Matt has nailed the balance, but his passion and personality really make it special.
You also drink a lot of interesting beers, so a huge green tick.
Matt our guide was a legend. Funny and engaging - and boy does he know his beer. We learned so much about the craft beer scene in Brisbane, visiting 3 breweries and sampling 14 different beers along the way.
If you are in a couple, small group or by yourself, this is a MUST do activity for anyone when you visit Brisbane.
Thanks Matt (David & Chris, UK)
My only bugbear was booking thru Viator and their outrageous exchange rates! €1.18 / AU$1 😱🤬 The current rate is €1.67 / AU$1 - not good @viator! Left a sour taste to an otherwise fabulous day. An error I won’t be repeating 🤯 My advice: book direct!
We’ll definitely be hopping on another tour. The full day would be well worth it!
Never given a review on TripAdvisor before, but very happy to jump on and let people know that this is well worth every dollar. Thanks Jocelyn.
A great day out for those who like independent ales and a chance to taste a wide variety !! - highly recommended!!
A great fun day with the beermeister and some great craft beers, ales, stouts and even a few ginger beers along the way - highly recommended!!
Our host, Matt, was fantastic—super knowledgeable not only about beer but also about the local brewing scene. Honestly, he could have easily joined us as one of the crew.
A solid 5 stars from us! We’ll definitely be back—maybe for a winery tour next—and we’ll be recommending it to everyone we know.
But also beer, so much beer! Variations and styles from ranging pilsner's and coconut infused biscuit beer to lagers and dank hazies. Guaranteed to keep any enthusiast satiated and merry!
If you enjoy beer, want to learn more about beer and want check out what the QLD beer scene has to offer, I highly recommend booking a tour with Hop on!
Matt was extremely knowledgeable and was even able to find me some beers that I now like! Which I thought was impossible!!
Highly recommend this tour!
You'd be mad to miss it!
Definitely come thirsty—the beer is flowing. And even come hungry—our lunch at a brewery + pizza spot was next level.
Our guide/ the owner was SUPER knowledgeable, and passionate. This is absolutely the ideal job for him! Refreshing!
The only tweak I’d make is to spend less time at the 4th brewery (or nix it) and do some sightseeing around the area, to get a better feel for the vibe. Or perhaps offer a version of the tour that is a brewery + food tour.
The day was amazing and our tour guide was knowledgeable and happy to join in on the fun.
Couldn't be happier :)
We booked this via email and the communications were great. Matt and Joslyn put a special tour together for us to ensure we visited new breweries and sampled different beers. We were in a small group of 5 + Joslyn and all got in really well, tasting plenty of great beers along the way.
If we lived locally we’d be doing this tour 3 or 4 times a year. Well worthwhile and excellent value for money. Go on, book it, you definitely won’t be disappointed!
It was a small group (only 6 of us) so it was really quite personal and Matt ensured he catered to all our likes. It was super fun and OMG, the beer was terrific and plentiful. I could not have asked for better.
This tour was gifted to me and I will definitely be doing another one with Hop On Brewery Tours along with buying gift vouchers for others. Thank you Matt for a truly great and memorable day.
Matt is such a friendly and knowledgeable guy. I learnt so much about beer on this tour. I also drank a lot of beer on this tour
Highly recommend for beer enthusiasts, special occasions (i.e. birthdays or bucks parties) or just for a day well spent learning about beer and sampling some of Brisbane’s best.
Thanks Matt and the Hop On Brewery Tours crew!
