The brewery tours were a great addition to my friend's bachelor party. Nick was our tour guide, and he picked us up right on time, in front of our Airbnb. The old school firetruck was a pretty sweet ride! There was plenty of beer and water inside for us to begin the journey. You could also hook up your phone to the sound system and play your own music. Nick brought us to three breweries (Ballast Point, St. Archer's, & Mission) and at each one he would give us a little insight on the history of each brewery. Once inside, he set us up with some drinks, and even showed us around Ballast Point. HotShots also provided lunch, which was very delicious! We had chicken wings, subs, pizzas, and fries. Nick was a pretty friendly guy, and a great guide! While at each brewery, he hungout with us and played cards. He even beat us in Pusoy Dos (Filipino card game) numerous times. Pretty sure he was just hustling us though... Overall HotShots was a great experience. We got to go to 3 different breweries, drink a lot, and not have to worry about how to get to the next brewery. We all had a great time, and if you book them for your brewery tour, you'll have a great time as well! read more

This was a completely awesome experience. Donna was fun and super helpful in setting it up and accommodating our group. Hugo was our guide and driver for the afternoon, and was absolutely excellent - he brought the perfect kind of energy to our tour and was a fountain of interesting facts. The bus was really cool, and lunch was also really good (can happily recommend the California burrito for sure.) Definitely looking forward to coming back in the future to try a different tour. read more

Booked a tour for a goodbye party last week and couldn't have been happier. The bus, service, tour guide, and breweries were all absolutely amazing. We all had the greatest time. I couldn't recommend this company enough. The owners are incredible and all the employees are personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they're doing. Can't wait for the next event so I have an excuse to book again !!! read more

My fun and Fabulous at 50 Birthday Bash was a complete success due to Hotshots Brewery Tours. We had an amazing time! We were picked up at our hotel, all 28 of us climbed into two trucks and drove to our first destination Ballast Brewery. They have an amazing selection of beers to taste. Our Beer Guides were awesome. They shared their vast beer knowledge at the next brewery Saint Archer. Great beer there too! The truck rides were fun as they were full of beer and water. We hooked up our own music to listen to 80s tunes. (I'm 50 remember? :p ) Finally we got to Duckfoot Brewery where my gluten free brother could have some beer as well! Everyone could join in on this tour! Something for everyone! (They had wine at Ballast too) The catered bbq food was SO good. Snarfed that down with some great beer. Hotshots Brewery Tours is amazing. They made my Birthday pretty epic. The family and friends will be talking about it for awhile! They all want to go again. Im like YES..but you're all paying for it this time :p Nick and Canyon were beyond awesome (sorry if I spelled your name wrong :/ ) Paul is probably looking forward to not receiving anymore of my frantic emails..:p You guys did a fantastic job. A million stars!!!! read more

We had the best time on this brewery tour! We did a private tour that started at 11:30am on a Saturday. Paul and JC were prompt and knocked on our door even early and we hit the rode! They both were great company to our group, had a lot of knowledge and were just cool people. We were celebrating my fiancés 30th birthday and it was so much fun! We went to Ballast Point, Ale Smith and Saint Archer (but you can choose where to go as long as they are close-ish in location). So many beers -- we couldn't finish them. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a fun time. read more

My boyfriend's 40th birthday was a blast! They really go out of their way fulfill your every need. Paul was great with responding quickly to emails and questions regarding the planning and Anthony our tour guide was amazing!! He ordered pizzas to be delivered to our first stop because we hadn't eaten yet, personally helped every lady off the bus each and every time, gave us a very informational tour at one of the breweries, honestly every time I needed anything he was right there like "I got you". We couldn't have imagined a more amazing way to celebrate. We felt very taken care of. Thank you again!! read more

Booked a Saturday tour for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. Paul was fantastic to work with over the phone and worked with me to select the perfect experience for our group. We had Anthony for a guide the day of the trip and I continued to be impressed. He led a great brewery tour, insured we had beers in our hands, and catered to our every need. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone. The firetruck is a unique and fun experience for any occasion! Thank you! read more

Canyon, our driver, knows his stuff. We were celebrating Jim's birthday and hit Ballast Point, Alesmith and St Archer. Great beers! Canyon told us all about the brewing process and took care of the ordering. We had delicious pizza and great beer. The truck was clean and comfortable and much less obnoxious than I expected. All very cool. We had a great day of friendship and fun. Highly recommend for any occasion. read more

Wow! Had an absolute fantastic day...Canyon was our guide and he did a magnificent job. Very knowledgeable, great personality, and truly made our day one to remember. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great time. read more

THESE GUYS KNOW HOW TO DO IT! They just know how to communicate, how to have fun, how to make things easy, and how to have excellent customer service. Paul was the driver and Canyon was the man! Very friendly, polite, accommodating, and again, EXCELLENT customer service. Canyon also knew his stuff with beers and other beer info. These guys were awesome and the ride was bad ass! It was for a Bachelor party and I can tell you it was much better being in the fire truck than in a fancy black party bus thats for sure, especially during a Bachelor party! The truck is awesome. The service was impeccable and I will be sure to use them for my next brew tour! Oh yeah, and they give you a beer to start, and water the whole time, and they even bought us a 12 pack later on. And they got the food to us when needed and it was really good. All in all, best brew tour I have been on and I have been on a few! Thanks guys! read more

Paul, our amazing tour guide was awesome! 10 girls for a bachelorette party came out to the SD area and Paul was so helpful! He was our chauffeur, tour guide, and even waiter from 11:00am - 3:00pm. Super fun experience and tons of beer to drink! Would highly recommend! read more

