Our take
This is the one beer tour we compare on the Sydney pub crawl page, and it is a different night from the Rocks pub walks. Instead of historic pubs, a guide takes up to 10 people by air-conditioned minivan to working breweries, with tastings and a behind-the-scenes look at how the beer is made. It runs about 3 hours and rates close to 4.9.
Because you ride between stops, it suits people who want the beer without the walking and stairs of The Rocks. The afternoon option meets at the Keg & Brew Hotel in Surry Hills. The listing now marks hotel pickup as not included, so plan to get yourself to the start. The breweries you visit depend on the brewing schedule, so the exact stops vary. It is 18 and over, and the listing says it books out more than a month ahead, so book early for a weekend.
Good for
- Craft beer fans who want to see behind the bar
- A small group, with no long walks
Think twice if
- You want history with your drink. The Rocks pub walks do that
- You do not drink beer
