Amanda clearly knows her stuff when it comes to St. Augustine's history and craft beverage scene. Reviewers consistently praise her storytelling abilities and deep knowledge of the area, whether she's leading the regular brewery tour or the popular Frightful Nights experience. She comes across as personable and engaging, joining conversations and tailoring stops based on group preferences. Patrick gets similar enthusiastic mentions for his passion and humor. The tours hit three local breweries or distilleries that visitors likely wouldn't discover on their own, with generous tastings at each stop. Groups appreciate learning about beer making and moonshine distilling processes while riding in a custom outfitted bus. The experience blends education with entertainment, covering both the craft beverage industry and St. Augustine's rich cultural history. Several reviewers mention planning to return with larger groups, which speaks to how memorable they found the experience.
