About this experience
This is the ultimate Munich beer tour for beer lovers and it's during the day! That's right! Don't lose a day of your vacation to a nasty hangover from one of those evening beer tours, and join us for a little day-drinking instead! Your guide will take you on a unique beer and schnapps experience, steering clear of the mainstream, mass-producing breweries and showcasing the lesser-known but locally-preferred beers. Discover the history of the local beer scene, while experiencing the drinking culture of Munich firsthand in an intimate, small-group setting. We promise you'll never look at Bavarian beer and schnapps the same way again. As a bonus, you'll support local business, as we are the only advanced beer tour in Munich run by a local, Munich tour company. WARNING: This is a serious drinking tour. Pre-drinking is not recommended.
