A great way to spend an afternoon - John was an amazing guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about both beer & local history and was great with answering our questions. We learned a lot about the brewing process, and the beers we had on the tour were fantastic. We tried a variety of beers including a few I typically don’t drink, and it was great for me to try new things. I also loved learning about the history of Pittsburgh and John was a font of knowledge and let me pick his brain, which was awesome! I’m glad I found this tour and would highly recommended it to others.

If you like beer local history, get this on the books. - Did this tour on a Saturday afternoon with John our tour guide. I am a beer guy and will try any style or beer variant. This tour was perfect for both the experienced beer nerd or someone that just wants to have a fun walk though a great neighborhood. John did a great job weaving Pittsburgh and Lawrenceville history and lore into the walk. The four stops were perfect and the staff were really engaged and excites to tell us about their beer. At every stop we tasted a different type of beer and some of the stops gave us a full pint, which is unheard of on a beer tour. If the walk the burgh team ever needs a secret shopper please contact me I would pay them to take this tour with John again.

The Lawrenceville Bites and Brews tour was great! - We had a beautiful walk down Butler street, stopping along the way to see street art and landmarks and learn about the history of Lawrenceville. Our guides, Dan and Diane were very knowledgeable and fun, and bought us beers and provided snacks along the way. I went with friends and met some other cool people on the tour as well. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, whether you are new to Pittsburgh or have lived here your whole life.

Bites & Brews & Basketball - My husband and I were in town, from Ontario, for the 1st and 2nd round of March Madness. We signed up for this tour so we could explore the city before the next games and we are so glad we did! From the moment we walked in to the meeting spot, Dan & Diane made us feel welcome and excited for what was ahead. The length and distance of the tour was just right for us, as we were on a schedule, but if we wanted to continue with a self-guided tour afterwards, Dan & Diane gave us plenty of suggestions of where to go and what to do. The breweries we visited were fantastic, and the beer was great. Dan & Diane really know the history of Lawrenceville and of Pittsburgh in general and hearing their own experiences of living there made it that much more interesting. Highly recommend this tour.

A St Paddy's visit to the Burg for parade fun and beer sampling - WE highly recommend taking this fun informative tour of Lawrenceville while sampling locally crafted brews! We got to see where the beer is made and talk with one of the owners at Lolev Beer at our first stop. Our guides Dan & Diane were very knowledgeable of the area and made our tour fun!

An Informative Walk for Beer Lovers! - Having been on several WTB tours, I was eager to join this new brew tour to get to know a different part of town.
This tour doesn't start at the Walk the Burgh headquarters, but instructions for parking and meetup for the tour were a breeze, and I had no trouble finding the group at the meeting spot. Everyone in the group was super welcoming and friendly - what else do you expect of beer lovers?
I'm a local, so I'd been to a few places in Lawrenceville before, but I hadn't really explored Upper Lawrenceville, where the tour starts, let alone walked along that stretch. It was great to have an excuse to get to know a few breweries in this area, as well as learn about their history AND have beer samples at each one. We didn't just learn about the breweries -- walking along that stretch of Butler Street, you pass the Allegheny Cemetery and a few other places of note, and we learned some things as we walked.
We hit four breweries in all, having either a full pour, half pour, or tasting at each spot, and the guides provided snacks so that no one regretted planning for a late dinner!
I'm so happy to have learned some new info about my town and to have discovered new places to grab a pint and hang out without having to walk in blindly on my own. I can't wait to get back to Upper Larryville and hit up these breweries with my friends...or just take my friends on this tour!
