Amsterdam Craft Beer Brewery Tour by Bus with Tastings

Three hours, three breweries, countless memories — Amsterdam's craft beer scene awaits.


The Amsterdam Craft Beer Brewery Tour is the city's most immersive way to explore the thriving local brewing culture, granting insider access to three distinct craft breweries in a single afternoon. Led by an expert guide, this all-inclusive bus tour combines convivial company, genuine local knowledge, and beer tastings at every stop.

Amsterdam's craft beer revolution has been quietly reshaping the city's drinking culture for over a decade. Behind canal-side facades and repurposed industrial spaces, passionate brewers are producing IPAs, saisons, stouts, and sour ales that rival anything produced in Belgium or Germany.

This tour moves beyond the tourist-trail beer cafes to place guests directly inside working breweries, where the production process is as much a talking point as the finished product. Each venue brings a distinct identity, philosophy, and house style to the tasting table.

Travelling by bus keeps the group together and the pace relaxed, allowing time to absorb each brewery's story before moving on. The format suits first-time visitors and seasoned beer enthusiasts alike, with no prior knowledge required.

Tour Highlights

Visits to three of Amsterdam's top-rated independent craft breweries in a single tour.

Beer tastings included at every brewery stop, curated by your expert guide.

Comfortable bus transfers between venues — no navigating Amsterdam's busy streets on foot.

An expert guide provides context on brewing techniques, local history, and beer culture throughout.

All-inclusive pricing means tastings and transport are covered from the moment you step on board.

Convenient start and end point near Amsterdam Central Station for easy connections.
