About this tour
A 3-hour guided tour of Sydney's craft breweries with tastings at each stop and behind-the-scenes access to brewery operations. You'll learn how local brewers create their beers, sample their range, and travel between venues in an air-conditioned minivan. Small groups of up to 10 keep the pace manageable and allow genuine conversation with the brewers themselves.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and small group, then travel by minivan to the first brewery. At each stop, you'll get a walkthrough of the brewing process and facilities, followed by tastings of several beers. Your guide will explain what you're tasting — hop profiles, brewing techniques, the brewery's story — and introduce you to staff or owners when possible. Between venues, you'll have brief travel time in the van. The tour wraps after the final tasting and brewery visit; you'll need your own transport back to your accommodation.
