Request to lead a beer tour

So we received this request - it sounds like a great oppertunity to take our beer education mission to non-members. Maybe start at the brewhouse for a quick 30 min tour and education, followed by a real brewery or two ending in some place like blue frog? I'd be more than happy to co-coordinate, but I'd like to see 3-5 people total so we have a ratio of 1:10.

The request:

I am a professor of geography at UMass-Amherst. Our conference for
geographers, AAG, is in  April in Chicago. About 10000 geographers will
descend on the city and we love beer. Each year, I and two colleagues
organize a beer tour of the city in which the conference is being held.
Last year, we were in Tampa and it was a roaring success. So, I have a
question: Would any of your members like to lead about 30-50 geographers
who love beer on a tour of breweries, pubs, and etc in Chicago. There
would be some sort of remuneration, but definitely beers on us. We get a
bus to take us around and will be based out of the Hyatt Regency downtown.

Feel free to say "No" or "Sounds great."

Sounds like a blast. April is a ways away, but sounds like a fun experience. Might also be fun to engage Bruce from the Chicago Beer Experience and see if we can get a potential docent to fill in history of Chicago bits from brewery to brewery. I'd love to coordinate or help out.

If needed I can give you the

If needed I can give you the contact information for Rick Julien who owns the Brews Cruise Chicago if they want to go to actual breweries across Chicago.

I can also give your contact information for Kevin Salvi who owns the Brew Bus Chicago, but the bus quality is significantly higher with Rick.
