Perfect Beer Lovers' Guide in Melbourne: Beer Tastings at 3 Venues

Brilliant with a great guide

Tristan was brilliant with his knowledge and guidance around Collingwood. And of the brewery’s we went to. Each brewery was welcoming and chatty as well.

Don’t recommend

There was no memorable part, our tour guide was unenthusiastic and not knowagable. The tour would’ve been better if we had a different tour guide who actually knew what he was talking about and more enthusiastic.

We did get to taste some...

We did get to taste some beer. However, we did not learn much about beer tasting in the sense of learning how to appreciate differences between different kind of beers.

Good brews

Enjoyable trip to three different pubs. All offering a paddle of tastings of their own brews. Our guide Tristen was very informative about the places and offered history on the area.

We had a great time....

We had a great time. Enjoyed being in Collingwood and visiting the different sites. Tristan the guide was helpful and engaging

Unreal

Nice variety knowledgeable guide. Good fun. Would highly recommend. Location was perfect and added an interesting side topic.

Thumbs down

Beers were great! Venues were great! Sharing a tasting paddle between 2 people and getting a toasted sandwich at the end was very poor!

Mmmm beer

Nice variety of beer styles in a compact area to explore. Tristan was an awesome guide, who had an exceptional knowledge of the local brews.

Fantastic

Tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable, interesting history. Unique places and unique beer. Great experience

Some trams stations not wheelchair friendly/raised platform.

Guide was great. Some locations we only got one beer instead of a tasting paddle. Some trams in the area aren't wheelchair accessible, such as Smith Street. Molly Rose is a great spot!

Wish you were beer

Had a ripper time hopping between these breweries, learning a thing or brew about all their unbeerlievably delicious bevs. Thanks to Tristan, who was great company and knew his beerios!! I Collingwould recommend for any beer fancier...at yeast come along to sample a wide selection of beers you might not have tried before!

Hops, malt and barley wine

An incredible experience. Our guide Joseph was super knowledgeable and made the night really fun. We rated this tour highly, recommend for all beer lovers. Lots of experimental beers tasted, don’t go expecting to drink what you know.

Nice craft beer tour experience

I attended Mr Tristan's tour, which was one of the memorable experiences in my Melbourne life. Especially, he was a nice and kind tour guide, managing the tour flexibly and providing explanations, such as the brewery history and community.

Craft beer

We both had a great time with Flo who was very knowledgable. Didn’t think drinking beer could be hard work 🤣🤣 No bad heads this morning and thanks for a great time at the breweries

Great For Beer Lovers

Enjoy great beer and receive an education on all thing craft beer. Really enjoyed the tour. Think we will organise for the team at work !

Craft Beer tour

this was a great tour - our guide Flo was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local craft beer scene. Even though it was only 2 of us on the tour he made us feel at ease and ensured we had a fantastic experience. The venues visited were amazing ; the staff very helpful and spent time telling us about the brewing processes . Great value for money and a good way to see the culture and crafts of the Melbourne backstreets. highly recommended

Go with the Flo!

I've been a local to Melbourne for many years and have never known about these amazing locations! Flo has an incredible knowledge with the history of craft beer and introduced us to some of the most lovely staff and delicious craft beer. If you're interested in everything beer-related and want to have a fun night then this is the tour for you!!

A really fun night out with a great guide, Flo!

What a fantastic experience with our tour guide Flo, who is really passionate and informative. You could tell he loved what he was doing and he had strong personal connections with all the bar staff. Thanks so much Flo. Even though I live in the local area I had never been to these small bars/breweries and they all had great vibes and even better craft beer. If you're looking for something a bit different and authentic, this is the perfect tour. Actually it doesn't even feel like a traditional tour - it's just a super fun night out that I would highly recommend whether you're a Melbourne local or visitor.

Great night out

This was fantastic. Flo (our guide) was very friendly, knowledgeable and inclusive. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see more of Melbourne's craft beers.

Beertastic

Great way to meet people, learn about beer/brewing as well as get to know the neighbourhood. Flo makes you feel very welcome and the choice of breweries is great, they all offer something different. Would recommend to tourists and Melbourne locals.

Great tour with Flo

We had such a great time, learned a lot, and tasted lots of great beers. Would recommend highly. Thanks again Flo

Excellent time!

Great night, delicious beers, wonderful company. Flo is an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide that complements the brewery's own insights into the local brewing scene. An experience well worth it!

