Estonian Craft Beer Tasting & History

1. Estonian Craft Beer Tasting & History

We will taste 7 different types of Estonian craft beer while learning about the styles, history & tradition of making it. We will go over the brewing process, watch some quick illustrative videos and have a chat in a relaxed private tasting room around massive oak tables. You get to know what goes inside the beer other than water, why is India Pale Ale called like that or where is the worlds oldest running brewery. While talking about beer Ill throw in some local jokes & test your level of sensitivity. We locals have a pretty dark sense of humour. Im always open for suggesting best craft beer bars, specialty beer shops or places to eat great gourmet burgers or local cuisines. The 2 hour beer tasting session will go by so fast you wonna stay there for longer. Now you are advanced into a local beer expert & need to go practice around Tallinn oldtown & brag to your friends that you know what IPA stands for. Other things to note This is defenitely not a pub crawl or something generic any of you could do in a loud bar. Its a private event in ambiet tasting room specially prepared for bigger groups or lovely couples to enjoy the selection of best local craft beers not big brewery beers. I suggest to not come with empty stomach.

We really enjoyed the tour and so glad we did it. Really recommend it as a way to explore the city with stops to get out of the cold! We were touched with what we learned and were told from the guide’s personal experiences of growing up and living in Estonia. We never would have stumbled on the food stops that we went to and we really enjoyed all of the stops - there was plenty of food and drinks - definitely come hungry!

Pau our guide was exceptional. Very informative with a good mix of history, culture and of course the food. Been on food tours before but this is a lot of food. We really enjoyed Tallin and would definately go back. We would not have been able to experience the foods without being on the tour. Thank you so much Pau.

Fun way to learn about the different local beers & their brewing history. Our guide was warm, friendly & extremely knowledgeable with excellent english language skills! A good event to start any evening with friends.
