Discovering Bristol’s Hidden Gems

Bristol, a city that never sleeps, is ready to welcome you with open arms this February.

With the tour starting in the late afternoon, you have the perfect opportunity to explore the city during the day and then dive into the world of craft beers as the sun sets.

The tour kicks off at the Moor Beer brewery tap room, where you can indulge in three locally brewed beers. As you stroll from one venue to the next, you’ll be armed with a welcome bag filled with snacks, beer tokens, and a map to guide your journey. The beauty of this tour is its flexibility; you can set your own pace and linger at any venue that captures your interest. One reviewer noted, “Excellent tour! I was passing through Bristol with some friends and couldn’t find any beer tours that started early enough in the day to work with our schedule, so I reached out to Heather who arranged a customized version of the tour for us. We all had a great time trying beers in 3 breweries!” (Reviewed on 2024-03-26).
