Beer Champions . .

Just a So So beer tour!

Michael_G, Feb 2025

Only 3 stops and beer only at the first stop. Too much beer at first stop. All of us were very hungry by second stop. Tour guide talked too much and more about him! Very self-centered person, plus he was late for start of the tour.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that the guide was a couple of minutes late. However, unforeseen circumstances can occasionally arise, and the guide did inform you well over an hour in advance of the adjusted arrival time. Regarding the tour itself, this was a beer tour, and the full itinerary was clearly explained before the tour began. The number of tastings were the same at the first two stops, and since this is a beer-focused experience, an ample number of tastings is part of the tour’s design. Lastly, our guides are there to educate, engage, and create a personal connection with guests by sharing relevant insights, including personal experiences that enhance the discussion of flavors, food pairings, and beer culture. We’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations, but it seems this may not have been the right tour for what you were looking for. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your future experiences.

Beer, Food, and Fun

julie_b, Jan 2025

Be prepared to have some education and fun. Excellent food pairings (who would have thought that certain foods bring out the flavor of the beer??!!) Stefan was high energy, knowledgeable and passionate! Great tour!

Hi Julie! Thank you so much for the review! Food and beer are a wonderful thing and together they are even better! Thank you so much again and look forward to seeing you on another tour in the future.

Nice experience, would definitely recommend!

A good intro into beer types, history, and even options to pare with. Stefan did a great job! 8 tasters per trip.

Great time for craft beer lovers

Sean_F, Sep 2024

We had an awesome time with this tour. Purchased the tour as a gift for our 22 year old son as he loves different beers. Our guide, Stefan, was super informative, knowledgeable, and entertaining! We sampled a number of different beers from different brew locations in North Park. There were food pairings along the way. We had a great night out!!

Drank lots, learned more

Christopher_W, Nov 2023

Great local walking tour in North Park. Our tour guide Stefan, is truly master of beer. Having a degree in Beer, his tour is more about the education. If you are looking for a drink fast, move from brewery to brewery fast, book another tour. Highly recommend if you are looking for a low key, easy walk, great company and amazing beer.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for the review! We are so happy you enjoyed your time on the tour and we hope to see you on another tour soon!

Stefan is great! Very educated in beer but relayed the info to us in a fun, easy to understand way. We had a great time and even went to a few other places he recommended during the rest of our trip. Highly recommend.

Did the North Park Beerucation Tour in San Diego with some friends and it was amazing! Our tour guide Stefan was very knowledgeable, friendly and all around cool guy. We got so much knowledge about the different beers we were trying, beer in general and even some cool facts about the bars we went to. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Beer school

Gaye_H, Jun 2023

Stefan was a good guide & exceptionally knowledgeable. He knew food & drink pairings & was thrilled to share what he knew with the group. Had a good group with us, small which made it easier to talk & ask questions.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you so much for the review! We really appreciate the feedback and happy you enjoyed the tour! Cheers!

Great opportunity.

Educational and Entertaining Beer Tour

John_O, May 2023

For those seeking an engaging, highly informative/educational, and entertaining beer tour, then, this is should be your top choice. As a non-beer drinker, I developed an appreciation for Lagers, Ales, IPAs and a means for determining food pairings.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you so much for the review and we are so happy you enjoyed the tours. This tour is a perfect tour for both beer and non beer drinkers because we focus on a different side of beer and non beer drinkers will find a style or multiple styles of beer they love! Thanks so much again and hope to see you on another tour in the future!

North Park local brews!
