3.Street Art & Craft Beer Walking Tour with Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 14 reviews · 3 hours · from $89

Walk from Olympic Village Square through Mount Pleasant’s mural-filled streets, enter Beaumont Studios, and taste local beer at Electric Bicycle Brewing and BREWHALL. English-speaking guides such as Erica, Andrew, and Fran bring local stories, with four 4-ounce tasters and one craft beer included.

“Rather than a pub crawl where tasting (drinking) is the objective, the first two hours were focused on the plethora of large public art murals in the Mt Pleasant area of Vancouver. Fran was able to also bring us into several artists' studio/workspace, personalizing the artists ant their work. In the finl hour we sampled at two smaller craft breweries. Four rather than five stars because I felt the focus was not balanced between the crafts of the displays and the tastings. While we had several opportunities to rest, use the facilities, and even quaff a can of beer, saving the actual tasting to the end felt too much like…”
