Reviews
Go to the East Village and try some authentic craft beer...
Dave was an informative, entertaining host. Our tour was supposed to be 8 persons, but a party of 6 cancelled so we had the tour to ourselves. Dave provided background on how several varieties of craft beer is made, the unique history of each bar we visited, and background on the neighborhood. Spread over 3+ hours, the tour pace was perfect - basically get a tasting flight of three each stop. The establishments visited know Dave well and treat he and his tour guests first rate - you'll find the patrons are equally friendly. If you have ever visited a part of the city and could not decide among many bars and restaurants which to try, Dave gave some great recommendations, even beyond those visited. This organization is passionate about their beer and the neighborhoods they visit. We may ask Dave and Urban Oyster to put together a customized walking tour based on our family's geneaology in the city, next year. Great stuff - try it!
