How often does the Brew Loop run?

Currently the Brew Loop is ONLY on Saturdays 2pm – 8pm.

Is this a party bus?

Yes?….No?….WELL…..maybe? The bus is really the experience you make it! The bus is fun, with music and good people jumping on and off right with ya- so make some friends, drinks some beers at the awesome stops and make some great memories! Trust us, the bus is ALWAYS a good time!

What things can I expect on the Brew Loop?

You’re in for a treat! You can expect a knowledgeable driver, that can let you know about the beers at each stop, where you can get some food (because that’s SUPER important!), to make new friends at the new stops and make some awesome memories with this fun experience. 

What if I don't feel comfortable driving following the Brew Loop?

Being that you are drinking brews at every stop, we STRONGLY recommend arranging for a safe ride upon completion of your tour. Some good share rides are Uber and/or Lyft. Remember, safety comes first!

Can I purchase beer and/or merchandise on my own at the breweries?

Yes! We leave time for this on each stop and encourage you to do so. You can always leave your purchases with the driver on the bus, so you don’t have to carry them around at each stop. We don’t suggest you putting them in our cooler on the bus, as we have different customers hop on/off. 

What if I don’t drink craft beer but still want to hop on the Brew Loop?

First, we hope you will give beer a try. We get excited about introducing wine drinkers, spirits drinkers and Bud/Miller/Coors drinkers to craft beer, as there are so many different styles available – from light to dark, from sweet to spicy, from wine-like to bourbon-like – to suit many different tastes.

Keep in mind, the some of the breweries also offer other options, such as wine, ciders and some have some seltzer options as well!

Are the breweries the same for every Brew Loop Saturday?

Yes, check out our current schedule, under the tab- Brew Loop Schedule- on the main page. 

Can I track the Brew Loop bus?

Yes!  You can track the bus! All the buses are GPS tracked with live feeds. The buses all have names as well- ask the driver the name of the bus so you can track it! 

Do you do private party bus rentals?

Yes! Orlando Ale Line tours are great for birthdays and other celebrations! If you are interested in renting the entire bus for a private party, please contact us 407-683-5713 and we will reserve a scheduled tour for your private party and work with you on meeting spots/pickup points.

Can we arrange to be picked up & dropped off at home?

Yes, that is an option when you book a private bus rental.

Do I have to be 21 to buy a ticket?

Due to State Law, persons must be 21 or older to consume alcoholic beverages; therefore, you must be 21 to get on the bus. While we love kids, our bus cannot accommodate children.

Will I receive actual tickets? Do I need to print my confirmation?

You will receive a confirmation # via email. If you do not receive a confirmation please make sure to check your spam folder. When you arrive for the Brew Loop, the driver will ask your name to check the manifest for the day. The driver will then hand you a ticket for the Brew Loop for the day! 

Can I bring my own alcohol on board?

Yes, if you purchase beers from the breweries that we visited during the tour, you can bring them on the bus. While on the Brew Loop, you cannot bring any liquor. 

What is the food situation?

Often there are a number of food trucks available around the breweries for our guests to purchase food. Some breweries that we visit also serve food. Ask the driver for the current locations for food on the Brew Loop. 

Is there water available on the bus?

Yes, complimentary bottled water is available on the bus. We have a cooler in the back of the bus. 

What is the behavior and sick policy?

Keep in mind that the beers that you will be sampling can be up to two times higher in alcohol by volume domestic beer. We want you to have a good time but if you become too intoxicated to the point of being disruptive to other bus passengers or brewery guests, you will be ejected from the bus and NO refunds will be given. If you get sick in the bus you will be charged up to $150 as a clean-up fee.

Do you have a phone number I can call?

Is the bus wheelchair accessible?

We do have wheelchair accessible buses. We do ask you call in advance to ensure we have that bus in service the date you are planning on hopping on!

Can I buy a gift card?

Yes! Visit the link on our main page to purchase a ticket voucher for a beer lover to hop on the bus! 

How long does it take the bus to loop around?

You would spend about an hour at each brewery. The bus would drop you off, then return back in about an hour. If you decide you want to stay at that location, just hang tight and wait for the bus to come back in about another hour. 

Do you have a non-drinker ticket?

There are no special tickets for non-drinkers.

What is your tipping policy?

While tips are not required, they are appreciated.

Can dogs hop on the Brew Loop?

Yes! Please bring your Best Friend (your dog) as many of the breweries are dog-friendly. Dogs are actually the best bus passengers!
