Liverpool: Brewery Bus Tour with 4 Breweries & Pizza

Summary

Sample craft beers, meet brewers and share pizza on a Liverpool brewery bus tour

You’ll hop between four Liverpool breweries by private bus with an expert beer guide, tasting up to twelve different brews along the way. Expect behind-the-scenes tours, plenty of laughs over fresh pizza, and real stories from local brewers. If you love good company and discovering new flavors in unexpected corners of the city — this is your ride.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway to our second stop when someone in the back started singing “Hey Jude” (badly, but with heart). The bus rattled along the Liverpool streets, and I could smell hops clinging to my jacket from the first brewery. Our guide — Tom, who looked like he’d tasted every pint in Merseyside — told us to keep an eye out for the next place, tucked behind a red-brick warehouse. He handed me a cloudy pale ale that tasted kind of like grapefruit and biscuits. I didn’t expect to learn so much about yeast, honestly.

At each brewery, we got four or five different beers — lagers, stouts, even one cider that tasted like autumn. I tried asking the brewer how they get those chocolatey notes into their stout (he just grinned and said “magic”). The pizza came out at the third stop, all gooey cheese and charred crust; it disappeared faster than I could say “cheers.” There was this moment when everyone went quiet for a second, just eating and sipping in that warm room while rain tapped at the windows outside. Felt kind of communal, you know?

By the last brewery, people were swapping stories about their worst pints ever (one guy claimed he’d had lager with pickles in Prague — not sure if he was joking). Tom kept us moving but never rushed; he even showed us some brewing tanks up close. We ended up with ten or twelve beers each by the end — honestly lost count after a while. They emailed photos later (some better left unseen), which made me laugh all over again. I still think about that pizza-and-pale-ale combo sometimes when it’s raining here.
