First Brewery Tour? Here's What to Expect with Marquette Brew Tours
Booking your first brewery tour is exciting, but it's also normal to have a few questions before the day arrives.
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party, visiting Marquette for the weekend, or simply looking for a fun way to explore the area, here's everything you need to know before hopping aboard Marquette Brew Tours.
How long is a Marquette brewery tour?
Most Marquette Brew Tours last 4 to 5 hours, depending on the route, the number of stops, and your group's pace.
There's no need to rush. We build in plenty of time to enjoy each stop, sample local craft beverages, take photos, and simply enjoy the experience with your group.
Which breweries will we visit?
We rotate between some of Marquette's favorite breweries and taprooms, so every tour offers something a little different.
Depending on your tour, you may visit a mix of well-known local favorites and smaller hidden gems. If your group has a brewery you'd especially like to visit, let us know when booking and we'll do our best to accommodate your request.
Our goal isn't just to visit breweries—it's to showcase some of the best places that make Marquette unique.
What should I bring on the tour?
For the best experience, bring:
A valid photo ID (all guests must be 21 or older)
Comfortable clothing and shoes
Weather-appropriate layers
Snacks
Your favorite beverages (BYOB is welcome)
Unlike many brewery tours, you're welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks on the bus, making the ride between stops just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves.
Should I worry about the weather?
Not at all.
We operate tours rain, snow, or shine. After all, this is Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
You'll spend short periods outside while walking into each brewery, but you'll stay comfortable aboard our heated or air-conditioned bus between stops. Just dress for the season, and we'll take care of the rest.
