Jun 01 2021

Spending time with our Dads is the best gift we can give them, and ourselves. And we’re betting that your Dad – like a great many humans on the planet – likes to spend time relaxing and chatting over a glass of beer.

You could pull a cold one out of the fridge...or you could share an unforgettable afternoon or evening in a new place, making memories together, and bonding over a Pilsner, Guinness, Asahi, or Barranco. Below find our suggestions for ten unforgettable beer tours around the world.

Ten Amazing Beer Tours Around the World

Visit an 1842 brewery in Pilsen, Czech

Just over an hour from Prague lies the city of Pilsen, Czech home to one of the world’s most famous beers: the Pilsner Urquell. Visit the brewery, in operation since 1842, and enjoy a cold one in this beer-loving nation.

Sample craft beer in Porto, Portugal

We all know that other beverage Porto is famous for, and after traipsing around the port wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, you might be ready for something other than the rich red liquid! Enter Pedro, a self-confessed beer lover, who will have you trying everything from mainstream Super Bock to the many craft beer brands which are having a moment in Northern Portugal.

Enjoy drinks with a beer sommelier in Munich, Germany

Munich is possibly the greatest beer destination in the world, because – as our guide Sabina puts it: “We have more than 20 different styles of Beer, 4000 brands, the highest rate of per-capita consumption in the country (40% more than the national average!) and the largest beer festival in the world.” Pretty good reasons to enjoy a beer in Munich!

Explore Micro-Breweries in Lima, Peru

Craft beer may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Lima, famous for its ceviche and pisco sours. But there’s a vibrant micro-brewery scene happening in the Peruvian capital, and our guide Vanessa is keen to help you explore it!

Pub Crawl in Dublin, Ireland

This one’s pretty self-explanatory, we think! One of the great joys of visiting Ireland is relaxing with a pint of Guinness in a classic Dublin pub. Our guides will see to it that you get a good dose of Irish craic along with your stout.

Tour with a Certified Beer Expert in Antwerp

There is no other country in the world with a beer culture quite like Belgium's. The tradition, the diversity and of course the quality of Belgian beers are so exceptional that UNESCO even declared it UNESCO World Heritage. Sample the best of them in Antwerp with licensed guide (and certified beer expert) Erwin.

Sip Craft Brews in Bratislava, Slovakia

Bratislava takes its beer just as seriously as its more famous neighbour Prague, and a new wave of independent microbreweries and pubs is putting the city on the beer drinkers map.

Beer Night in Sao Paulo, Brazil!

“The first thing you should do when you get to São Paulo is climb the tallest building you can find and take in the city’s enormity. Then, revel in a craft beer scene that is by far the most advanced in Latin America.” So says Aleszu Bajak of the Beer Advocate.com, and local guide Cicero would agree! He’ll stop you from getting lost and help you find just the right place to enjoy a great beer in this immense city.

Meet the Brewers in Chicago, USA

With 167 breweries in the metro area, Chicago is home to more breweries than any other city in the US. And our guide Johanna has industry connections…meaning should you wish, you may meet and chat with the brewers themselves at a number of microbreweries or brewpubs.

"Sightbeering" in Split, Croatia

What could be better than getting to know a 1700-year-old city through its special beers? Explore the tunnels, chambers and arches of Split's famous Roman palace, while trying a variety of unique light and dark beers local to Croatia.
