About Hop On Brewery Tours
Hop On Brewery Tours is an independent, locally owned operator that takes groups around craft breweries and distilleries. Guides pick everyone up in a private air-conditioned van, so the group can relax and sample without worrying about getting home. The Brisbane range includes a full-day inner-city run with lunch and four breweries, a half-day Dash of Brisbane visiting three breweries, and a half-day distillery tour built around gin and native botanicals. Northern Exposure, Southern Sessions and Eastern Expedition each cover four breweries in one part of the city. Every tour starts with the basics of what goes into beer, then heads behind the scenes at one or more venues to meet the brewers and see the production floor. The aim is to help guests work out which styles they enjoy, so it suits beer novices as much as keen home brewers. For something more active, combo tours add go-karting, a short virtual reality game or a detective-style street game before the tastings begin. The team will also put together a custom itinerary for birthdays, hens and bucks parties, corporate days and end-of-year celebrations. All tours are 18+ with photo ID required, and public tours need at least four guests to go ahead. Send an enquiry with your date and group size to plan a private run.
