Australia's craft beer capital

Sydney brewery tours, run from the Inner West.

The main Inner West breweries we run groups through are Philter Brewing, Sauce Brewing Co, The Grifter Brewing Co, Batch Brewing Co and Pickled Monkey Brewing in Marrickville, Wayward Brewing in Camperdown, Yulli's Brews in Surry Hills and BrewDog at South Eveleigh, with Archie Rose Distilling Co in Rosebery as the distillery stop. Your exact line-up is confirmed when you book and is built around your group.

Marrickville alone packs more craft breweries into a few square kilometres than anywhere else in the country, which is the whole reason this tour works. Because the taprooms sit within a few minutes of each other, a five-hour day gets you three breweries and a proper lunch instead of three hours on a bus. That is what separates a Sydney brewery tour here from a craft beer tour anywhere else in New South Wales.

Every tour is private. Your group gets the whole bus, your own playlist, a driver who knows the run, and all tasting fees paid up front so nobody is reaching for a card at the bar. Four tastings at every venue, taken as a beer paddle, two wines by the glass or two schooners, mixed and matched across the group.

Prefer spirits to beer? Swap any brewery for Archie Rose, Australia's most awarded distillery, or finish on a Sydney rooftop bar. There is no charge for the swap, and it is the thing groups come back for.

Already sorted your own venues and just need the bus? We run the 14, 18, 27, 41 and 57-seat fleet across Sydney as a straight private charter too. Sydney bus hire details here. Prefer the grape? Our Hunter Valley wine tours run two hours north.

Bucks party, corporate team day, milestone birthday or hens weekend? Prices for every group size are further down this page, or email Jared to tailor a private day.

Straight answer

What an Inner West brewery tour actually costs.

A private Inner West brewery tour in Sydney costs between $135 and $370 per person, and where you land depends almost entirely on how many of you there are. The three-brewery day with lunch is $159 per person for a group of 20 or more, $169 from 14 to 19, $190 from 7 to 13 and $240 for a group of four to six. Every one of those prices already includes the bus, the guide, all tasting fees and lunch. The cheapest way onto the trail is lawn bowls plus two breweries at $135 per person for 50 or more; the dearest is go karting for a group of five at $330 per person, because a private track booking costs the same whether five people or fifty turn up.

Small groups pay more per head, not because of the beer but because a bus, a driver and a venue booking cost the same either way. That is why the bands below are worth reading before you email us: adding four people to a group of ten often costs less in total than it does per head.

How it works

Booking a brewery day is this easy.

Four steps from "let's do it" to "best day ever". We do the heavy lifting, you bring the crew.

1

Pick your tour and group size

Every price band is on this page, so you know what you are paying before you speak to anyone. Not sure which tour fits? Email Jared and we will point you at it.

2

Choose your day and your swaps

Pick a date, then swap any brewery for a distillery or a rooftop bar at no extra charge. Three breweries, four, or beer and spirits mixed. Your call.

3

Book with a $200 deposit

That secures your private bus and your slots in the brewers' calendars. There is a 7-day grace period, and final numbers are due 2 weeks before the day.

4

We build your itinerary

You get a tailored run sheet within 24 hours, guaranteed, with unlimited tweaks until it is right. Then show up thirsty and we handle the rest.

Itinerary within 24 hours, guaranteed, plus unlimited reviews until you are 100% happy. That is the Urban Legends promise.

Free swaps, no extra charge

Build your perfect day out.

Most tours lock you into a fixed list. We do the opposite. Swap any stop on any tour for whatever your crew is actually into, beer, spirits or a view, all for the same price.

Swap in a brewery

Philter, Sauce, The Grifter, Batch, Pickled Monkey, Wayward, Yulli's and BrewDog. Four tastings and, on most tours, a behind-the-scenes look at every one.

Swap in a distillery

Trade a brewery for Archie Rose in Rosebery, Australia's most awarded distillery. Gin, vodka and single malt whisky flights for the spirits half of the group.

Swap in a rooftop bar

Finish high. Trade a stop for a Sydney rooftop and take two beers, two wines or a cocktail each while the sun goes down. Beer, spirits and views in one day.

Swap any stop · mix and match · same price

Behind the scenes, not just a bar

Meet the brewers. Taste the good stuff.

This is not standing at a counter for a quick schooner. We take you behind the scenes at the Inner West venues we have booked with since 2016, so you taste at the source and hear how the ales, lagers, hazies and ciders are actually made. On the four-brewery day and the Archie Rose day, that behind-the-scenes access is not open to the general public.

Four tastings at every stop, taken however you like: a beer paddle, two wines by the glass or two schooners, mixed and matched across the group. Every tasting fee is already in the price.

A day in the life

What a brewery day looks like.

A typical five-hour three-brewery run. Yours gets tailored to your group, your start time and your favourite drops. Start times are flexible, from a morning run to a sunset crawl, and lunch can become dinner on a later start.

