The experience

Stockholm Old Town's beer scene runs deeper than the tourist pubs on the main streets. This tour takes you to venues locals actually visit: a mix of traditional pubs, brewpubs and small breweries tucked into the narrow lanes of Gamla stan. Your guide, fluent in English, Swedish, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Russian, selects the beers you'll taste based on what interests you: a popular Swedish lager, a regional style you won't find elsewhere, and craft beers from smaller producers experimenting with hops and fermentation. Each beer comes with context, where it's brewed, what makes it different, how it fits into Sweden's modern beer culture.

The 2-hour option covers 2 venues and 4 beers; the 3-hour adds a third venue, 2 more beers and traditional Swedish appetizers; the 4-hour extends to 3 venues, 8 beers total, and a spread of snacks, hot starters and dishes. Food is served at one location only, since pubs and breweries don't typically run full kitchens. Arrive on time at the meeting point in front of Collector's Lady Hamilton Hotel on Storkyrkobrinken. The guide will wait up to 30 minutes, but late arrival can affect table reservations at the venues. The legal drinking age in Sweden is 18.

Because this is a private tour, the guide tailors the experience to your group's size and preferences. Groups stay under 25 per guide. Larger parties can arrange additional guides. If you have dietary requirements (allergies, vegetarian needs), let the operator know in advance. You'll receive an email the day before with final details.
