Frequently Asked Questions for The Original Brew Tour

Question 1

Could my tour be cancelled?

Accepted Answer

Not likely, but it is possible. In the event of severe weather or a lack of tour-goers, the tour may be canceled.

In the event of inclement weather, the decision to cancel will be made by Brew Tours Staff at least 12 hours before the start of the tour. If roads are fair and our brewery partners are open, we make every effort to run our tours as scheduled. If we have to cancel a tour due to weather, full refunds will be provided. Should you wish to reschedule due to inability to travel during the inclement weather, please give us a call at 732-217-4673 to discuss your options; a fee may apply if your tour was still scheduled to operate.

The Spring Lake NJ Train Station
