5.00This was very cool! Tour guide Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and it was a great way to taste local Scottish beers in a place with a fascinating backstory.

3.00I came to the bar where it was the meeting point and I let the host know that I was there, and they asked me to wait for the group. I grabbed a drink and waited . It was already past 10 minutes after the beginning of the tasting and I had to ask again. Another person told me the group already left. No idea how did they miss me why they didn’t let me know , it was not announced. Finally, they took me to the place where the group was, the cave. The beers were good and explanation about them.. It was good, but that was all. I saw it was going to be more about the history of the place more than sitting in a room to drink beer. I was excited about this and I was expecting way more
Very enjoyable and we...

3.00Overall an alright experience, got to test out and be given some background information on local breweries. This was the first formal beer tasting that I’ve done and felt that it perhaps could have been slightly more dynamic. However, part of that may have been because it was simply myself and one other solo traveller. The session in total lasted about 45 minutes, which perhaps seemed somewhat short.
Cody good time
