What the Tour Covers

Scot Beer Tours runs guided walking tours that string together several of the city’s best beer venues, with a knowledgeable host explaining Scottish brewing history along the way. It turns a self-guided crawl into something more structured, with the stops and the tastings organised for you.

Who It Suits

This is a good fit for visitors who want an introduction to Edinburgh’s beer scene without researching every venue, and for groups marking an occasion. Because numbers are kept small, there is room to ask questions and actually talk to the guide.

Practical Tips

  • Book ahead, as small groups fill quickly
  • Wear comfortable shoes for the walking between venues
  • Tastings are included, so pace yourself across stops
  • Good option for visitors new to the city’s beer scene

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens on a Scot Beer Tour?

A guide leads a small group on a walking tour between several beer venues, with tastings included and commentary on Scottish brewing history. It is a structured alternative to planning your own crawl.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, groups are kept small so places are limited. Booking ahead is strongly recommended, particularly in summer and around festival season.
