EmailLooking for the best beers in Bristol? This clever location-savvy audio tour of Bristol's breweries and taprooms takes you straight to the source. Get ready to immerse yourself into this city's brilliant craft beer scene.
Everyone in your group will need their own set of headphones and an Android / iPhone, so each of you can follow the tour. Your friendly audio guide Heather will give you the back-story behind four breweries en-route and some more a short walk away. Surprising you with interesting facts about the buildings and areas you pass by. All of the audio, including a little beer-based knowledge, will be shared as you walk - so you can relax and chat amongst yourselves while enjoying your beers. Cheers!
At the second stop, you will have a table booked for you. Here you'll each enjoy three different third pints of delicious beers made on the premises. A member of staff will talk you through them and answer any questions you have. You will also be given a few snacks (crisps, etc) to munch on as you walk between venues.
For the remainder of the audio tour route, you can choose to stop for refreshments as many times as you like. As well as the four breweries, you will get the chance to enjoy a pint in an award-winning pub's beer garden, owned by Bristol Beer Factory.
So that you can plan future beer adventures in Bristol, while you walk you'll be given the story behind several other breweries and how to reach them. Your audio tour guide Heather will give you tips on some late-night drinking venues close to the end of the tour.
Please note:
Most of the beers brewed in Bristol are vegan. The venues along the route are dog friendly.
The total length of your tour will take will depend on how much beer you'll drink, how many stops you choose to make and your drinking speed.
There is one more brewery that Heather mentions on the audio as you walk past that has decided not to reopen their taproom just yet. When this reopens there will be six stops directly along the route.
