Meet Your Tour Guide To Austin's Craft Brewery Scene
James Lipari is Austin’s only Certified Cicerone® tour guide. Imagine the beer version of a wine Sommelier and voila! Let James share his knowledge and enthusiasm as you tour (and taste) all the best local suds.
Taking a brewery tour with ATX Beer Bus means that your tour will be guided by a Certified Beer Professional. James has obviously consumed his fair share of beer but a Cicerone® is like a professional beer coach that helps restaurants and bars craft their beer experience so that the proper glasware is used, the correct foods are paired with the appropriate beer and that your beer is poured and served correctly.
You simply cannot get this type of experience with other brewery tours in Austin.

James and the ATX Beer Bus was an amazing experience! Went for my bachelor party. James was a great host. He curated a tour of breweries that fit our tastes. His expertise and support of small business was very much appreciative. He was also very generous and accommodating each step of the way. Highly recommend!

This Beer Tour was absolutely amazing!! James was on time and made sure we were safe. He was fully engaged with us. His vehicle was clean and he provided water and light snacks.

And Now…Two Words About “All-Inclusive” Brewery Tours in Austin
THEY'RE NOT! There isn’t a “one size fits all” for every brewery tour group. There isn’t even a set amount of beer that works at the individual level. So how can it be an “all-inclusive tour” if not everyone gets the amount of beer that they want?
Texas Hill Country or Austin City Limits?
