Guitar Factory & MicroBrewery Tour

Enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes personalized tour of historic Heritage Guitars; the former original site of Gibson Guitars. For decades, Heritage Guitars has been crafting the finest American-made guitars built on the foundations of tradition, craftsmanship and authenticity. It is this very ethos and dedication to keeping the spirit of guitar-building alive that has been consistent since the very first day we opened. During the spring of 1985, several Kalamazoo guitar luthiers, passionate about the tradition of handcrafting beautiful high quality electric guitars, purchased space at the iconic 225 Parsons Street factory along with its original guitar-making equipment. After this experience, head down to Brewery Outre's Taproom for flights and a behind the curtain look with Ted Linabury, Founder and Head Brewer at one of Kalamazoo’s newest and most unique microbreweries. NOTE: Registrants will be divided into two groups.
