Inner West brewery tours, all you do is taste.
Picture it: your crew, your own luxury bus, behind-the-scenes tastings across Sydney's Inner West Ale Trail, the densest craft beer cluster in the country. Marrickville and Newtown taprooms, an award-winning distillery, even a rooftop bar if you fancy it. Lunch sorted, a safe ride home, door to door. We collect you from anywhere in Sydney. You bring the thirst, we handle every last detail. Private, all-inclusive, for groups of 10 to 100.
See the craft beer day for yourself.
"Did a brewery and distillery tour last weekend while celebrating our friend's birthday and it was amazing. All the places had delicious drinks, Jared was very nice all times, explaining a bit of each spot and suggesting some beverages, great service overall. Can't wait to do it again."
"Jason was the best driver, so helpful and allowed us to have the best time. Every stop we had was beautiful and all staff were so friendly and accommodating. He made our experience even better, can't recommend him enough."
"Such great operators. Jared and crew are GREAT. Via email, SMS or phone call they are available. They make solid recommendations if they see timing problems with your itinerary. Luxury service. Luxury bus. Luxury driver. Expectations exceeded."
Inner West brewery tours done properly.
The best Inner West brewery tours do not happen by accident. They happen when someone who knows Marrickville, knows the brewers and knows how to look after a group plans the whole day for you. That has been us since 2016.
Sydney's Inner West is the craft beer capital of the country, more than 15 breweries packed into a 5km radius across Marrickville, Newtown, St Peters and Camperdown. We run guided, all-inclusive craft beer days through the best of it, with behind-the-scenes tastings, beer and spirit paddles and a lunch built in. Because the breweries sit so close together, you spend more time tasting and less time on the bus than anywhere else.
And here is the part most tours do not offer: free swaps. Trade any brewery for an award-winning distillery like Archie Rose, or finish on a Sydney rooftop bar, at no extra charge. With 45-plus venues to mix and match, you build the exact day your crew wants. Beer, spirits, views, your call.
Already sorted your own venues and just need the bus? We run the 14, 18, 27 and 41-seater fleet across Sydney as a private charter too. Sydney bus hire details here. Prefer the grape? Pair it with our Hunter Valley wine tours up north.
Bucks party, corporate team day, milestone birthday or hens weekend? Browse our Inner West tours and live dates, or email Jared to tailor a private day.
Your place, your hotel or the office. Two free Sydney metro pickups built in, one price, door to door, and no one stuck as the designated driver.

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 breweries we have built real relationships with since 2016, so you taste straight from the source and learn how the ales, lagers, hazies and ciders are actually made.
Beer paddles, spirit paddles, the brewers' stories and the small-batch pours you cannot get in a bottle shop. Quality over quantity, every stop.
What a brewery day looks like.
A typical full day. 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.
The Inner West breweries & distilleries we love.
Your exact line-up is tailored to your group and the day, drawn from the best craft producers on Sydney's Inner West Ale Trail.
Young Henrys
The Inner West icon. A buzzing Newtown brewery famous for its Newtowner pale and natural lager, often with live music and a crowd that knows its beer.
Batch Brewing Co
The original. Marrickville's first craft brewery, opened in 2013, pouring its much-loved American Pale Ale and West Coast IPA from a cracking little taproom.
The Grifter Brewing Co
Bold, fun and unmistakably Inner West. Home of the Pink Galah watermelon ale and a big, lively taproom built for a group.
Philter Brewing
Clean, sessionable and seriously decorated. Their award-winning XPA is a crowd favourite, poured in a slick taproom with a rooftop above.
Sauce Brewing Co
Adventurous and hop-forward, with a huge rotating tap list of hazy IPAs and experimental brews. One for the crew that likes to explore.
Wayward Brewing
A big warehouse brewery bar known for its sours, Belgian styles and the Charumati IPA. Plenty of room to spread out and settle in.
Willie the Boatman
A true local legend, home of the Albo Corn Ale and a warm, community feel. Always a highlight on an Inner West run.
Wildflower Brewing & Blending
Something special for the beer geeks. Wild-fermented, barrel-aged farmhouse ales made with native yeast. Unlike anything else on the trail.
Archie Rose Distilling Co
Sydney's multi-award-winning distillery, home of signature gin, vodka and single malt whisky. Swap in a spirits paddle to round out the day.
