Still, to visit breweries safely with your group, take the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Double-check each brewery\u2019s COVID-19 information<\/strong>. We\u2019ll provide basic information here for your convenience, but double-check each one prior to visiting\u2014whether they\u2019re closed, taking to-go orders, or open for visits so long as you wear a mask.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create a quick schedule for the breweries you want to visit<\/strong>. You can jot them down in an app or create a Google Sheets spreadsheet where everyone can collaborate. Either way, you want to have a rough schedule for your brewery tour, so that you don\u2019t spend too much time in one location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose a restaurant to stop by at the beginning, middle, or end of the tour<\/strong>. Alcohol can make people hungry, so ensure you plan for that by including a food stop either at the beginning, middle, or end of the tour\u2014or all three.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secure a <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texascharterbuscompany.com\/houston-charter-bus\"><strong>Houston charter bus rental<\/strong><\/a><strong> if you haven\u2019t already<\/strong>. A charter bus rental will help your group get around much more easily, and you won\u2019t have to designate a driver. Plus, if everyone flew in for the trip through one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texascharterbuscompany.com\/blog\/houston-airports-group-guide\/\">Houston\u2019s airports<\/a>, you won\u2019t have to rent separate cars.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose a <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texascharterbuscompany.com\/buses\"><strong>bus type<\/strong><\/a><strong> that works for your group<\/strong>. The bus type you choose depends on the number of people who are coming with you. You can rent a minibus or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texascharterbuscompany.com\/56-passenger-charter-bus-rental\">full-sized motorcoach<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have fun! <\/strong>Last but not least, have fun. Without a need for a designated driver, you won\u2019t have to worry about your alcohol intake, allowing you to go on your brewery tour carefree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ready to hit the best breweries in town?
