Nice afternoon outing - Dave is a great host. He set a good pace & kept the conversation flowing. Enjoyable time with a small group. Not a great option for a rainy day though.

Beer and history. Fun! - Enjoyed learning the proper method for tasting beer. Jason was a knowledgeable tour guide. We felt like there was a little too much time between tastings because of the Christmas Market, but enjoyed the 2 places we visited
