New Orleans Brewery Tours

New Orleans Brewery Tours began with a simple idea over a few cold beers at NOLA Brewing. Friends and beer lovers Peter and Patrick spent countless Friday afternoons sampling local brews and realized there was no easy, safe way for visitors to experience the city’s growing craft beer scene. In 2016, they set out to change that—creating the city’s original brewery tour with the goal of offering authentic, behind-the-scenes access to the best breweries New Orleans has to offer.

What started as a passion project quickly grew into the most comprehensive brewery tour in the city. Today, New Orleans Brewery Tours is part of a larger family of experiences under Premium Tours and Transportation, offering everything from swamp adventures to shooting range excursions. But at our core, we remain dedicated to one thing: delivering an unforgettable beer-filled journey through the heart of New Orleans, guided by locals, fueled by great brews, and driven by a genuine love for this city’s one-of-a-kind culture.

Our Team

Peter

Co-Founder

After graduating with his bachelors in Travel and Tourism from Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island in 2008, Peter moved to New Orleans. Starting his career as a concierge at an upscale French Quarter hotel, he was able to get to know the ins and outs of New Orleans’ vast tourism industry, and gained his tour guide license in 2015. With a love for craft beer, the plan for developing a unique New Orleans brewery tour fell into place.

Patrick

Co-Founder

Patrick moved to New Orleans in 2007 to work in real estate development, focusing on rebuilding damaged homes throughout Greater New Orleans. As is frequently known to happen, New Orleans quickly became home. After seven years of sales and customer service, moving into crafting custom tour experiences for New Orleans visitors seemed like a natural transition, and showcasing this great American city and everything it has to offer had become a passion.
