Before the tour started, someone shouted “Did you grab two beers!?” – I was initially confused thinking we were required to order two, but it actually meant “You’ve got two arms, so you can carry two beers during the tour.” The humor of the staff had me laughing. Watching the beer actively bubbling during fermentation up close was an incredible experience for any beer lover.