10:00 am
Door-to-door pickup. We collect your group from your Sydney pickup point and point the bus at Marrickville.
11:00 am
Brewery one. A behind-the-scenes welcome at an Inner West taproom and your first four tastings. Meet the brewers, find your new favourite.
12:30 pm
Lunch, and a schooner with it. A food truck or brewery kitchen, booked ahead so there is no waiting around. Vegan and vegetarian at every venue.
2:00 pm
Brewery two, or swap in the distillery. More craft beer, or trade it for gin and whisky at Archie Rose. Your call, no extra charge.
3:30 pm
Last stop. One more brewery, a sunset rooftop, or an add-on like axe throwing or barefoot bowls if your crew booked one in.
5:00 pm
Safe ride home. Back on the bus, music on, everyone delivered home. No one had to drive.
Our favourite stops

The Inner West breweries and distilleries we book.

Every venue below is one we hold a direct booking relationship with. Your exact line-up is confirmed when you book and is built around your group and the day of the week.

Philter Brewing

Sydenham Rd, Marrickville

Clean, sessionable and seriously decorated. The XPA is the crowd favourite, poured in a slick taproom with a private rooftop upstairs for groups that want it.

Sauce Brewing Co

Mitchell St, Marrickville

Adventurous and hop-forward, with a big rotating tap list of hazy IPAs and experimental brews. Take the paddle or two wines by the glass, both are included.

The Grifter Brewing Co

Marrickville

Bold, fun and unmistakably Inner West. Home of the Pink Galah watermelon ale and a big, lively taproom that swallows a full bus without blinking.

Batch Brewing Co

Marrickville

The original. Marrickville's first craft brewery, pouring its much-loved American Pale Ale and West Coast IPA out of a cracking little taproom.

Wayward Brewing Co

Gehrig Ln, Camperdown

A big warehouse brewery bar known for its sours, Belgian styles and the Charumati IPA. Plenty of room to spread out and settle in for a while.

Pickled Monkey Brewing Co

Victoria Rd, Marrickville

One of the newer rooms on the Marrickville run and a good change of pace between two bigger taprooms.

Yulli's Brews

Crown St, Surry Hills

Just off the Inner West proper and worth the short run. Plant-based kitchen alongside the beer, which suits a group with a mixed set of dietaries.

BrewDog South Eveleigh

Locomotive Workshops, Alexandria

A cavernous room inside the restored Locomotive Workshops. The easiest venue on the list for a large corporate group that wants space and a full menu.

Archie Rose Distilling Co

Dunning Ave, Rosebery · Distillery

Australia's most awarded distillery, home of signature dry gin, vodka and single malt whisky. Swap a brewery for a spirits flight, a gin blending session or a reserved upstairs room.

Lunch usually lands at a brewery kitchen or a food truck on site. When a group wants to sit down properly we use Mary's or Rising Sun Workshop in Newtown, or the Tramsheds precinct at Forest Lodge.

Bucks, hens, corporate, birthdays

Put something between the breweries.

Five of the eight tours on this page pair the taprooms with something to do: axe throwing at Maniax in Marrickville, barefoot bowls at the Marrickville Bowling Club, ten pin lanes, or an exclusive go-kart track booking for your group only. Each one is a separate bookable product with its own price bands, so you are never quoting an add-on blind.

Prefer to stay on the beer? The three and four-brewery days and the harbour walk do exactly that. Your group gets the whole private bus either way, with your own playlist on the sound system.

No one goes thirsty

Every drinker sorted.

Four tastings at every venue, and how you take them is up to each person. Tell us your group's mix at booking and we build it in.

Beer lovers

A four-beer tasting paddle at every venue, poured at the source.

Casual drinkers

Not a big taster? Take two schooners of whatever you fancy instead.

Wine & spirits

Prefer the harder stuff? Two wines by the glass, or swap the stop for Archie Rose.

Non-drinkers

Soft drinks and alcohol-free options at every stop, and every venue is family-friendly.

Good to know

Inner West brewery tour questions.

Everything you need before you round up the crew. Still wondering something? Email Jared and ask.

