Great day for beer lovers! - A great day taking in some of the craft beer bars around Manchester. Well organised, good selection of beers to sample and interesting chats with the bar staff. Rachael made sure everyone was well looked after and everything ran smoothly. Worth the ticket price and a great way to spend an afternoon in Manchester!

Great tour with a great guide! - Great tour with a fantastic guide, we tasted very interesting beers at nice breweries and had a lot of fun. Highly recommended🙂

Great way to visit breweries in Manchester - We didn't really know what to expect from the tour but were met by Daz at Fell in the Northern Quarter. He explained what to expect and where we would be going. There were 10 of us on the tour and, as well as Fell where we had two samples and talked to the brewer, we visited Cloudwater, Balance and Sure Shot, having 2 or 3 samples in each. A great way to spend 3 hours or so in the company of like-minded people and a great host in Daz ... I would definitely recommend.

Anniversary gift to my husband - Booked the beer Tour as a gift to my husband for our 21St wedding anniversary, glad to say he really enjoyed the day and so did I, met some great people and and sampled some great beers in brewery's and taprooms I didn't know existed, Isla was a great tour guide, very pleasant and engaging. Would recommend the tour to anyone wondering what to do on a Friday or Saturday afternoon.

Great beer. Great experience. - We had a great day on the Craft Beer Tour of Manchester. Tasted an array of great beers. Isla our host was lovely and chilled and made us all feel very welcome. The staff from the breweries were super knowledgable and answered any questions we had. Oh and the sun shone, in February, in Manchester! Fully recommended.

Get on this tour. - Tickets for the tour were a Christmas present from my partner and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Really interesting and varied, well lead and a great bunch of people in our group. Need a gift idea? Get a voucher for this tour, it’s brilliant.

Great Brewery tour - Great brewery tour with lots of information. Rachel our tour guide was brilliant. We met lots of lovely people and tried some lovely beers.

Great way to spend Saturday afternoon! - Great tour. Walking distance wasn’t too onerous and we visited 4 tap rooms/breweries, drank 10 different beers. Rachel was a perfect host and the brewers talked about their brews with great enthusiasm and knowledge. Lovely way to meet people from different countries and other parts of Uk. Funny how we kept our distance at the beginning and were chatting like old friends at the end! Highly recommend

A very pleasant way to spend a Friday afternoon - What a wonderful way to spend (or mispend depending upon your point of view), a Friday afternoon! I joined the Craft Beer Tour around Manchester. It took me back to my working days at #Symology, when my colleagues and I would venture to places like Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Harrogate and many more, to have our own best pub tour, superbly led by our very own beer guide expert, Stuart. The tour started as 13 beer enthusiasts met out guide Dazzer in the Fell Northern Quarter bar on Dale Street. No. 35 if you want to locate it yourself. Fell brewery is located in Flookburgh, near Grange over Sands and they produce a wonderful range of craft beers, both in cask and keg. The bar manager gave us an in-depth talk about the beers and the brewery, while serving us with our first two 1/3 pints of the afternoon; Fell Crag bitter, a well balanced smooth, clear bitter at 3.8% and Fell Cracked Earth, a rare Red IPA at 6.0%. A cracking start to the afternoon. Then we got the major walking of the afternoon in, about 10 minutes, when we made our way towards the Picadilly area and the famous Cloudwater brewery. Here we got a really good talk from the manager about Cloudwater, it's history, brewing the different ales and much more as we sampled 3 different brews; Cloudwater Pils at 4.2%, Fuzzy IPA also at 4.2 and Picadilly Porter at 4.6%. Although I'm not usually a lover of porters and stouts, the latter was probably my favourite tipple of the afternoon. Next it was a short walk around the corner to the Balance microbrewery in the arches behind Picadilly station. Here we were treated to three more beers with our guide providing the descriptions as the bar staff were getting quite busy on a late Friday afternoon as workers clocked off for the week. The beers were Long Shadows at 4.8%, a bit like cider vinegar to be honest, would have gone well with fish and chips, Utopian British lager at 4.7%, a bit bland or maybe my taste buds had been depleted by this time and Beak Hun Hazy Pale at 4.8%, which was just about drinkable. Our last stop was virtually next door at the Sureshot microbrewery, where our guide talked us through the last couple of beers; Absolutely Electric at 5.5%, a pale ale and My Brass Hand at 5.0%, another stout, both quite decent ales to finish the proceedings. Porters and stouts are welcome drinks on a cold afternoon in Manchester. The tour lasted about 4 hours and I think it was good value for money at £40. It would make a good Christmas present for any beer lover and you get your steps in as well! Many thanks to Marge, who bought me the tour as a birthday present. You get 12 months to redeem the voucher. A very pleasant way of spending a Friday afternoon, when you are retired or otherwise.

Best Day Out , Can't wait to book again - I booked the Craft beer tour as a birthday gift for my husband and myself .And all I can say is Book It . I can honestly say it was one of the best days out we have experienced. Daz the guide is a fantastic fella , very knowledgeable and such a fun happy guy .I was the only female on the tour but did not feel uncomfortable or not included at all . Everyone on the tour was extremely friendly . Each venue we visited explained different IPAs , Craft beers etc and we got 3 taster drinks in each of the 4 venues and they were explained of how they came to be made from % to flavour chices etc by someone from each venue . Fantastic day out , We are definitely going to book it again .
