About
Discover the finest beers and breweries one stop from Sydney’s Central Station. Our Sydney Brewery Walking Tour weaves through the up and coming neighbourhoods of Alexandria & Redfern!
The three venues we visit on this tour are all under 5 years old, so these new beer kids on the block are fighting hard to establish themselves in a thirsty city. Your Dave for the day will tell you their story and you might even meet an owner brewing.
We’ll of course cover all the excellent beer stuff we always do, covering history of beer, ingredients, a technical tour of a brewery and a beer tasting session at each brewery to balance out the walking.
