Austin Brew Tour FAQ

All ticket sales are final. Tours cannot be exchanged, rescheduled, or refunded.

Guests that purchase our optional ticket insurance during checkout can cancel or reschedule their tour with at least 24 hours notice and can be rescheduled or reimbursed for the full tour ticket price (minus the booking fee and insurance fee). Please contact us for assistance.

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.  Should you wish to reschedule due to the inability to travel during the inclement weather, please contact us to discuss your options; a fee may apply if your tour was still scheduled to operate.

Our pick-up spot is in front of The Fairmont Austin.

The van will depart right at the time listed, so we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to allow for time to check-in! Bear in mind we do not have a storefront, but our pickup location is on Red River Street, in front of the Fairmont Austin.
