BEER TOURS · BEER TASTINGS IN MUNICH
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 5 beer tastings in Munich worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Meet under Munich’s Isartor arch for a two-hour food walk through the Old Town. You’ll taste three beers, Bavarian cheese, pretzels, Pfennigmuggerl, Leberkäse and fresh Schmalznudeln, with a guide speaking German or English.
“Schön fand ich, dass es noch Münchens Geschichte teilweise in die Tour integriert wurde”
At Haderner Bräu München, your German-speaking brewmaster guide leads a one-hour tour from grain and hops to finished beer. Taste malt, smell hop varieties, and sample four organic beers, including an IPA. English tours require advance request and at least eight participants.
“La guida era ottima! Un ragazzo giovane, pieno di entusiasmo. Ci ha spiegato molto bene il processo di preparazione della birra con annessi, connessi e possibili inconvenienti. Molto bravo, molto preparato. Unica perplessità, la guida era un praticante della birreria, chi lo sostituirà quando avrà finito il Praktikum?”
Spend 210 minutes eating your way through Munich with an English-speaking local guide and a group of up to 10. Try Schmalznudel, weisswurst, pretzel, Leberkäse, cheeses, charcuterie, desserts, honey wine, wheat beer, lager, and a secret dish while visiting Viktualienmarkt and a famous beerhall.
“Honestly this was a very pleasant experience. Loved our tour guide and the food that we had.”
Meet your guide at Munich Hauptbahnhof, learn Oktoberfest lore while walking to the grounds, enjoy lunch and beer at Augustinerkeller, then settle into a reserved festival table. Guides such as Jake, Christof, Monja, Eva, and Drew help first-timers navigate the day.
“Monja was a fantastic guide. Loved meeting new people in our group to experience our first Oktoberfest.”
Spend four to five hours with Sepp, a Bavarian-born guide, visiting Munich beer halls, cellars, and the Beer and Oktoberfest Museum. You’ll sample four half-liter beers plus a one-liter beer, share a snack board, choose a main dish, and finish with dessert.
“This is a must do while in Munich. Feel like a local and immerse yourself in the German beer and food culture. Sepp made our tour so much fun. 10/10 recommend.”
