Participating in a local brewery tour is an excellent way to whittle away a free afternoon, but a rather poor way to prep for upcoming jury deliberations. Enjoy a tall cold one as long as the trial is set for next week with today's Groupon: for $69, you get a choice of either a Beer & Food Shenanigans tour or a Sunday Beer & Burgers tour from Scavengers Beer & Adventure Tours (an up to $125 value).

Operated by beer connoisseurs Adam Hall and Travis Rennie, Scavengers Beer & Adventure Tours whisk thirsty San Diegans away to a selection of the area's finest local breweries. Conducted in open-air Swiss military Pinzgauer ATVs, famed for hosting Swiss soldiers' mobile karaoke tournaments, the tours hit a rotating list of top hop shops chosen from eight San Diego breweries.

With the Beer & Food Shenanigans tour, you’ll stop at three breweries for tastings and tours and will also receive a local gourmet chocolate and cheese pairing. With the Sunday Beer & Burgers tour, you’ll visit two breweries, followed by a beer tasting at a bar. Both tours will include a mountaintop lunch overlooking the Pacific Ocean and will provide participants with a complimentary logo glass and second liver. Please view the tour details to learn more about pickup and lunch options.
