It was enjoyable. And it was a craft beer tour not a pub crawl. Folks should know this. It was nice to see, hear and discover other beers besides the standard Guinness and Carlsberg offerings. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and fun. Not too much walking and there was plenty of time at each stop to enjoy and savor the beers. Michael did a nice job of listening to what our friends and I liked in terms of beer and was good at making recommendations for new ones for us to try.

The Perfect Dublin Afternoon for Beer Lovers
I had such a great experience on the Crafty Brew Tour with Michael. We visited five local pubs in Dublin, each with its own personality and vibe, all within a short walk of one another. It felt like a real look into the city’s craft beer scene.
Michael was a fantastic guide. He started by asking what kinds of beers I usually drink and what I tend to go for, and from there he tailored every stop with recommendations that matched my tastes. It made the whole tour feel personal and thoughtful.
I also appreciated that we kicked things off at a spot that served food. I had a really good lunch—an amazing burger that paired perfectly with my first beer—and it set the tone for a fun afternoon.
The whole experience was relaxed, easygoing, and a nice change of pace from the typical sightseeing. If you’re looking for something unique to do in Dublin while still getting a feel for the city, this is a great option. I’d absolutely recommend it.

Crafty Beer Tour: The Tastiest Way to Explore Dublin
I had an amazing time on the Crafty Beer Tour in Dublin! Michael, the owner and guide, is incredibly knowledgeable about Irish beers and makes the experience both fun and educational. Before the tour begins, he takes the time to ask what types of beers you like, then tailors the stops to suit your tastes.
We visited four great pubs, each with a unique selection of Irish brews. I learned a lot about Beamish stouts and the different styles of beers Ireland has to offer. The final stop at Cariobu was a highlight, Michael introduced me to Kinnegad Jackrabbit Ginger Beer over ice, which was absolutely delicious!
Beyond beer, Michael also knows the Dublin food scene and shares great recommendations along the way. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just looking for a fun, authentic Dublin experience, I highly recommend booking a tour with Michael.
