  Bryan is a true professional. We were so happy with the decision to take his tour. We saw beautiful scenery, learned about Alaska, enjoyed the fabulous craft beers you can only enjoy here, and had amazing craft cocktails at the distillery. Would rebook this tour in a heartbeat. Thanks, Bryan!

  On what would have been a laborious travel day from Whittier to Anchorage to catch late night flights following our early morning cruise arrival, Bryan provided us with a fun filled day of the best brewery, cidery and distillery in town. Bryan has close connections with each of the stops, providing us with a true VIP experience including behind the scenes tours of distillery and brewery operations, while getting an authentic taste of Alaska that we wouldn’t have gotten with a larger tour operator. Bryan is kind, engaging, and communicative- and has great drink recs as a bonus. We highly recommend Bryan’s Big Swig tour for anyone spending a day in the Anchorage/Whittier area!

• Tasting tour from Whittier to Anchorage, Alaska

  Looking for a phenomenal day with a personable, knowledgeable guide and a different flavor, you can’t beat Big Swig. We lucked out and the four of us had Brian to ourselves. The van looked like he drove it from the showroom floor to pick us up at the port in Whittier, Alaska. For the rest of the day, he drove us first to lunch at the ski lodge at Alyeska in Girdwood then to Girdwood Brewing Company for great locally crafted beers and lots of stories. We wrapped up with a stop at the must go to Anchorage Distillery that included a fascinating tour of the facility. Brian shared a wealth of information about Alaska during the drive. Finally, we had to deviate from our planned schedule a bit, which was no problem for Brian when he took us to the rental car location. All in all, it was a great experience which we highly recommend.

• Couldn"t be better.

  Bryan was amazing. We have been on many brewery tours, this one was the best. If you are staying in anchorage after your cruise and don't want to be herded around with hundreds on trains and buses, this is the tour for you. Educational, fun, relaxing, and tasty. What more could you want. Bryan even dropped us at the house of our Turo car rental. That is the above and beyond customer service you always appreciate.

• Outstanding!

  If you have an extra 8.5 hours at the end of your Alaska cruise, I'm not sure there's a better way to spend it. Bryan and Roberta own Big Swig Tours. They texted me the day before our ship arrived in Whittier to sync up and ensure we had their number. Roberta was right there at the dock at 9:45 as we left our ship. Photo stops along the Seward Highway. Alyeska Aerial Tram to the lodge at the top for lunch and light hiking. The best micro brewery tour I've ever had at Girdwood. Then on to Anchorage Distillery, and Double Shovel Cider Co. Roberta was a great guide mixing personal stories, with history and fun all along the way. We arrived at the airport refreshed and ready for our red-eye back to NJ :)

  Brian and his wife were so nice, it was a relaxing easy going time, the different breweries were really neat, and all the people were fun and informative. Plus the tasting was fun too.
