Step by Step
On this original experience you'll travel through Chicago in a barrel-shaped bus where you 'll taste various types of beer in craft breweries. The "Windy City" is one of the American cities where beer has become most famous.
Thanks to the explanations of a professional expert guide, who will provide you with interesting information about the influence of beer in Chicago, you will live an immersive adventure where you will not only taste different types of beer, but you will also travel inside a barrel with other beer enthusiasts.
Beer's influence on Chicago was sparked by a fire in 1871. Until that year, the industry was based on agriculture, but later on, the focus on beer increased dramatically. The love of its inhabitants reached such a point that today there are more than 50 pub and brewery options throughout the city.
Prohibition in the 1920s was not an impediment to the continuation of brewing beer, so, under a façade of legal shops and premises, they brewed and sold this drink clandestinely. As a result of the locals' passion for this frothy brew and hard work in this sector, very old traditional breweries such as The Green Door Tavern still exist.
In this city they have always dared with delicate and extravagant flavours in their beers and this has allowed the creation of some of the beers that you can taste, such as Dovetail Helles, Metropolitan Flywheel or Begyle Blonde Ale.
