Looks like a good thing. It would be good to see more things like this in Knoxville. A tour of the Civil War sites would be good. Historical tour. Other cities seem to do a good job with this sort of thing. Nashville as some good tours, Savannah, Ga. etc.
I did a bicycle tour of breweries in Portland, Oregon that was good.

Looks like another addition
Looks like another addition to the brewery tour.
The glass blowing also sounds good. I was walking around in downtown Chattanooga a couple months ago and walked in off the street and watched some glass blowing. It was a neat thing to stumble on.

Artist plans glass studio microbrewery on Central
What breweries
I looked at the web site but it is lacking some information or I couldn't find it. For example what breweries are included on the tours. I could determine the Black Horse and Saw Works but that was it. Does it change to different breweries for different tours? Sounds like a great idea and something we'd do but I need more info.
