“I regret to say that Springs Beer Tours will be closing our doors soon.

The Covid years hit us pretty hard and the business just hasn’t recovered.

I would like to say thank you to all of the new friends I’ve met from around Colorado, the US, and literally from around the world, that have toured with me over the years. It’s been awesome meeting all of you.

If you would like to get in touch, have a suggestion, or just want to say hi, please click the button below or give me a call at (719) 425-9770.”

Summertime Brews Tour – Sold Out

The Summertime Brews Tour

Do you have the “Summertime Blues”? We’ve got the cure.

Come take a guided, walking beer tour with us through the beautiful, quaint mountain town of Manitou Springs, Colorado. Along the way we’ll sample some of the finest summer inspired craft beers, share a little bit of local history and talk about the craft beer phenomenon.

Your guide will have some jokes and stories to tell as well…(please be patient and try to laugh.) Be sure to bring your own jokes and stories and we’ll supply the beer…and please, really, please, bring some good jokes.

Manitou Springs sits at the base of Pikes Peaks (14,115 ft. at the top) and is known for its mineral springs, art galleries, specialty boutiques, and some great little craft beer establishments.

Bring your mom, bring your baby (you know, like, your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse, not like, you know, a real baby), bring the boss, bring your congressman!

We will be celebrating summer throughout the months of June, July and August with our Summertime Brews Tour. (Featured beers are subject to availability and may change without notice.)

Meet your tour guide at:
The American Legion Post
634 Manitou Avenue
Manitou Springs, CO 80829

We will begin our tour at the American Legion Post and end up at the Red Mountain Bar and Grill at the historic Cliff House Hotel.

Fantastic Tour

This was a fantastic tour, in the beautiful setting of Manitou Springs. Russ was a great tour guide, and a fantastic story teller, sharing tidbits of interesting history from Manitou Springs. I LOVED hearing the stories from this area. And the beer! Drinking local brews with a group of really fun people was the best was to spend our afternoon. I would recommend this to anyone who can enjoy a walking tour. So very fun!

What a way to taste some great local craft beers and learn about the history of Manitou Springs. Russ is so knowledgeable and incredibly personable. It also helps that he loves craft beer! Highly recommend this tour.

Would love to go again!

We had so much fun touring with Russ! Even though I’m not the biggest fan of beer, the selections he chose made me think I should give the beverage another try. It’s pretty good! I love that I could ask lots of questions. Even though I’m a local and have driven through Manitou many times, I gained a deeper appreciation for the town and it’s history…and the beer of course. 12/10 would love to go again!

Great Beer Tour!

Our host, Russ Shaw, made the event extremely interesting. At each of the three places we visited, Russ knew the proprietor and it was obvious they had a good rapport. His ghost stories about the places we visited as well as some we didn’t were entertaining.

You get a beautiful walking tour!

We got to do a beer tour with Russ shortly after the holiday season. It was fun, learning about the history of Manitou Springs, and of course great beer. The tour starts early enough that every venue was pretty empty and we didn’t have to yell. On top of that, you get a beautiful walking tour of some of the best parts of the city.
