Alex, our tour guide, was Amazing! He was very informative and passionate about St. Augustine. He gave us much interesting facts about this old city as well as the craft beers we tasted.

This was an absolutely wonderful tour. Our host made sure there were a variety of beers to sample as well as some great local snacks along the way. We also enjoyed the history as we walked between each brewery. I would definingly recommend this to anyone in the area.

Alex and his adorable wife and staff in training were super knowledgeable and great speakers. Lots of beer. Great stories. Go on first day you travel here because they have a lot of great food tips. Really enjoyable tour.

Awesome tour!

Christina_K, Mar 2022

Alex was an excellent tour guide. He shared a lot of fun history about Saint Augustine and the beers.

Phenomenal Tour!

Michael_T, Mar 2022

My hubby and I both love to try new beers, so I thought this would be a fun addition to our trip and I booked it without knowing what to expect. I had no idea how awesome it would be! Alex is very knowledgeable about beer and about the history of St Augustine. I would highly suggest you do this first, before any other sightseeing or dining out, because he gave us very valuable tips that made our trip that much more enjoyable. The beer was good and I tasted and liked some beers that were out of my comfort zone. The walking part of this trip was not an issue at all. Go into it with an open mind and a fresh palate…you will not be disappointed!

Great Ale Trail tour

Steve_H, Feb 2022

Nice off the main trail history along with good beer selections. Alex did an Outstanding job!! And spent a lot of time with us.

Great beer, food and history in St. Augustine

Mark_C, Feb 2022

What an awesome experience! Alex was a wealth of knowledge not only about the variety of beers we were tasting, but about the history of St. Augustine. This was a great way to see the city and experience some great beer and food. We went back the following day to a few of the spots we hit on the tour. We will definitely book another/different tour with Alex.

Awesome beer and history experience!

lou_l, Dec 2021

The whole experience from booking the tour, pre-tour check-in and of course the tour itself was amazing. Alex was engaging, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and just a lot of fun. He provided beer history, brewing history and really interesting St. Augustine history that really tied the whole tour together. He suggested that we keep an open mind on certain beers and to try to not let preconceived notions get in the way of experimenting - and he was spot on! I became a fan of sour beers and now willing to dabble more into this style. Took my son and son-in-law (we’re all beer aficionados) and we had a great time. I just made the move to FL and this will be a must-do when my beer loving friends co e to visit. Thank you Alex!

More than just a great beer tour

Diane_S, Nov 2021

Alex gave a great tour incorporating beer knowledge as well as local history. It was a great way to spend part of the day and see sites we maybe have passed by otherwise. Would love to take the tour again our next time we are in town!

Beer and a history lesson - too fun!!!

Andy_W, Sept 2021

Alex was incredible and very excited to share his knowledge of both the local beer scene and the history of the area. It was way more than just a pub crawl and we had a blast!

Excellent way to spend an afternoon

Angie_N, June 2021

Excellent time out learning about local history and craft beer. Guide was approachable, friendly and made it his priority to make sure all had a good time.

Worth it!

Nora_R, Apr 2021

Alex was great. Excellent knowledge and stories. Got the whole group involved. Three stops but so much more than 3 beers! Lots of tastings and autonomy to make your own choice at the end.

Great tour!!

Jocelyn_V, Mar 2021
