I never thought of myself as a beer lover, but went on this tour with my husband. Fascinating Brewery talks with beer samples included in the price. Turns out I love beer. Dan knows so much about Lewis and, of course, beer - all imparted with great knowledge and humour.
The best way to drink you're way across the incredible Lewes beer scene!

We had a brilliant tour of Lewes breweries with Dan - he's super knowledgeable and entertaining and answered our many questions! Would definitely recommend as a thing to do in Lewes - lots of knowledge also about the beautiful town in addition to the load about beer. Plus, all of the 6, 7, 8(?) different beers that were included were delicious and he was happy to switch out any we didn't want to try. Thank you Dan!
Knowledgeable host with some great taster's

Dan is a very knowledgeable bloke who obviously has a passion for the area and ofcourse the amazing beer the area produces. Everyone knows about Harvey's and quite rightly so, but the two up and coming other breweries we visited produce some amazing products which I will be visiting again on my next nights out in Lewes. I never knew they existed until now and glad that I have 2 new places to eat/drink when I visit the area as these are just not breweries but places to visit to eat/drink. One of the brewers took some time out to explain his journey and answer questions which again shows the customer love these people have. Don't expect to see how the beer is made, and the itninary doesn't suggest it will, but what you will get is a grand tour, alot of history and knowledge and ofcourse various samples of what the area can offer. Book it 🍺🍻
Brilliant!!!!!

Absolutely loved loved this tour. Went a long with a friend from Brighton and a friend from New York as an early birthday celebration for myself! Had never been to Lewes so loved the town but the beer tour was fantastic! Dan is not only super knowledgeable but also great fun! I loved every part of but especially Beak, good job I don't live in Lewes I might never leave Beak, Beak Brewery v KCBC is literally my favourite beer at the moment! Thanks again to Dan and Ally and the others who made it a fantastic day out on a very sunny day!
A wonderful beery look into Lewes

A top quality tour, with a top quality host!
