Still mad about that brewery tour where they rushed us through in 20 minutes

Tbh I paid $35 for a ticket at Riverbend Brewing last Saturday and they walked us through the whole place in like 20 minutes flat. No chance to ask questions, no real breakdown of how their hops setup works, just a quick 'here's the tanks, here's the fermenters, okay bye.' I was hoping for a proper deep dive into their process, maybe tasting notes on the grain bill or something. Has anyone else had a tour that felt more like a cash grab than an actual learning experience?

Oh man, that sucks. I paid $40 for a tour at Great Lakes Brewing last year and it was basically the same deal - like a 25 minute sprint through the place. Felt super rushed and I left with more questions than answers.

Wait I actually thought $40 tours were good until now. What brewery does it right?

Great Lakes is in Cleveland right? Pretty sure they actually do a solid tour for like $10 on weekdays. Not saying $40 is reasonable anywhere but 25 minutes is still better than 20 haha
