A new service is launching that gives craft beer fans a chance to tour LA’s beer hot-spots without worrying about driving. The LA Beer Hop 15-person shuttle bus will run tours based in Central LA or the Beach Cities with stops at the best breweries, bars, and pubs. 

The LA Beer Hop tours are scheduled for 4-hours and cost $65, and each of the central LA and Westside tours hits 3 stops from a like El Segundo Brewing Co, Golden Road Brewing, Mohawk Bend, and Beachwood BBQ. They also offer private tours that last 4-hours and can be tailored to what stops you would like to hit and how many people you would like to include.

The service has just launched, and this is what the website has to say about their mission:

Los Angeles is making great beer, but it’s also 500 square miles… That’s where we come in.

Formed by two brothers with a passion for craft beer and a love of public transportation, LA Beer Hop was created to take people from all over Los Angeles to what are some of the most fun places in LA serving some of the best beer in the world. Look at us as your favorite designated driver, who can also give you great tips on what beers to drink.

These brewery-by-bus tours have gotten extremely popular in neighboring San Diego, and we are happy to see an option for a LA craft beer tour! Check out the LA Beer Hop site for more details and to see what tours are on their schedule.
