Question - What kind of bus will we be traveling on?

Answer - Motor City Brew Tours uses "The Night Move" biodiesel fueled bus.  This 28-30 passenger bus is locally owned and operated by The Night Move LLC in Ferndale Michigan. Check them out at www.thenightmove.com

Question - What should I bring with me on the tour?

Answer - All you need is yourself. While no additional purchases are required, we encourage you to purchase beer from our breweries while you are on the tour. Motor City Brew Tours will provide a cooler for keeping the beer cold on the bus. All of the breweries we visit will be offering beer in growlers and six packs (if available) to go. We ask you to not bring any alcohol onto the bus that wasn’t purchased from our tour stops. Motor City Brew Tours follows all state of Michigan liquor/consumption laws.  Participants must be 21 years old to consume alcoholic beverages on the tours.

Question - Will you feed me on this tour?

Answer - Yes! Light lunch at one of the brewery stops is included in the ticket price and water and snacks will be provided on the bus. 

Question - Where do the tours begin and where should I park?

Answer - Tours, unless noted, will depart from and return to the corner of 6th and Lafayette Streets in downtown Royal Oak, Michigan (adjacent to the parking structure) unless otherwise noted. The parking garage offers low parking rates - about $3 for the day. This central location was chosen for its convenient access to I-696 and I-75 highways. Added bonus, Royal Oak offers many great restaurants and three local breweries that you can visit after the tour for dinner.

Answer - Reservation Fees received by Motor City Brew Tours are non-refundable.  We understand that things come up. Motor City Brew Tours reserves the right to cancel a tour if there are fewer than ten people signed up.  Should this occur, your reservation fee will be transferable toward another tour or fully refunded.