From my first phone call to inquire about their services, down to the drop off at our house, this was a fantastic experience! Canyon was our driver, and he was friendly, informative, fun, and professional. He was one of the highlights of our trip since we was so accommodating and knowledgeable for us group of beer amateurs. The vehicle itself was roomier than expected, there was a blue tooth speaker system so we were in complete control of the music, and was a smooth ride. I would highly recommend this to any group looking for something different than just dinner and a movie. read more

So for this Halloween weekend my friends and I dressed up and did the brewery tour in the fire truck. There was initially a little mix up with our tour location but as soon as I called Paul (I believe) was super quick to get in touch with Donna who was quick to reach out to me and let me know she was working on getting me what I wanted. In the end it worked out which was great. The fire truck is super cool, we loved riding in it. Our driver/tour guide Hugo was AMAZING! We absolutely loved him, the energy and vibe he brought. I would definitely recommend them and use them again. read more

We did a private tour for a bachelor party two weekends agoand it was amazing. The rig is awesome and perfect for cruising around San Diego to go from one brewery to another. It has a crazy good sound system and they hook you up with a beer as soon as you get on. Our guide, Canyon, was such a cool guy. He told us all we need to know about each brewery, recommended the best drinks, provided a tour at Ballast Point, and was even rocking out with us while we're having a good time in his truck. Definitely worth every penny and I would do it again in a heartbeat. So much fun. Thanks guys! read more

This tour was booked for my Bachelor Party, these guys were awesome. I've been on three beer tours so far, and this was hands down the best tour. They communicated well and had convenient pickup, so it was all very convenient. The repurposed fire truck was the coolest thing for a beer tour: it was comfy, spacious, had a sound system, and was more unique than just a bus. Nick was an incredible tour guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He definitely added to the experience and exceeded expectations. I couldn't be happier with my experience! read more

We used this brew tour for my friends bachelorette and it was the best! Nick was awesome!!! So much fun! I highly recommend!! :)

These guys were awesome! Several friends and I booked this tour for a bachelor party last weekend and were very pleased with the experience. Not only did we have VIP service and an endless supply of brews, but they were also super knowledgeable about the brewing process. By then time the tour ended, we were all drunk. Needless to say, I forgot my $100 sunglasses. I received a phone call the next day asking me for my address so that they could mail them to me! Wow! That kind of stuff just doesn't happen anymore! Thanks for all of he fun guys! I highly recommend! read more

Had my bachelor party with this company. Awesome time for sure. The guys went out of their way to make sure all the guys had a great time.

Simply put, this was an amazing experience. We had a group of about 25 for my 40th birthday on two fire trucks. The guys took care of everything and were very knowledgeable. The trucks are fun to ride in with the music blasting. All the beer we could handle and then some! Great food choices too. Everyone went home happy. Can't wait to do a brewery tour with Hot Shots again! Cheers boys! read more

The tour was AWESOME! We had a gift certificate and they were so accommodating. The bus itself is rad and we had beers and waters while we drove, also had Bluetooth so we could play music of our choice. The dude running the show was great! He was super friendly and actually knew what he was talking about. Highly recommend, this tour is a great time!! read more

Surprised my husband with a brewery tour with 13 of our friends & family! We had a BLAST! Anthony was our guide, and he was hilarious and very knowledgeable! My husband had the best birthday ever Thank you to Paul who helped set everything up! My group had changed a few times as far as "how many" were going to attend. He was always willing to give me a better understanding and breakdown of the pricing. read more

Did the tour as part of a friends bachelor party. Canyon was the best guide you can ask for. He took us to three breweries. Modern times, pure project and mikkeller brewery did not disappoint. Great times and laughs had by all. It's a must do in San Diego. Thanks!! read more

Fantastic wine tour in Temecula! We enjoyed the driver, very personable and accommodating. Would highly recommend and definitely will use this tour service next time. read more

Highly recommend! Nick was a fun driver and dealt with our bachelorette party all day. We were able to go to 3 of the top breweries in San Diego with tasting flights and tours included. The transportation was smooth since he arrived right to our door and the truck was clean and easy to connect to for music. If you have a group of people and don't want to worry about transportation, you should definitely book with HotShots! read more

This is the jam! Nick is awesome and makes sure we're having the best time. Thanks for making this trip amazing!

Absolutely amazing!!! It was such a fun and unique way to tour some local breweries. Our driver Canyon (yes, that's his real name) could not have been more professional and fun. He took care of all of us from the moment he arrived. Before our scheduled date, we had a few changes and the entire staff at HotShots could not have been more accommodating. The tours were great and I'd also like to send a shout out to House of Bites who provided the catered food. Our entire group of 14 loved every bite of it! The crew truck was so much fun! Driving to and from the different stops, we felt like celebrities. Everyone in traffic around us was waving and smiling at our group. If you want to enjoy some local breweries in a totally different and fun way, definitely do it with HotShot Brewery Tours. Almost 2 weeks after our tour, the folks in our group are still talking about how much fun they had. read more

I was looking for a creative event to celebrate my son's 21st birthday and I had seen the hotshots brewery truck in front of a brewery so I called and scheduled the event. The reservation process was super easy and they were very helpful from ordering the food to picking out three breweries. Our guide was Canyon and he was great. Canyon made it fun and everyone gave the tour a thumbs up. I definitely recommend hotshots brewery tours! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE, couldn't think of a better way to celebrate a birthday. Fun and unique transportation to the breweries as well as fun and knowledgeable staff!! Seriously would recommend, soooooo much fun!! read more
