Our tour guide Matt's excellent knowledge of the local craft breweries & the various beers on offer was top notch.
Highly recommend.
Our host, Joslyn, was outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable about beer, spirits, and wine production, and shared her expertise in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. She paced the tour perfectly and tailored it well to our group, making the experience both informative and relaxed.
The breweries we visited were all excellent, with fantastic tastings at each stop. The food provided during the tour was also outstanding high quality, generous in portion, and more than adequate.
Overall, it was a well-organized, enjoyable, and memorable day. Highly recommended!
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!
