Eye opening tour
We had a fantastic time with Julian and visited places we would never have found by ourselves. The tour really opened our eyes to the range of craft beer in Hanoi and Vietnam more generally - who knew?!? Julian was also kind enough to give us some recommendations for the following evening we were in Hanoi so between that and the Hanoi ale trail we were set. I think Overmorrow’s dragonfruit ipa will be a favourite for a long time to come!

A unique way to experience Hanoi!
Excellent tour with a super knowledgeable guide; wonderful selection of unique craft beer. Fun, filling and highly recommended.

One of our highlights in Hanoi
We had an amazing time with Brian on our 5 plus-hour Craft Beer Tour. It exceeded our expectations. Brian and a driver (in a nice van with A/C) picked us up from our hotel and drove us to two different breweries (Overmorrow and Labtory) and two craft beer restaurants along with a stop on “chicken street” for food in the middle. Additional finger foods were provided all along the way. We tasted 15 different beers on this tour. Brian gave us nice gifts from the Taste of Hanoi - he is one of the owners and clearly cares about his business. The bag and koozie were both worth taking home. We enjoyed the entire trip but loved all the beers from both Overmorrow and Labory the most. Getting to know the owners of those breweries and their businesses was fascinating and an added bonus. Brian is an excellent guide and business owner. He was so easy to work with. We coordinated quite a bit before our group even left for Asia. He offered great suggestions and helped us with other planning. I highly recommend this tour and Taste of Hanoi.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Original Craft Beer tour of Hanoi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does The Original Craft Beer tour of Hanoi cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Original Craft Beer tour of Hanoi take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Hanoi is not rushed.
Is The Original Craft Beer tour of Hanoi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Original Craft Beer tour of Hanoi?
+
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 The Original Craft Beer tour of Hanoi suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book The Original Craft Beer tour of Hanoi?
+
Around 22 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Original Craft Beer tour of Hanoi 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. 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 Hanoi?
+
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 Hanoi?
+
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.
