A short list you could hand to a friend landing at Heathrow: 3 breweries tours worth the money, with prices, traveller verdicts and the one detail to check before booking.
At 3 Locks Brewing Company in Camden Market, you get a welcome beer, six guided tasters, a brewhouse pour, beer straight from the tank, and a final beer in 90 minutes. Guides named Mick, Michael, and Shay are associated with the tour. It costs £30, about $33, and is for adults 18 and over.
“Mick was excellent fantastic tour and great value for money”
Spend 3.5 hours on Bermondsey’s Beer Mile with Paul, a guide and international beer judge. Visit four brewery taprooms, taste a half or two-thirds pint at each, and learn about beer styles and the area. The group is limited to 14. Food and transport are not included.
“Bewertung für die Biertasting Tour mit Paul: Ein rundum gelungener Nachmittag! Paul war authentisch, unglaublich fachkundig und hat die Tour individuell auf unsere Gruppe abgestimmt. Mit viel Leidenschaft und Insiderwissen führte er uns durch echte Londoner Pubs und ließ uns besondere Biere entdecken. Kein 08/15-Touristenprogramm – sondern echtes London, ehrlich und mit Charakter. Absolut empfehlenswert! Cheers🍻”
Spend 90 minutes at Five Points Brewery & Taproom in Hackney. A guide takes you through the working brewhouse and packaging lines, then serves four one-third-pint beers fresh from the tank on a mezzanine overlooking the brewery. Guides include Bex, whose hosting has been praised for its warmth and humor.
“Excellent afternoon. Our guide was fun & Knowledgeable. Great tasting and not tight with the portions. Would recommend.”
Pick a landmark, a river, a pub or a road out of town.
