London has a fantastic craft beer scene with over 130 breweries in the city — and nowhere tells the story better than Bermondsey's famous 'beer mile'. This tutored tasting tour visits the best breweries and taprooms of the mile, and it's a step up from a traditional tasting tour.
What you'll do
Your guide — beer expert Paul Davies, an accredited Beer Sommelier and Certified Cicerone® who has worked with Fuller's and judges beer internationally — personally leads you to four taprooms along the beer mile. At each stop you'll enjoy a tutored tasting: discover how sensory analysts and beer judges evaluate the qualities and style characteristics in a glass of beer, and come away knowing the styles you're tasting, their history and their evolution.
