Chicago Fireboat Tours and Phase Three Brewing are partnering up to offer one of the most unique experiences in Chicago, every Thursday evening all summer-long!!

Phase Three Brewing Company will be bringing days-old fresh, new releases straight from their Chicagoland brewery every week, combined with a beautiful skyline cruise on the Fred A Busse. Phase Three Brewing will also have a representative from the brewery onboard to answer all your questions about how they’re making their wide array of ales and lagers.

Boarding begins 15 minutes before scheduled departure time, for a 2-hour sunset cruise. The Brew Cruise will start on the lake, float through the locks and through the heart of downtown Chicago via the Chicago River, enjoying world-class views, an amazing sunset, and great music; all paired with fresh, innovative craft beers and hard seltzers.
Tickets are $45 per person and include your 1st Phase Three brew once onboard.

Brew Cruises are for the big kids only so 21+ years of age or older.

We cannot wait to enjoy a fresh pint of Phase Three beer aboard the historic Fred A. Busse with you.

Cheers!

Join our expert docents to learn about Chicago’s world famous architecture, as well as the history of our boat with Chicago and it’s Fire Department. Our boat also serves as a floating museum showcasing photographs of the boat in action, firefighting artifacts, and giving a glimpse of what is was like to be a firefighter stationed on the boat. We’ll see how Chicago’s landscape along the river has developed over time, going from stockyards to steakhouses, and bringing millions of tourists to a once desolated area which is now thriving.
