About this tour

Groups of up to 16 are led by a local guide through London's densest cluster of independent breweries, with a half pint included at each stop.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and begin a walk through Bermondsey's industrial streets, stopping at four independent tap rooms. At each venue, you'll be introduced to the brewery's current range and given a half pint to sample; your guide will explain the beers and field questions. The pace is unhurried — you'll spend 30–45 minutes at each location, giving time to chat with staff and other drinkers. The walk between venues is brief (5–10 minutes on flat ground). The tour winds down at the final tap room around 3–4 hours after starting.

Good to know
This suits anyone curious about craft beer but new to the scene — your guide handles the education, not jargon quizzing. It's also good for groups (friends, work outings, small celebrations) given the 16-person cap and social tap room setting. Practically: the route is flat and all venues are accessible by foot; service animals are welcome. One half pint per stop is a gentle pace, though you can buy extra drinks at each room at your own cost. The tour operates rain or shine and is popular on weekends, so booking ahead is wise. It's not suitable for children or those avoiding alcohol entirely (though soft drinks are provided).
