About Louisville Brew Bus
Louisville Brew Bus is a guided brewery tour company on West Liberty Street. It is not a taproom. Guests ride a bus to local breweries and taste beer at each stop, and the company says it is Louisville's original and premier craft brewery tasting tour.
The public Louisville Ale Trail tour leaves from Gordon Biersch at 4th Street Live and returns to the same spot. A guide takes each group in and out of the breweries, with trivia, prizes and local brewing history along the way. The four brewery tour includes about 70 to 80 ounces of beer samples.
Private tours are built around the group. You choose the time frame, the stops and the size, and the crew can pick you up at your property. Founder Mike Stokes started the company to promote local craft beer in Louisville.

Before you visit Louisville Brew Bus
Book ahead on lousbrewbus.com. Walk-ups are welcome, but the public tour sells out often. If a tour does not get enough bookings, the company cancels it and offers a full refund or a voucher.
Bring ID, because it is checked at the door. Tips go to your guide, who splits them with the driver. Bad weather means a rain check for another date.
