Our mission is to help the neighbourhoods
we love grow and prosper.
Montreal Craft Beer Tours offer walking tours of the unique brewpubs found within the city, while incorporating the history and culture of the neighbourhood.
The tours are led by certified local guides, taking you off the beaten path, showing you the authenticity of the city and, of course, talking you through the how-to’s of beer tasting and food pairings.
About
Our mission at Montreal Craft Beer Tours is to provide you not only with an experience of Montreal’s local products and artisans, but also with a taste of Montreal herself. We want to encourage people to step out of their comfort zone, and truly come into contact with what the city has to offer.
It is an honour working with local employees and the artisans behind these brewpubs. We believe that it is important to connect, support and develop relationships with the craftsmen and women, and innovators at the heart of these companies.
Sustainable tourism philosophy
We practice a sustainable tourism philosophy where we ensure that each restaurant we visit is paid fairly for the great food they serve us, and that the wait staff receives proper gratuities for their service.
We keep our tours small (maximum 16 people per tour) which won’t overcrowd the street or overwhelm our tasting locations. We believe that our forward-thinking strategy will sustain an incredibly positive relationship between us, the restaurants, and the local residents.
Our philosophy ensures that our participants get the best experience possible. Finally, we carefully select only the most passionate and friendly local tour guides who can answer all your questions and give you the best tour possible.
