Can I visit your Tasting Room without taking a tour?
Unfortunately, no, but our Gift Shop is open seven days a week from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
I tried to visit last year and you were booked months in advance, now I can just walk in?
That's right! Free brewery tours are now offered seven days a week on a no-reservation, first-come, first-served basis. For more information or to view the tour schedule, please visit our tour info page.
Do you have to be 21 to take a tour?
Minors are welcome on our Public and Private Group tours, but must wait until they're 21 for our Unfiltered Tour. Samples are of course not made available to our underage visitors. We ask that parents of our youngest guests keep a close eye on their little ones; the brewery utilizes industrial equipment, chemicals, glass, hoses, and other materials that can be hazardous to wandering hands and feet. Strollers are not permitted on the tour.
How much does it cost to take a tour?
Our year-round public tours are absolutely free! Tickets for The Unfiltered Tour are $20 per person. Private Group Tours may be arranged for $10 per person, with a $250 minimum.
What beers will you have on tap?
A wide selection of year-round core brands, along with our current seasonal offering, are always available. Occasionally we'll feature test beers or special Smokestack brews as well.
Do I need to bring anything with me, or dress in a particular way?
If you’re planning on sampling beer at the end of your tour, please bring a photo I.D. We also encourage visitors to wear closed-toe shoes. Click here for specific requirements for the Unfiltered Tour.
Is the tour handicap accessible?
Certain parts of the brewery are not accessible to individuals in wheelchairs or those who have difficulty walking or climbing stairs, but we will gladly guide guests through areas that are available to them.
