We allow you and your group/friends enough time in each location to enjoy your beer gardens, a pint of beer, pitcher, and/or growler during lunch and after tasting your flight. Unfortunately, just for the hard spirits only, (such as Bourbon and Vodka) you cannot open and consume after your tasting at the distilleries on the property. You can tour, taste and take their delicious products home to enjoy!
