What's NOT included in your tours?
Does the tour cost include gratuity for waitstaff?
Yes. Michigan Brew Tours tips a minimum of 18% of the bar bill before tax at each tour stop. However, if the service is exceptional, guests are encouraged to leave additional gratuity.
How do I get to the tour starting location?
We recommend that you take a bus, a cab, a Lyft, an Uber, the QLine, bike, or walk to the registration location for each tour rather than drive. If drive you must, a designated driver is always a smart move. Please keep in mind that the beverages you will be sampling may be of a higher alcohol content than you're used to. You can always pass on a sample at any time if so inclined. Please drink responsibly and have a fun and safe tour!
