Knowledgeable and Thorough Tour - The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took all of our opinions on beer into consideration. He took us to many interesting places and encouraged us to try things we have not before.

Beer tour of Berlin. Prost! - Cliff had an extremely good knowledge of German beer history and it was also really good to use this as a grounding for why there is so little variety around German beer. Cliff took us on a tour of the fledging craft beer scene around Berlin with some interesting tales and stories that only a place like Berlin given its uniqueness could have. Cliff had an intricate knowledge of chemist and the brewing my process. We went to come lovely bars. It was way too hot, but that isn’t Cliff’s fault! Overall an excellent tour of beer around Berlin. 😀

An unforgettable experience - We had a great experience with Cliff, who not only taught us so much about beer, but also a lot about the city's history! I kept on wishing that I had brought a notebook to write everything down because he provided such a robust amount of information in an entertaining manner. Thanks Cliff!

Interesting and enjoyable beer tour, away from the common tourist sites - Very interesting and enjoyable tour outside the common tourist sites. The tour included the history of beer and related history of Berlin. The stories where told by a very knowledgeable guide, while tasting craft beer at some of the local bars. Recommended!

Culture experience - Cliff was a fantastic guide. This tour was more than just tasting beer, it was a cultural experience to Berlin. Cliffs knowledge of the area and beer scene was second to none. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Fantastic experience! - My friends and I had an amazing time on this tour. Cliff was an excellent host, not only was he full of interesting facts and history of beer in Germany, but also about the history of beer in general. We all learned so much and were fascinated by the information he offered, and felt really comfortable due to his laid back and friendly manner. He really made us feel like valued guests and made the afternoon feel like a social event rather than just a service! The wide range of beers we got to taste was fantastic, and all really high quality premium beers. I got to try types of beer I'd never even heard of before, such as a smoked beer, which was awesome. We also had some delicious pizza at the start of the tour. The bars Cliff took us to were really cool, so much so we went back to the area the following day, discovering more bars that we otherwise may not have found, thanks Cliff! If you're visiting Berlin, and like beer, then it's a no brainer. Book!

Great Berlin beer experience with Cliff! - Cliff was a fantastic guide for the craft beer tour. We got to learn about the history of Berlin, the history of beer in Germany and sampled many different beers under his tutelage. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and well worth it if you enjoy beer.

Good Experience, Excellent Guide - Clif was very knowledgeable and a great teacher of how craft beer is made and how it was established in Berlin. He has a calm and welcoming demeanor and was a pleasure to hang out with for 3 hours. The pizza was excellent, but the beers were hit and miss. Good portion of beer to try as well. We tried a guava-esq tasting beer, chocolatey-malt beer, as well as more traditional Hefeweizens and IPAs. Unfortunately I didn’t like half of them. There were 7 different beers we got to taste in 3 different places in a great “locals only” part of Berlin. Not your traditional German beer tasting, but a great experience nonetheless.
