The Barrel Run

The Barrel Run Hop on a legendary Barrel Bus to explore Chicago's breweries, distilleries, and gangster history, or simply enjoy the ride!
(1)

Our public and private tours, as well as transport services, promise a unique and unforgettable experience. The Barrel Run takes guests on our Barrel Bus in an all-inclusive, Prohibition themed experience, tasting and touring Chicago’s best breweries, wineries, and distilleries. Our Prohibition themed tours will take you back in time to the 1920's and 1930's, allowing you to engage in the history

and reenactment of Chicago's infamous alcohol ban. After boarding the Barrel Bus, explore Chicago brewing and distilling history with our experienced tour guide. At each stop on your tour, taste samples of locally crafted brews and upon availability tour the brewing/distilling process. The Barrel Run Bus was engineered to encapsulate the entire brewing experience. The wood planking, steel bands, and curved shape resonates the feeling of a real barrel. The copper and brass handrails, lights, and accessories mimic the classic equipment used in the brewing and fermenting process. The vertically opening door was engineered to envision hidden cellars of the 1920’s prohibition era.

People often do a double-take when they see the finished bus, but this might be more eye-catching travelling down the road! 🤣 #bus #road #barrel #thebarrelrun #chicago #tours #cool #funny #truck #chassis #interesting #build #transport #engineeringskills
