About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: American House Eyre Square, Galway H91 PHK1 Ireland
Note: The tour cost for this small group tour includes your guide and snacks for the evening. All beer (or other drinks are extra).
We will visit four bars scattered around Galway City each with a completely different atmosphere and selection of craft beers. The tour includes your guide, a maximum group size of ten people and all snacks. As much as this tour is about learning about Irish Independent Craft Beer, it’s about the pubs we visit. Non-Beer Drinkers and just Non-Drinkers will also love it!
Mon and Wednesday - Our tour starts at the Liam Mellows Statue located adjacent to Eyre Square (across the road from the large Galway Hooker sail statue).
Saturdays – We start at the Spanish Arch. Look for a metal red door beside the arch right across the square for Jury’s Inn.
We will be walking between bars, however the longest transfer is about 10 minutes. Please come prepared for the rain - it does happen here from time to time! As beer drinking is hungry work, you will have a small snack at each venue - our take on potatoes three ways.
We will introduce each beer, the style, little tidbits about the brewery and also the history of each venue and why we find it special.
As much as the tour is about beer, it is about Galway. We promise you will leave knowing a lot more about Irish independent beer and the wonderful places to drink it. We recommend doing this tour on you first night as you will leave with a tip sheets for amazing places to eat, drink and shop for the rest of your time in our great city.
We have a pre-arranged package if you want to go for this “All Inclusive” option, we ask that you bring 25 euro cash (or ask us about Paypal transfer options). This will get you a generous taste of at least 10 beers (minimum size 1/3 pint).
We also have choose your adventure (pay as you go) and Beer Drinker Lite options. Just get in touch if those are for you.
Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes

I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to have a fun few hours learning about and enjoying Irish craft beer while in Galway. Elle, who along with a partner created and designed this tour, was our host. Elle was outstanding – so welcoming and knowledgeable. She introduced us to a wide variety of craft beers and shared all sorts of interesting information about the beer companies, the industry, the pub business in Ireland, and more. She followed up with a full set of information about where we’d been and what we’d tasted. You won't be disappointed.
This tour was one of our favorite parts on our Irish adventure. Katie was very informative and full of energy. Many of the bars around Ireland are very commercialized. The bars you experience actually give you plenty of unique and delicious beers that you won’t find in most of the other bars. This is a fantastic way to experience/explore Galway!!
