Craft beer tasting and local exploration

• Sample beers at local brewery
• Learn brewing process with guide
• Enjoy pint in Palermo Soho

The Experience

The tour starts at a local brewery where the sommelier pours every beer on tap. These are house recipes—the kind porteños come back for, not tourist versions. You'll taste a range of styles and learn what separates one from another: the color, the aroma, the bitterness, the finish. A beer sommelier guides the tasting, so you're not just drinking; you're learning why each one tastes the way it does.

After the first brewery, you move into Palermo Soho with a pint in hand. This is the neighborhood where locals actually go to relax and drink—colorful, creative, full of the kind of energy that makes a place feel alive. You'll eat street food here, the kind that pairs with beer, and you can order more if you want. The second brewery stop comes next, another spot where porteños hang out, so you're seeing where the beer culture actually lives in the city, not just where tours go.

The whole thing runs two hours. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese, so the tasting makes sense in your language. Public transport is nearby if you need to get there, and the pace suits all fitness levels—you're standing, walking short distances between stops, and mostly sitting with a glass in your hand.
