Capital 3 in 3
Beer-ducation in the Capital. Three breweries, three and a half hours, every pour led by the people who made it.
What this tour actually is
Beer-ducation in the Capital
If you’ve only got an afternoon, this is the one. Three of Canberra’s most-awarded independent breweries, three and a half hours, and an energetic guide who knows the makers and their stories.
We take care of all the details so you just need to bring your thirst — for drinks, food and knowledge. We like to keep our tours small so you can get to know the makers, see their production process, and ask any questions you’ve got.
What you’ll actually do
You’re not standing behind a viewing window. At every stop you’re on the floor with someone who works there — talking ingredients, water, fermentation, the things that make Canberra beer different to anywhere else in Australia.
Late arrivals
Running late? Call ahead. We’ll wait where we can, but the coach moves on time so the schedule holds for everyone.

FAQ
Why three breweries in 3.5 hours?
Because that's the sweet spot for a quality afternoon — long enough to actually meet the brewers, short enough that you're home (or out for dinner) by 6pm.
Can the tour run if there are fewer than four guests?
We'll always confirm 48 hours out. Tours run with as few as four guests on the standard schedule.
Will the itinerary always be the same?
Because our brewery tours are behind-the-scenes experiences, sometimes our plans need to change. The format and number of stops won't.
Going for a longer trip?
Most guests pair a half-day with a full-day. Mid-week and Sunday tours are quieter and just as good.
