Sydney Beer and Brewery Tour

Lovely way to spend Sunday afternoon. Learnt a lot about beer, had a nice relaxing time, would recommend for anyone who likes beer. You don't need to be a beer nut to enjoy this.

Good fun, learnt a lot of stuff, tried different beers in the context of what they were, how they were made and how they differ to other beers....overall a very good experience. Rod did a good job balancing history, technical stuff and making it enjoyable.

Awesome day visiting breweries that not only had great beers but also some history new and old! Colin, our guide, was fantastic and made this repeat visit a pure joy. Will definitely do again when I return in 5 months!!

We had a great day on the Beer and Brewery Tour. We originally wanted the Wine Beer and Spirits, but couldn't be accommodated so the Brewery Tour was offered with no extra cost. They were very helpful in organizing this for us. I'm not much of a beer drinker but I certainly enjoyed most of the beers. We had a great group of people which made it a fun day. Our lunch at the Rocks Brewery was delicious and so was the beer! Our tour guide was Colin and his knowledge of all things beer was outstanding. I now know what beers/stouts have hops and which have barley. Thank you Colin and Daves Tours for an all-round great Day.

We had a great tour with Dave (Greg) through the pubs of The Rocks. He is entertaining and very knowledgeable about both the history of the area and beer. He also went above and beyond to help me with secure a wayward package from a non-responsive Uber driver. Thanks, Greg! Would highly recommend for travelers and locals looking for a fun and informative afternoon.

We had a great afternoon visiting 2 breweries and a gin distillery in Marrickville. Lots of great information about the history and techniques of brewing and distilling were shared. Plenty of choices to sample at both breweries but the gin was my favourite. Would highly recommend.

Just done the Marrickville Craft beer tour with 4 mates. Was a great afternoon visiting 3 different breweries all a short walk apart. Danielle was our "Daves tours" host and she was awesome. As a brewer herself she really knew all about the world of beer making and no question was too hard for her. Would highly recommended as great fun afternoon if you like trying new beers and learning more about beers in general. Cheers

Great afternoon out with new friends on the Marrickville brewery tour. Only 10 minutes by train from Sydney CBS. A nice choice of beers and pleasant company and an excellent guided walk from Danielle!

Dave was a fantastic tour guide who shared so much historical info about the Rocks and the beers/pubs we visited. A great time for our group of 12.

I’m not really a beer drinker but my partner and friends enjoy trying craft beers. So I thought this would be a fun thing to do for his birthday!
Robin and Danielle took us to Batch, Sauce and Young Henry’s. Got to try some great beers and they opened my eyes to some different styles - I even bought some takeaways to enjoy at home 😉
Very informative commentary on the evolution of beer and some banter throughout the tour. I think I would like to do it again sometime.
Highly recommended.

I had an amazing day with my wife. I never appreciated craft beer, I turned my nose up to it. Until Matt taught me how it benefits local Australians, the amazing taste and flavour, the recent history. Thank you Matt.

Best tour in Sydney so far. Greg is knowledgeable, funny, and good at recommending beers. He even called Sydney Hospital when he found out one of us had been bitten by a spider several days earlier. Would highly recommend.

Terry took four of us to Batch, Sauce and Poor Toms. We had a great night. Terry is really informative and went out of his way to make sure we were looked after. We learnt so much from him and cannot recommend him high enough. Thanks for a great evening!!!!

I took the tour with Dave (not the original one) and was, in equal parts, fascinated, appalled and … absolutely enjoying the beer! If you want an insight into early Sydney don’t miss this!!

Such an amazing experience! The breweries were incredible but the experience would not have been so memorable if it wasn't for matt. Highly knowledgeable and all round just an amazing bloke who obviously loves his job.

Thank you Matt!
Malan, Augusta and tannie Lisa.

Dave’s brewery tour was a great experience. Our host was phenomenal and was able to answer beer related question without fail. If you love your craft beer this is the tour that you want to go on.

This was my second tour with Dave’s and I’ve really enjoyed them both. This one was to visit breweries on the Northern beaches.
The breweries we visited were great, as was the beer and lunch. Likely the highlight was a tour guide, Terry. Not only a careful driver, but very knowledgeable and informative and with a healthy store of “dad” jokes and humorous anecdotes!
I’ll certainly be booking another tour with Dave’s as it’s a lot of fun, with generally a bunch of fun, like minded people.
I would say that this particular tour included quite a bit of driving, and the minivan with advertising on the windows, didn’t really allow a great view of the delights of the northern beaches attractions!
Also the online booking process is a little tedious, with most tours showing available, then when you go to book, turns out is subject to numbers! If you’d had to juggle things to do the tour (as I had) with the prospect that the tour might not end up going, it’s a little frustrating. On the plus side, a couple quick phones with a very helpful young lady eventually sorted my booking with a little more certainty!
Overall though, I’d highly recommend the experience if you like beer and a fun day out!
