Experience Details

Beer: it’s one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in the world, the most widely consumed, and it was integral to daily life in Newfoundland since Europeans first landed on the island. Come with us and learn about Newfoundland’s long and rich beer history, from our earliest brewing endeavours to our thriving modern craft beer industry.


On this tour you’ll enjoy a wide variety of local brews, from a sour brewed with Newfoundland sea salt to a complex stout with ales and lagers in between. We’ll make stops at three different breweries and bars for stories and tales and 7 samples of beer brewed right here.


Along the way your guide will entertain you with stories of prohibition and the gangsters that came with it, an accidental port discovery, and the local beer connection to Jimmy Kimmel. In addition, our local guides give you a crash course on how to taste craft beers, while sharing their knowledge, recommendations, and personal anecdotes about how St. John’s became the city it is today.
