Frequently Asked Questions for Private Brewery Hopping by Damn Good Beer Bus

Question 2

Can We Extend Our Time Beyond Our Original Booking?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes.

It's not uncommon that time flies when you're having fun and groups want to stay out later than they originally planned.

We are more than happy to accommodate that extra time IF OUR SCHEDULE ALLOWS IT. Therefore, we like to suggest not banking on that but know that it usually isn't a problem.

Keep in mind when booking that you'll want to factor in drive time, gathering everyone at each stop, having fun making time go fast etc

Our general rule of thumb is to plan on visiting 1 less stop than number of hours booked. For instance, you can visit 4 stops comfortably if you book us for 5 hours. Granted, each group is different like how far out their Airbnb is, if they visit downtown or not, which has many breweries in a condensed area etc. We are happy to walk you through this.

Question 3

How Does It Work?

Accepted Answer

Think of this as your upgraded, oversized fun brewery bus limo. Go wherever you’d like, for as long as you’d like… brewery or not! Rent one, or both, of our 14-passenger vehicles by the hour and visit breweries, bars, wineries, distilleries, restaurants or take you to a concert! No location's off limits.

To book a date, click on any booking button throughout our site, choose your vehicle preference, date, time and length of booking.

You may secure your booking with just a 25% deposit.

Once booked, we are happy to help plan a route or make suggestions.

We always reach out the week of the booking to finalize details, make sure everyone is on the same page and make sure you know we are good to roll.

Question 4

How Much Does It Cost?

Accepted Answer

We charge $150/hour per vehicle. We do not charge by anything else other than time which is based on time of pickup to time of drop-off.

Our fees for custom pickup and drop-off location 
$0 - You may meet us at Greenman Brewery in downtown Asheville
$0 - Complimentary pickup and drop-off within a 3-mile radius of downtown 
$49 - Custom pickup and drop-off more than 3 miles up to 10 miles
$49+ - Depends on how far but we have gone out over an hour to scoop up groups

Question 5

Which Breweries Do We Visit?

Accepted Answer

Any and all of 'em!

We are more than happy to make suggestions based on your group's preferences. We are also more than happy to follow your lead, or anywhere in between.

Some groups come with a specific game plan, some lean entirely on us and most fall somewhere in the middle.

We can always adjust on the fly, too, never holding you to an original game plan as things change and it's your day!

No brewery, bar, winery etc is off limits.

Question 6

Can We Drink On The Bus?

BYOB and/or is totally fine with us and you are welcome to use the provided cooler however you'd like. You may also pickup beer at different stops along the way for the rides, to take home etc

Question 9

How Many People Can You Accommodate?

Accepted Answer

We have two 14-passenger vehicles for a total of 28 with access to more for XXL groups.

Question 10

How Long Should We Book For?

Accepted Answer

Unless you have a tight schedule, we strongly suggest 5 or more hours based on years of experience and seeing the number of groups that book for less, end up extending.

Our general rule of thumb is to plan on visiting 1 less stop than number of hours booked. For instance, you can visit 4 stops comfortably if you book us for 5 hours.

Granted, each group is different like how far out their Airbnb is, if they visit downtown or not, which has many breweries in a condensed area compared to Sierra Nevada near the airport 30 minutes away. We are happy to walk you through this to maximize your time!

Keep in mind when booking that you'll want to factor in drive time, gathering everyone at each stop, having fun making time go fast etc

Also, when our schedule allows it, you may go over your booked time at our standard $150/hour rate, prorated to your usage.
