What To Expect
On this easygoing beer adventure, you’ll explore Basel’s growing craft beer scene while visiting a mix of hip local breweries, cozy beer bars, and hidden gems only the locals know about. We’ll guide you through the streets of the city, stopping at 3–4 different locations where the beer is cold, the stories are flowing, and the vibes are just right. At each stop, you’ll enjoy curated tastings of different styles—from hoppy IPAs and smooth lagers to quirky seasonal brews and small-batch experiments. Along the way, you’ll learn about the history of brewing in Switzerland, how Basel’s beer culture is evolving, and maybe even chat with a brewer or two. But this crawl is more than just beer. It’s about meeting fellow travelers (and maybe a few locals), soaking in Basel’s atmosphere, and discovering places you’d probably never find on your own. Expect a good laugh, great brews, and a laid-back way to experience the city. Perfect for couples, solo travelers, beer nerds, and curious beginners—just bring your taste buds and a bit of thirst!

5.00The beer tour was very informative! Our guide, Lina, was really helpful and also taught us how to travel around Basel via local transport, recommending us the fastest way to get around the city and back to our hotel. She even gave us great food recommendations in Zurich and introduced us to the best donuts in Basel! The experience with the local brewery, Matt and Elly, was also really wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the beer tasters and they had AMAZING tapas as well. The owners of Matt and Elly also introduced to us the basics of beer brewing process and we got to explore a little and took a look at their fermenters! It was a great tour overall!
