Editorial Review for Miller Brewery Factory Tour – by Peter Behle
Overview
The Miller Brewing Company was established in 1855 and helped distinguish Milwaukee as the beer capital of the United States. Today, Miller is the world's third-largest brewery and produces such popular libations as Miller, Miller Lite, Miller Genuine Draft and Milwaukee's Best.
The Experience
To appreciate this hops heaven, start at the tour center for a 15-minute theater presentation, followed by stops at the brewery's commodious shipping and packaging area, brew house and historic cave museum. During the summer, half-hourly tours accommodate the crowds anxious to observe first-hand the intricate process of beer production. After the tour, sit down in the Bavarian-style Miller Inn or the seasonal outdoor beer garden and sample a hard-earned brew.

I've recommeded this tour to all my friends and many other people. I have toured this twice, once in winter and once in summer. I recommend taking the tour in winter because it is a lot less busy, there was only 4 of us total on my first tour in winter of 2003. This tour turned my husband and I into strictly Miller beer drinkers because the beer samples at the end are so fresh. Another great benefit for many people, is that it does not take very long. Plus, how many things are there to do that are free now days!
Pros: Free to tour, free beer, informative without being to long and boring
Cons: Too busy in summer, not accessible for elderly or handicapped (stairs)

We really had a great time on this tour. They give you three free beers at the end of the tour, which is nice. The hour was really quick and pretty interesting, though it could have been a little more detailed. Our hosts were entertaining, too.
Pros: FREE BEER!
Cons: Tours fill up quickly
