Check out their site for a list of other tours available. 

Barley Bus

Another safe and fun way of visiting three different breweries in Kansas City. The Barley Bus takes beer lovers on a 3 to 4 hour journey filled with delicious brews. You can also book winery or distillery tours on their site.  Don’t forget to tip your guide and driver!!

The pedal machine (for lack of a better way of phrasing it) you and up to 15 of your boozy friends can pedal around the Crossroads or the Waldo Brookside neighborhoods is admittedly dorky looking. But hey, you’ll be too drunk a hour into the journey to care much.

Prices range from  $320 to $360 per group.
