FINE PRINT:
--Tickets are limited, and the discount applies only to individuals who are Certified Beer Servers or higher with the Cicerone Certification Program. Names will be verified, therefore there is a single ticket purchase per person.
--Please understand that this is an expensive trip and each ticket is required to cover costs. Therefore, there are no refunds. This is also a one-off event, so you may not transfer your ticket to another trip. However, you may transfer your ticket to someone else to use on this trip. To do this please email drew@cicerone.org
--We can not offer a separate price based on not riding the bus. We'd love to have you meet up with us for the tour, however. Our pricing structure is a cost-share kind of set up so that we were able to make the cost as cheap as possible based on a certain number of attendees. Because of this, our cost to put this seminar on doesn't change depending on whether someone takes the bus or not and we can not change the total number of attendees.
--We are on a tight timeline and for that reason can not hold the bus for late comers. We will leave very promptly at 7:30am!
*Please drink responsibly and consider your alcohol consumption on the bus if your plan is to drive home after getting off the bus*
