I’m a local beer enthusiast and home brewer who secretly worked as a beer spy. I’ve been home brewing for over 5 years now, and have produced 200+ batches of beer. I’ve also tasted over 1500 different beers from all around the world. For the past few years I’ve been hosting beer tastings for friends, small teams and tour groups (up to 32 people).
Join me for a fun and informative tasting session and get to know Estonian beer beyond the boring big-name brands. I’ll introduce you to a handpicked selection of light and dark beers from a range of Estonian craft breweries, and teach you about beer styles, beer history, and beer culture.

What To Expect
We will taste 7 different types of Estonian craft beer while learning about the styles, history & tradition of making it. We will go over the brewing process, watch some quick illustrative videos and have a chat in a relaxed private tasting room around massive oak tables. You get to know what goes inside the beer other than water, why is India Pale Ale called like that or where is the worlds oldest running brewery. While talking about beer Ill throw in some local jokes & test your level of sensitivity. We locals have a pretty dark sense of humour. Im always open for suggesting best craft beer bars, specialty beer shops or places to eat great gourmet burgers or local cuisines. The 2 hour beer tasting session will go by so fast you wonna stay there for longer. Now you are advanced into a local beer expert & need to go practice around Tallinn oldtown & brag to your friends that you know what IPA stands for. Other things to note This is defenitely not a pub crawl or something generic any of you could do in a loud bar. Its a private event in ambiet tasting room specially prepared for bigger groups or lovely couples to enjoy the selection of best local craft beers not big brewery beers.

5.00I tasted and liked beers I never thought I'd like. The host, Martin Craft had chosen a wide selection from the lightest summerbeers to the darker "It's raining, I'll stay inside today" style of beers. I was impressed with the quality of the Estonian craft beers and Martins knowledge of these. I highly recommend that you start your Estonian holiday with this event.

5.00We had a great time with a very personal beer tasting. We got the opportunity to taste several great local craft beers and learned more than I had ever imagined about tasting, brewing methods, origins, history, information about the local town and many other things. Our host was extremely pleasant and easy to converse with. He did most of the talking and just poured out an incredible amount of knowledge, yet also asked us questions underway about the tastings and allowed us to actively partake in the experience. Overall a very positive experience that I can heartily recommend!
Craft beer expert!
