The Walking Tours of downtown Kalamazoo breweries from West Michigan Beer Tours and Discover Kalamazoo are offered year-round.

West Michigan Beer Tours is also happy to arrange a customizable private walking tour for groups of all sizes. Whether it’s a corporate outing, holiday celebration, birthday party or just a group of friends who want to learn more about the city’s beer culture, we’d be glad to help.

For those looking to book our public walking tours and who need help with overnight accommodations, please consider our discounted rate at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in downtown Kalamazoo.

For those looking for options just outside of downtown Kalamazoo, there is the newly renovated Delta Hotels Kalamazoo.

Also included in our walking tours is a stainless steel pint.

Please contact our general manager, John Liberty, at moc.sruotreebimtsew@nhoj or 269-350-4598.