How much does an Inner West brewery tour cost in Sydney?
Between $135 and $370 per person, depending on which tour you pick and how many of you there are. The flagship three-brewery day with lunch is $159 per person for a group of 20 or more, $169 from 14 to 19, $190 from 7 to 13 and $240 for a group of four to six. The four-brewery day starts at $179 per person for 20 or more, and the Archie Rose distillery tour with two breweries at $199. The cheapest option is lawn bowls plus two breweries at $135 per person for 50 or more. Every price includes the private bus, the driver and guide, all tasting fees and lunch. All 34 price bands across all eight tours are published on this page.
Which Inner West breweries and distilleries do you visit?
The venues we hold direct booking relationships with are Philter Brewing, Sauce Brewing Co, The Grifter Brewing Co, Batch Brewing Co and Pickled Monkey Brewing in Marrickville, Wayward Brewing Co in Camperdown, Yulli's Brews in Surry Hills, BrewDog at South Eveleigh in Alexandria, and Archie Rose Distilling Co in Rosebery. Your exact line-up is confirmed when you book and is built around your group size and the day of the week, because taproom capacity varies. We book your tastings before you arrive so there are no queues.
Is there a Sydney ale trail, and do you follow it?
Sydney's ale trail is the Inner West, and Marrickville is the middle of it. More craft breweries sit within a few square kilometres of Sydenham Road than anywhere else in the country, with Camperdown, Alexandria and Surry Hills a few minutes further out. That density is the whole reason this tour works: a five-hour day gets you three breweries and a proper lunch instead of three hours on a bus. We do not run a fixed public trail, because every tour is private and built around your group, but the venues above are the ones it draws from.
Can we swap a brewery for a distillery or a rooftop bar?
Yes, and there is no extra charge for the swap. Trade any brewery for Archie Rose in Rosebery, Australia's most awarded distillery, for a spirits flight, a gin blending session or a reserved upstairs room. Or finish on a Sydney rooftop bar with two beers, two wines or one cocktail each. Mix beer, spirits and views however your crew likes. Tell us at booking and we build it into your run sheet.
What is the smallest group you will take?
Four guests. The three-brewery day, the harbour walk tour, go karting and axe throwing all price from four. The four-brewery day, lawn bowls and ten pin bowling start at seven, and the Archie Rose distillery tour at ten. Small groups pay a higher per-head price because a bus, a driver and a venue booking cost the same whatever the headcount, which is why the price falls sharply as the group grows. The upper limit is 200 guests across multiple vehicles.
Where do you pick up from, and does it cost extra?
One pickup location anywhere in Sydney is included in every price, door to door, and we drop everyone back at the end of the day. Most groups start from home, a hotel or the office in the CBD, the Inner West or the Eastern Suburbs, but we collect from the North Shore, the Shire and Western Sydney too. If you need more than one pickup point, or your pickup is more than 30km from Redfern Station, that is $10 per person.
How many breweries are on an Inner West brewery tour?
Two, three or four, depending on the tour you pick. The classic day visits three breweries over five hours, the full day visits four over six hours, and the activity tours pair two breweries with lawn bowls, ten pin bowling, go karting or axe throwing. Every version includes four tastings per venue and lunch. Because the taprooms sit so close together you spend more time tasting and less on the bus. Extra stops can be added on request.
How long is an Inner West brewery tour?
Five hours for the three-brewery day and six hours for everything else, door to door. Start times are flexible: a morning brewery run, an afternoon session into a sunset rooftop, or a later start where lunch becomes dinner. We collect your group and have everyone home safe at the end of the day.
What is included in the brewery tour price?
A private luxury bus with door-to-door pickup from one Sydney location, a professional local guide for the full day, four tastings at every venue with all tasting fees paid, and a food truck or brewery lunch with a schooner included. Tastings are taken as a beer paddle, two wines by the glass or two schooners, mixed and matched across the group, and every venue has vegan and vegetarian options. Soft drinks and alcohol-free options are available at every stop. Not included: any extra drinks you buy at the bar, takeaways and gratuities.
What are the deposit and cancellation terms?
A $200 deposit secures the booking, whatever the group size, and you can book online for instant confirmation. There is a 7-day grace period after booking, and final passenger numbers are due 2 weeks before the day. Minimum passenger numbers apply per tour and are listed against each one on this page. Every venue operates under Responsible Service of Alcohol rules and all of them are family-friendly venues we would like to be invited back to.
Is an Inner West brewery tour good for a bucks or hens party?
It is one of the most-booked reasons groups come to us. Your group gets the whole private bus, its own playlist, a tailored brewery itinerary, four tastings a venue, free swaps to a distillery or rooftop and lunch, with a safe ride home at the end. Five of the eight tours pair the taprooms with an activity, so you can add axe throwing at Maniax in Marrickville, barefoot bowls at the Marrickville Bowling Club, ten pin lanes or an exclusive go-kart booking. The same day works just as well for a corporate team day or a milestone birthday.
Do you run accessible brewery tours?
Our own coaches are standard-entry vehicles with steps, so if a guest uses a wheelchair we bring in an accessible transport partner to run alongside the group rather than turning the booking away. Tell us at enquiry and we will confirm what we can arrange for your date, and weight the itinerary toward the venues with flat access and ground-floor taprooms. Several of the Marrickville and Alexandria rooms are large converted warehouses, which helps.
Can I hire a private bus without the guided brewery tour?
Yes. If you have already booked your own breweries and just need transport, we offer straight charter hire of our 14, 18, 27, 41 and 57-seat fleet across Sydney at a flat vehicle rate rather than a per-head one. See our Sydney bus charter page, or email Jared for a charter quote.
