A brewery tour RSVP has to fill the tasting-room count, match the ID rule, and settle rides before the host starts, because a maybe does not hold a flight.

A brewery tour breaks when more people show up than the tasting room booked, when someone arrives without the ID the brewery checks, or when the group assumes a ride that nobody offered. The brewery sells a time, a number of tasters, and a host who will not start the tour twice. A maybe does not hold a flight.
