Beerwanderers connects hikers and beer enthusiasts with guided beer-hike and brewery experiences across Bavaria. Founded to spotlight small breweries and scenic trails, Beerwanderers offers private tours that combine walking routes, traditional Bavarian food, and local beers.

Each experience pairs physical routes—such as the Fünf Seidla Steig®, Dragon Slayer Way, Tegernsee highline, and sections of the Pilgrim’s Way—with scheduled stops for tastings and regional meals. Several tours are led or developed in collaboration with beer expert and author Rich Carbonara, especially routes that highlight brewing history and local beer culture.
