arrive and find out there is some beer festival going on; interesting. We get inside and the guide has no idea what is going on. 5-10 mins later he walks around and hands us all a $5 beer coupon and says, "They are not doing samples due to the event." Ok. So my group and myself proceed up to the pouring area and talk to the bartender. Super nice and points out that most of the small brewery owners were there hanging out. So, the bartender knows more than our guide, awesome! We get introduced to the owner and was ask him to give us a tour. He was very welcoming and then introduced us to Neil Burton, the founder of Strangeways (where we were heading next). A huge thumbs ups for Midnight! Tour company: strike 4. We get to Strangeways and everything was. . . . unorganized/chaotic. Surprised? Me either. They give us a few samples to taste, and were nice. We again, heard nothing about their brewing process, did not see the brewing room, nothing. The beer was tasty, no question. Strike 5. This tour needs a major overhaul for it to be worth it. At $65 a ticket, this was one of the biggest wastes of $130 we had spent on a night out ever. I'm not one to bash a company, but for the 3 places we went (I'm not counting Capital since we didn't get any samples there) we could have gone and asked for a tour, had a few samples and spent half what we did.

Thank you for taking part in Richmond Brewery Tours and the helpful feedback you provided on Yelp. I'm glad you agree the concept is amazing and most all our past participants would agree. I sincerely apologize you took part in what was by far the perfect storm of the least desirable tour we've ever conducted and I take full responsibility for your experience. To provide some background, our company is in its infancy and approaching 5 months in operation. We are constantly working to refine our product and services offered. For example we launched an online booking system for our customers a few weeks before your online purchase. A new system I blame my user error on the overbooking which occurred on your tour. (First and last time it will happen). Your tour guide was a new employee conducting his first public tour, which is why I was present in the background to take notes on his service. Our tour guides preparation, customer service and inability to take leadership at each of the breweries has been given immediate attention. To summarize our services, Richmond Brewery Tours gives you the opportunity to experience the beers, atmosphere and culture of each individual brewery visited. We provide a background on beer, factoids on Richmond's past and current beer scene, snacks and water on the bus, one behind the scenes brewery tour (dependent on staff availability) and arrive back safely departing with a Richmond Brewery Tour souvenir. You obviously did not receive the summary of our services. I hope you'll give Richmond Brewery Tours a second chance and provide us with the same constructive feedback. Thanks again for your comments. Sincerely, Tommy Founder, Richmond Brewery Tours

We did the tour July 10th with Collin and had an awesome time seeing Capital Ale House, Strangebrews, and Arden. The company was friendly, the breweries interesting, and Collin was exceptionally informative and attentive. Kudos to that man for really going above and beyond. I would definitely repeat the experience and recommend this trip to my friends.

What a fun night!!! I rented the Richmond Brewery Tour bus for my boyfriend's birthday and we had a blast! Tommy was great to work with and our driver Jay was both informative and a ton of fun..(maybe I should mention patient and tolerable as well!! )We started off at COTU with a tasty, generous tasting and little history of the brewery in a private room in the back. We then headed to Hardywood for another generous tasting and private tour then over to Isley for more personal attention and more beer! We are all still talking about the great time we had on the brewery tour. I would HOP on Board again anytime!!

I bought tickets for this tour as part of my sister's bachelorette party. We had so much fun and I couldn't believe what an amazing deal it was! We went to Triple Crossings, Hardywood and Strangeways. The beer was delicious and our guides were knowledgable. Bartenders at the three spots also answered questions although Hardywood was slammed due to food truck Thursdays. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone and am looking for another excuse to go again!!

Photo of Ashley E.

Had a great time! Tommy, our tour guide was great! We actually got to tour two breweries which was very exciting and all of the breweries were so passionate about the beer and excited to show us around. We had a private group of eleven people and everyone in the group thought it was amazing!

My wife and I spent this past weekend in Richmond and booked a tour online. We received no confirmation and began to get nervous when the day of the tour arrived and we still had no idea if our tour payment was received. We decided to send an email and call RVA Brewery Tours to confirm but only got voicemail with no returned call. We decided to assume our tour was good to go and arrived at Capital Ale House at 400pm. Upon arrival the Capital Ale House staff told us to stand to the side and wait for the tour guide to arrive. After 5-10 minutes of standing around we found out that the rest of the tour group was downstairs and proceeded to meet up with them. (You would think with 4-5 tours given per week the capital ale house staff could have given us this information rather than give us this blank stare upon our arrival). As for the remainder of the evening, it went great. Jay, the tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great personality. The beers were very good and overall we had a great experience.

Photo of Brett H.

This was my first time on the official Richmond Brewery Tour. I didn't quite know what to expect. We arrived at Capital Ale House and met up with the rest of the group. Our guide gave us a brief history of beer and let us know our schedule for the evening. We visited Strangeways, Isley and Hardywood. Each stop included three or four tastings each. Our guide, as well as the staff at each brewery, were friendly and informative, as well as very accommodating. There was water and snacks available on the bus. We got to hook up our phone to the stereo so we could pick our own music to listen to on the trip. There was even some trivia from the guide with prizes on the way. When we stopped at Hardywood we were lucky enough to have the head brewer give us an in depth tour of the facility so that was a nice bonus. We were unable to tour the complete brewing process at the others but were still able to enjoy the great beers and even some live music. I would recommend this tour if you are interested in tasting the beer bounty of Richmond without having to worry about driving, while also receiving some inside information on the city's great beers. I hope to take another tour and visit some of the other new breweries. I heard that this tour also visits Licking Hole, Midnight, and COTU upon request. Also Triple Crossing and Ardent Craft Ales will be offered soon as well. All the more reason for me to get back on board. Cheers!

Apparently, things have gotten better. We all met up at Capital Ale House on a busy night.. The staff laid out the tour and gave us two high- gravity beers to get going. From there we loaded up the bus with beers and headed over to Legend. The flight was diverse (lager, brown, pilsner, IPA, and hopfest) our server ran down the descriptions and we order up some food. From there we headed to Strangeways and were greeted by a lovely bartender duo of Allison and Cheyenne (sp?). The beers were awesome and we got a behind the scenes look at the operation and brewing process. Feeling good, our Tour headed to Hardywood. It happened to be a huge night for them in releasing the ginger bread stout and our groups received a flight of beers and the ability to purchase the coveted gingerbread stout while the public waited In line for hours to receive their stout. Our guide was informative and fun and we finished the night back at capital ale. Overall we took home a set of growlers and some good stories. Thanks for the good times!
