Fresh Tap Tours

NEWSFLASH: it’s hot in the summer in Houston. Drinking beer is one of the few activities you can partake in without withering away in the southern sun like a raisin. actually maybe more like a wet sponge left outside after a carwash. too humid here for raisins.
ANYWAY, Fresh Tap Tours is an awesome service that a) introduces you to craft breweries you might not have known about b) drives you around in an awesome, air-​conditioned bus with snacks and c) lets you feel like you’re learning something about craft beers and brewing while drinking! win!
I took the Galveston tour with FTT – We met up at Nobi, a fine, craft-​beer mecca here in the Clear Lake area. From there we went to Galveston Bay Brewing Company (an absolute gem that will have a review coming!), Texas Beer Refinery (currently shacked up at the Clear Lake Shores Food Park, as their facilities are under construction) and Galveston Island Brewing Company. All of these breweries were amazing, and completely new to me. The owners or brewers at each facility give you an overview of their processes and beers, and lots of bevs! They seemed genuinely happy to have us at their facilities.
Your ticket includes one or more beers at each of the brewery stops and your transportation on a luxury, air conditioned coach. The FTT tour guides are super friendly, and give you snacks! We even made a stop at buc-ee’s for bathrooms and beaver nuggets.
Fresh Tap Tours has a number of tours available for different regions of the Houston Area, and I can’t wait to try some of their other ones!
