In a few short months summer is finally coming back to Vancouver and with it the return of wedding season, or as it’s known to us at Vancouver Brewery Tours, Bachelorette and Bachelor Party Brewery Tour season! With 6 years experience planning bachelor party brewery tours for literally hundreds of different groups of men and women, you could say we’ve seen it all and then some!

And while celebrating on a bachelor/bachelorette party is a tonne of fun, there is also a lot of work that goes into planning a successful day for the organizer of the group. And while our team takes care of all the details for your group and will make sure your crew has a successful tour, there a few things we recommend to help get the most out of your Vancouver Brewery Tour.

With that in mind, we’ve put together our top suggestions on how to make the most out of your Stag or Stagette Party Brewery Tour with Vancouver Brewery Tours, and to ensure the aspiring groom and bride have a great time and leaves the tour ready to take on the next round of festivities!

1) Plan Ahead

Do you have a “must have” day for the bachelor/bachelorette party, or are you flexible on dates? Either way, put your request into us as early as you can. You don’t have to commit to booking your tour right away, but our tours can book up months in advance so it doesn’t hurt to fill out our Private Tour Online Request Form to first see if your date is available. If not, we’ll suggest other available dates that may work for your group. Once you’re ready to move forward with your tour, payment of a deposit will lock down your date and then the fun begins!

2) Choose your Tour Type

Our most popular bachelor party tour is our Vancouver Brewery Tour, which takes you to 3 breweries in just over 3 hours and includes free pick up and drop off, transportation, 1 beer flight per stop, behind the scenes tours and much more. We also offer lots of options for customization. Want to visit a distillery? How about adding a meal to your tour or get dropped off at your favourite restaurant afterwards? You tell us what you want and we’ll make it happen.

3) Choosing Breweries to Visit

So many options! You can either leave the planning to us, or we can choose the breweries for you, totally up to you. Choose from 22 of our brewery partners, including Storm Brewing, one of the most popular stops on any of our bachelor/bachelorette party brewery tours.

4) Customize your Experience

Once you’re on tour with us, our experienced guides will work with your group to make sure you get the experience you’re looking for. Want brewery tours at every stop? None of them? Want the focus to be more on tasting beer and getting a few tasting notes for each one? Maybe you’d like to totally geek out and pepper your guide with tough questions? We’re ready!  We’ll also work with your group to put some of your favourite craft beers in front of you and will offer a few suggestions for must try beers at each stop.

5) Take Care of The Bride/Groom!

The most important tip of the day! While every group wants to have a good time, the best bachelor/bachelorette party brewery tours we’ve seen are the ones that take care of the the bride or groom and ensure they’ll be in good shape after the tour is over.  How much fun is it really if you feed them SO much beer that they feel sick afterwards? Punishing the bachelor or bachelorette with too much to drink is not fun for anyone! Brewery tours are the lead up to a great evening, not the end of it. Our suggestion? Pace yourself yo! Drinking is fun, laughing hard is fun, going home at 6pm because they drank WAY too much on tour is NOT fun.

Travel Mag Lists Vancouver Brewery Tours as Must Do Activity in Vancouver

Craft beer has become one of Vancouver’s most vibrant cottage industries in recent years, with a vast number of small, independent breweries creating their own products to distribute around the city and beyond. Whereas traditionally brewery tours have involved traipsing around large-scale manufacturing plants, in Vancouver it is a more local and immersive experience.

One of the best companies to offer such excursions is Vancouver Brewery Tours, who offer trips that take in the city’s craft beer hotspots. The tours are held at a leisurely pace and with plenty of samples to taste along the way. There are a number of different tours on offer, including some that pair beer tastings with sightseeing. More information and a list of tours available can be found here.

After almost 6 years in the brewery tour biz, our fleet continues to expand, and we are happy to announce the newest addition!  All of our vans are named after our favourite beverages –  IPA, ESB, PIL and since we’re also lovers of dark beer it was time this iconic style was represented in our fleet – enter PORT.

PORT continues the tradition of our A-Team like sideways wrap, but with the new addition of almost lifesize growlers taken from our logo. Why growlers? Because to us, they are a symbol of everything our company stands for – drinking locally and supporting our craft beer community. While can sales continue to grow exponentially in Vancouver, growlers are still the best way to connect you with your neighborhood breweries and of course, fresh beer. We think there’s some great van selfies in store for our guests with the new van!

So watch for our newest van driving around Brewery Creek, Yeast Van, North Vancouver and wherever the journey for fresh beer takes us!
