• Prices increase nominally if there are fewer than 8 participants

Optional Tour Modifications:

• Lunch or dinner: If you would like to enjoy a meal at a brewery while on tour, there are two ways to pay:
  • No extra charge by us up front, you simply pay the food bill after the meal
  • Pre-pay for the meal when you book the tour (this can end up more complicated and more expensive)
• Visit a winery: For an additional charge, it may be possible to substitute an urban winery visit in place of one of the breweries
  • Typically an additional $10-$40pp
  • Wine is produced on site, but there are no grapevines

Tour Location:

SoMa and/or Dogpatch neighborhoods:

• Most of our private walking tours take place in this area due to the flexibility of opportunities they offer including the ability to host larger groups. The walk between breweries is generally about 15 minutes.

Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach:

• Maximum capacity, 20 people. This route includes 1 brewery and 2 bars, but is much more scenic and informative about the iconic neighborhoods and sites you pass. It is great for first time groups in SF equally excited to learn about and experience San Francisco its self, and it’s craft beer scene. This route typically includes two 45 minute walks.

Mission:

• The Mission District is a fascinating blend of wealthy, poor, bohemians, Latinos, and techies set among a patchwork of old dives, modern hot spots and Victorian architecture. Witness the intriguing blend of cultures firsthand, learn about some of the countless excellent beer bars, restaurants, etc., you’ll pass, and take a mesmerizing and thought-provoking walk down Clarion Alley to see the famous street art murals.

Transportation:

• We can provide bus transportation as an option

Throughout the tour, your guide will provide insight into the history and importance of each brewery you visit as well as interesting info about each beer you drink, samples of beer ingredients you can smell and taste, and a brief history of brewing in San Francisco. We strive to provide the balance of learning, drinking and celebrating that’s right for your group; your guide will keep an open dialogue with your group leader to make sure they’re providing you the experience you desire. Breweries we most often visit include Seven Stills, Anchor, ThirstyBear, Local, Triple Voodoo, and Bartlett Hall.
