Join guide Paul for a three to four-hour walk along London’s Bermondsey Beer Mile. Visit five breweries, taste a half pint or two-thirds at four stops, learn about brewing and beer styles, then finish with optional drinks at The Kernel Brewery.

“Paul was an amazing guide who shared his vast knowledge about the beer industry. He made everyone feel welcomed. The tour group compromised of only 9 of us, so it was great to have such personalized attention and were able to listen to Paul’s stories and learn about the industry. We visited 5 breweries in the Bermondsey Beer mile and drank a variety of beers. Highly recommend this tour. My husband, and I had a great time. Everyone was great!”
