Good beer, good times!
One of the best and funnest tours I have been on. Gus was super cool. Because it was just my partner and I, it got kind of tailored to our likes, which was great! We tried so many different beers in Ballard and I know that only scratched the surface of what that area had to offer.

Tasty craft brews in Ballard
Gus was a great guide for this craft beer tour. He was very attentive and asked our preferences to make sure he chose a variety of brews we would like. He also encouraged us to stretch our palates to try some new and different tastes. One of us is not a beer drinker so he included ciders and seltzers that were refreshing.
