Four breweries, one bus, and the story of Liverpool's beer scene

You visit four working Liverpool breweries in one afternoon, tasting 12 curated craft beers and eating food along the way. A beer sommelier explains styles and brewing techniques at each stop, and the bus handles all the transport between them.

The Experience

There's something about stepping into a working brewery that makes you want to understand what's actually in your glass. On this tour, you're not just tasting 12 different craft beers across four independent Liverpool breweries — you're meeting the people who made them, learning why they chose those particular hops or yeast strains, and hearing how the city's beer culture rebuilt itself over the last decade. A beer sommelier guides the tastings, so whether you've been into craft beer for years or you're just curious, the explanations land without any gatekeeping.

The bus moves you between each stop over four hours, which means no walking in circles trying to find the next place, no getting lost, and no scrambling to figure out transport. You'll get behind the scenes at each brewery — not the polished visitor area, but the actual space where the brewing happens. The stories you pick up there, the ones the brewers tell about their equipment or their first batch or why they opened in Liverpool specifically, those aren't the things you'd find in a review online. Food comes along the way too, including pizza at one of the stops, which keeps the tastings grounded and the afternoon from tipping into something you regret.

The group stays small and the atmosphere stays friendly. You're with people who showed up because they wanted to learn something, not because they wanted to get drunk on a bus. The beer sommelier moves through the tastings with the same tone — knowledgeable but not precious about it. Lagers, ales, stouts, ciders, the full range. Each one gets explained in a way that makes the next sip make more sense than the last.

What’s included

Your day includes private bus transport between all four breweries, 12 craft beer tastings led by a beer sommelier, food during the tour, behind-the-scenes access at each brewery, a local Liverpool beer guide, and 10 photos sent by email after the tour ends.
