Toronto's Beer Lovers' Tours

OLD TORONTO BEER TOUR

 Toronto's original  Beer Tour - now in its 20th Year!
All-day, Premium "Old Toronto Beer Tour" 
11:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.​
Our story begins in 1998 when we organized the first ever Beer Lovers' Tour of Europe. It was an amazing adventure, proving that beer, history and culture could together create an incredible travel experience.  Two years later we launched Toronto's original craft beer tour, The Old Toronto Beer Tour. An award-winning experience -- much more than just brewery stops -- it has been running continuously with rave reviews ever since!

What you'll experience on an Old Toronto Beer Tour

 4 Brewery Visits & Tastings

Four fascinating brewery visits including the Steam Whistle Brewery set in a Railway Roundhouse; the Mill Street Beer Hall with its copper tanks; the original Izumi Sake Brewery plus the Amsterdam Brewery with their wide range of fine ales. You'll sample over 14 different styles during the day with a beer expert to guide you through the tasting experience.

Fun-loving people

We like to say that beer brings people together and its true!  You'll spend the day getting to know like-minded people and by the end of the day you'll be surrounded by friends.

Brewery Lunch

Enjoy a delicious charcuterie lunch, accompanied by fresh Steam Whistle Pilsner.

Historic Sites

 Not just a pub crawl, you'll enjoy site-seeing at historic sites like Fort York plus a guided tour of the Distillery District with its cobblestone streets. Not only will you learn about beer styles, you'll learn about  Toronto's brewing heritage dating back to the 19th century. 

Transportation

Climb on board our Beer School Bus for a one of a kind learning experience! You'll travel through "Old Toronto" from Corktown to the Distillery District and learn about  Toronto's 19th c. brewing and distilling legacy and its 20th Century Craft Beer Renaissance.
