Brewing great days out since 2014
UK Brewery Tours was founded on London's Bermondsey Beer Mile and now runs award-winning brewery tours and beer tastings in cities across the UK.
Born on the Bermondsey Beer Mile
Bermondsey is London's historic brewing heartland — home to the Barclay Perkins Brewery, the largest in the world in 1809 and famous for its Porter. When Evin O'Riordain founded The Kernel Brewery under a railway arch in 2009, he sparked the craft beer renaissance that turned the neighbourhood into the famous "Beer Mile".
We started guiding tours there in 2014, and we've been showing people around Britain's best breweries and taprooms every week since.
Real beer experts, not script readers
Our tours are led by people who live and breathe beer — like Paul Davies, an accredited Beer Sommelier, Certified Cicerone® and World Beer Awards judge who leads our Bermondsey tastings. You'll learn how sensory analysts and beer judges evaluate a glass of beer, and leave knowing the styles, their history and their evolution.
Guests regularly name-check our guides in reviews — Steve in Bristol, Jo in Bermondsey, Darren "the Beer Sherpa" in Cardiff — because a great guide is what turns a pub crawl into a brewery tour.
The UK Brewery Tours way
Working breweries
We go behind the scenes at real, working breweries and railway-arch taprooms — and the brewers themselves often show you around.
Tutored tastings
Every tour includes guided tastings — typically 1/3 or 1/2 pint measures — so you can taste and learn across styles from pale ales to stouts.
Small & personal
Small groups, flexible routes and tours that can be adapted — including wheelchair-accessible routes where possible.
