A fantastic day out with Lewis, touring the local breweries. Great scenery, lunch, beers and an entertaining day hosted by Lewis. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Queenstown. (Even for one of us, a non beer drinker, thoroughly enjoyed Lewis’s recommendations) Thanks for a great day

What a great day. Small enough to be intimate and personal. Meeting people you never would otherwise. Learnt about the area and tasted and learnt so much about craft beer. One of the best holiday activities I've done. Lewis was brilliant.

What an awesome day, Lewis was an amazing guide so full of beer and local knowledge, with lots of laughs along the way, the breweries, beers and lunch were all excellent. A must do tour in Queenstown. Thanks Lewis

Lewis is an engaging, incredibly genuine kiwi bloke and I can think of no better operator to take people through the area. Some awesome insights that only a true local could provide with a healthy accompany of beer to boot make this an excellent experience.

Fabulous experience! Lewis was a great driver and guide. My husband and son love beer and they were really impressed with the variety and quality of the beer offered. I’m not a beer drinker and even found a few I liked. Wine and cider were also very good. Highly recommend booking this locally owned and operated tour.
