Denver Brews Cruise

More than 200 beers are crafted in Denver daily, and there are more than 50 brewpubs and breweries in the area, so exploring local pubs and tasting rooms provides the true flavor of the city. Beer aficionado “Captain Brent” Scheiwe is the owner/operator of Denver Brews Cruise. He has solid relationships with several breweries and has crafted a tour that includes not only generous samplings but also behind-the-scenes peaks at the brewery process. Tours accommodate just four to 12 participants, making it a VIP-like experience. Currently on the tour schedule are Breckenridge Brewery, Strange Craft Brew Company, Wits End Brewing Company, Black Sky Brewery and Renegade Brewing. For those who aren't full-on beer lovers, Colorado Cider Company, which produces fresh, local hard cider, offers a different taste treat. Tour price: $42 per person.