Superb evening exploring Melbourne's microbrewery scene and more

We highly recommend the tour if you are keen on learning more about beer or just want to explore the Carlton/Fitzroy area. Flo was an amazing guide (and bloke), very knowledgeable about the Melbourne beer scene, but also about the city with great recommendations from coffee places to restaurants.

Great night exploring the North

My partner and I are Melbourne South based and we wanted to mix things up by going on a guided tour around Fitzroy/Collingwood area. Our guide was Flo and he was great company. We tried new places we had never been before, learned about beer brewing and tried delicious pizza. Although we live in Melbourne we tend to stay in our bubble and forget to venture out to new suburbs. Would recommend if you want to see some cool breweries!

Broaden you beer Horizon with Flo

Recently went on the craft beer lovers tour out to the Carlton area with our awesome super friendly guide Flo. Flo took us to the mill 1st, a small micro brewery with some very interesting beers especially the habanero one, didn't taste like habanero at all but you'll have to try it so you can guess what the flavour really is, pretty amazing. The next place Flo took us to was a very cool bar which had a good range of bottled craft beer and specialised in Australian spirits, super friendly staff and I have to say hesitatingly a hot jaffle, I had to eat humble pie it was the best jaffle I've ever had. Final destination, Flo took us to a bar that specialised in tapped craft beers, again tucked away that you wouldn't find without Flo's help, great Vibe great beers. Flo had obviously done his homework and provided us with a great night, awesome venues, and local knowledge to back it up. So remember when looking for a craft beer tour guide make sure you, go with the Flo!!!

A wonderful experience!

Great venues & Beer. Our guide Rebeca, was energetic knowledgeable and well organized. I had a fantastic evening, thanks!

Fun Evening Exploring Melbourne Beer

Had a great time with our tour guide Flo. We visited 3 local pubs to partake in the local craft beer scene. After the 3 planned locations, Flo invited us along to his "home" bar the Catfish -- bonus activity where a live band played. Flo was very informative about the local beer scene. He provided several suggestions for things to do the next day. Fun evening!!

Excellent beer and a Fantistic Guide

Fantistic tour with Nick. Group meeting place was easy to fiind in Southern Cross Station and then a short tram ride to Collingwood to taste the beers. The stops chosen by Nick were iinteresting and he added a lot of local color to the tour. Also was very knowledgable about the local beer scene and make some excellent recommendations for beer styles at each stop.

Great evening out in Collingwood

A small group of my mates decided to do something a little different on a Friday, and seeing as we don’t often go to Collingwood, it seemed a great idea to use someone else’s experience of the area. It turned out to be a great night. We received a tour of the brewing process at the IPA bar, found a bar serving jaffles that I’ll definitely go back to. Mick is an amazing host. His knowledge about some of the strangest buildings in the Collingwood area is amazing! It’s definitely value for money when you consider that your tour price includes a tasting paddle, 2 other beers at different venues and a jaffle. Thanks Mick. Hope to do some of your other tours in the future!

Flo and Tamara are the Best

I was in Melbourne on business (aka on my own), so I thought what better way to see the city than with a few locals over a few drinks. Flo was my host and Tamara was shadowing... both were amazing. I learned not only a lot about Australian beer but a lot about Melbourne in general. I don’t think I had a question they couldn’t answer. It was actually just me on the tour, which I thought might be a bit awkward at first but they quickly put my worries to rest. It honestly just felt like going out for drinks with some friends. Anyone considering this should just pull the trigger and go for it... you get to see the sides of Melbourne that the locals love, which are the best parts of any city.

Nathan Lawton

Had a fantastic tour with Leonie who took is to some great bars, highly recommend to anyone that is thinking of taking this tour.

Un tocco di Melbourne

Sono andato a Melbourne per una brevissima trasferta di lavoro. Ho voluto toccare più da vicino questa città, al posto di scegliere un tour convenzionale, ho scelto Urban Adventure. Scelta azzeccata! La guida (Flo) è stata fantastica. Oltre ad essere stato molto bravo nell'introduzione dei vari sapori delle birre australiane è stato molto simpatico. Subito mi sono sentito parte della città, proprio come mi fossi ritrovato con un amico che conosci da tempo. Una serata molto tranquilla all'insegna della socializzazione e della vita notturna australiana.
