"It's incredible that Owen does the research, sets up the entire itinerary, and provides an unbeatable beer enjoyment experience wherever we go." - Bob Sandage: Former owner/brewer of Atlanta's Wrecking Bar brewpub "I've been on six European beer trips with three different operators since 2000. Owen's are the best organized, best priced, and most importantly the MOST FUN!" - Bob Pike: Retired Delta Airlines pilot "Owen's trips bring all the charm of local pubs and local breweries wrapped in one great experience. I really enjoy the planned-out day-to-day schedule that's filled with brewing history, education and fun!" - Brian "Spike" Buckowski: Co-owner/brewer for Terrapin Beer Company, Athens, GA "The access to people and places that Owen provides in invaluable. He will take you to places you either could not have gotten into, or would otherwise have never known. Truly a remarkable experience. I've been with him on five journeys and experienced seven countries, countless beers and a million laughs." - Fred Crudder: Formerly with Heavy Seas Brewing, Baltimore "In July 2017, I won a beer trip at The Old 320 Beer Fest at Max Lager's to visit Germany with Brewtopia. It changed my life. Last month I went on my fourth trip (I paid for the last three) to Europe with Owen Ogletree. These trips are fantastic!" - Mary Fiorello, Atlanta beer blogger. "This is the most cost-effective beer tourism I know, and everyone will be a friend at the end of the trip -- if they were not before." - John Sukroo: BJCP beer judge "Owen's beer journeys are absolutely beer-tastic! Fun and educational for everyone from the beer novice to the long time professional." - John Roberts: Brewmaster for Max Lagers in Atlanta "Owen's group trip to Argentina was amazing! We loved the five-course wine pairing dinner, the incredible beers at all the breweries, the absolutely delicious Fugazzeta pizza, the amazing drinks at Tres Monos, and the CASK ALE festival in freaking South America! The list goes on. How lucky we are to travel with this group, and we appreciate everything Owen does to set this up and herd everyone from place to place." - Dan Carley: World traveler and craft beer enthusiast |
