Joyful experience
Our guide "Cliff" made my day! I leaned so much about Berlin and all the beer related culture of the city and more ! All of it delived in a very cheerful way! Thanks!
via Tripadvisor
Great afternoon of beer, conversation, and information!
Cliff was great, super knowledgeable, kind, and adapted great to one of our gluten free needs. The beers were delicious and the walk through neighborhoods and info Cliff provided about the history of Berlin and the challenges craft brewers have was next level!
via Tripadvisor
Great experience!
This tour/experience was awesome! Not only did we try some amazing beers we learned so much about beer, Germany’s beer history, and the modern day beer culture. Cliff was a wealth of knowledge and information and had great recommendations. We would do this again on our next visit to Berlin and if you are a beer fan, we would highly recommend.
via Tripadvisor
Fantastic tour!
One of those experiences that instantly jumps to the top of my “best tours ever” list. If you’re a beer enthusiast this tour is pure magic. Throughout, Cliff wove in stories about local brewers, beer history, and why certain pairings worked scientifically. The pace was perfect—not rushed, with time to chat, laugh, and savor. This tour turned a casual afternoon into an unforgettable celebration of beer. Highly recommend!
via Viator
Do not miss this tour !!!!
This is a perfect example of a tour that exceeds your expectations. Cliff is a passionate guide who will teach you (more than you might think) about German beer, about microbrewery culture, and about how this culture is taking root in Germany. The experience is unique, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to venture off the paths usually taken by tourists. There is no chance that you will regret it. Enjoy the tour!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Berlin.
How much does Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Berlin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Berlin is not rushed.
Is Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 284 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Berlin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience?
+
Around 99 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Berlin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Berlin and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Berlin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Berlin?
+
On Outty we rank every Berlin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Berlin's Best: 2 Hour Walking Tour Third Reich and the Cold War, Third Reich Berlin: Hitler and WWII Walking Tour, Explore Berlin: See All The Iconic Sights & Some Hidden Gems. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Berlin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Berlin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Dinner; Alcoholic beverages; and Local guide with home-brewing experience and a Cicerone beer server certification. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Transportation to/from attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is Berlin's first original craft beer tour & experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
