Brew Hop Reviews & Testimonials
“It is a pleasure working with Summer Nixon and Larz Watts of Brew Hop. We always enjoy the new guests they bring to us and their help in promoting not only our beers and brewery but the local San Diego Brew Scene. The guests are always enthusiastic about their "tasting and tour" plus they bring in guests who are now "regulars" .
Summer and Larz are always professional, prompt and communicate their needs well in advance which provides a well rounded experience for both the guests and our restaurant & brewery. We look forward to many more Brew Hops in the future!”

“We at Stone Brewing Co. have had the pleasure of working with Brew Hop for approximately two years. Over the course of this time Summer Nixon and Larz Watts have consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence in customer service, reliability, and providing the highest quality experience to their clients. Brew Hop is also a licensed carrier registered with the California Public Utilities Commission and, according to PUC representatives, is in good standing with the agency. It is therefore without any reservation whatsoever that I highly recommend Brew Hop as an outstanding tour service for people wishing to experience the very best of San Diego’s craft brewing venues. Should you have questions in this regard, or if I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me any time.”

“Hi Summer and Larz- Thank you so much for the wonderful tour. I’ve been bragging to all my friends about the beer tour! Not only telling them how cool it was visiting the different breweries, but also explaining the different processes of brewing to create a unique flavor in each……Take Care”

“Last October we celebrated our 20th anniversary so I planned a surprise trip to San Diego for us. Okay, so the surprise was really just for my husband, since I was planning it. Being that our passion is craft beer, San Diego, is sort of our Mecca on the West Coast. I contacted Summer at Brew Hop and they set us up with a customized, personal brewery excursion. We hit Green Flash, Alesmith (on barrel-aged Speedway Stout release day), and Lost Abbey.
Summer and Larz went above and beyond hitting Alesmith earlier that week in order to acquire our release tickets for the Speedway Stout. We got to Alesmith with only a few minutes to wait for our numbers to be called. For anyone that has waited in line at Alesmith on special release days, for tickets, and then waited in line for your ticket numbers to be called, you know what a sweet deal this was for us!
We had a great time, Summer was awesome! I would do this again in a heartbeat! And I would recommend it to all of my beer loving friends. The personal brewery tours were a great chance to actually get to talk to the brewers, themselves, not just the "tour guide". Fun!”

“We took a trip with Brew Hop last weekend and it was the BEST! I reserved the tour for my husband's birthday as a surprise and they were very helpful. Summer and Larz are very enthusiastic about beer, they are a great company and it felt like we were riding around with our friends. It was a very personalized experience and one that we will never forget!
Once we got into our fancy car they introduced the tour to my husband, we visited four breweries and San Diego Brewing Company was our favorite. We met the brewer Dean who was very excited about his work and took us on a short but very intriguing tour of his brewery. Then we sat with Summer, Larz and Dean for about an hour and chatted about all the different beers that he makes and the new ones that he is working on. We had never thought about beer in this way before and it was a very unique and fun experience! Of course everything is more fun when there is beer involved!
San Diego has a great selection of breweries to meet the needs of any brew lover. The beers were full of flavor and covered the full spectrum from light to full of hops. We plan on doing another tour with a group next time. I think it would be great for any special celebration. Try it out! You will love it.”

“What a Hit! The Brew Hop Team helped make my best friends bachelor party a huge success. They took a bunch of guys (too old and too married for strippers) on the brewery tour of a lifetime. We started the day in style with a limo ride right from home. We hit Ballast Point Old Grove Brewery, Green Flash, Lost Abbey and ended the day at Stone Brewing Company where the team arranged for our dinner reservations.
This is a must for any true craft beer lover!”

“Last December, my wife took me to Temecula with some friends for a surprise birthday trip. Imagine my delight when a limo pulls up at our hotel, and instead of the normal wine tasting tour, we head off to local micro breweries to taste the best of San Diego!. Summer and her team handled all of the details perfectly. I would highly recommend a beer tasting tour with Brew Hop - it was fantastic.
Dave from Hermosa Beach”

“Larz, (the) Brew Hop tour was legit and I want to thank you for the great trip and great start to a drunk Saturday/Sunday. Your company and service is top-notch and will be able to tell all my buddies about the experience we had. My Dad even enjoyed the trip as a light beer drinker and could not stop asking when we could come back to San Diego. I really appreciate the great trip and it was an amazing experience. The hotel was awesome and located in the perfect area. Dinner was great and we drank more STONE brews and then the night only went up from there..... We’ll stay in touch and thanks for the pics, they look great and I appreciate you taking those. Also, thank Summer for me and tell her thanks for answering all my questions and good luck to the both of you with your great business.”

"Dear Summer, I can’t believe two months have passes since our tour! Where has the time gone? ... The other groomsmen that were unable to make the tour sure wished they had made it after we told them how much fun we had! We all agreed that our visit to Alesmith was the highlight with the personal tour given by Peter and the autographed bottle he gave to Joe as a wedding gift.
There were many aspects of the tour that made it stand out from just having a designated driver taking us on a brewery-hopping outing. We didn’t have to worry about how much time to spend at each brewery or determine how long it would take us to get to a brewery. The private tours and the reserved passes on Stone’s public tour are things we could never get on our own. We didn’t have to fight the crowd at Green Flash or Stone for our tasters--you got them for us. And with you getting our tasters at Alesmith, we were able to spend more time listening to Peter! About two weeks ago we went to Pizza Port after the Sour Festival at Stone and had to grab our own table after some people left. Both Joe and I asked each other “Where’s Summer to get our table for us!”
We all hope to take more Brew Hop tours in the near future, both in San Diego and Los Angeles when your L.A. tours start. Our wives plan on joining us next time! Thanks again for our fun tour!
