How to Book a Group Tour

  1. Choose your brewery (see recommendations above)
  2. Call directly — most don’t accept large groups through online systems
  3. Specify your needs: date, group size, dietary restrictions, transportation
  4. Confirm deposit & cancellation policy (typically 50% non-refundable)
  5. Coordinate logistics: parking, arrival time, designated contact person

Pro Tips from Michael Thompson

"For bachelor parties, Tröegs offers a ‘Hoppy Hour’ add-on with games and extra pours. Corporate groups love Sierra Nevada’s sustainability focus—it’s a great team-building angle. Always assign one person as the group contact to streamline communication. And never book through third-party ‘party bus’ companies unless they’re officially partnered with the brewery—many overcharge and offer poor service."
