What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We can pick you up at your hotel, your airport, or schedule a meeting place and time in the St. Louis metro to begin our tour of BBQ & Beer. This tour traditionally begins at 10:30 so we can manage wait times at popular destinations. If meeting up to begin the tour, we traditionally suggest an area outside of downtown to avoid high parking fees and traffic delays.
