There are a number of food & drink tours available which run at different times throughout the year. Two of our favourite picks are:
- Brewerism Brewery Tours which offer a guided route around multiple breweries and drinking establishments. Unlike a standard tour, this multi-site approach gives insight into different types and styles of beer, and also gives you a true flavour of brewing in the area. There are multiple options to choose from...
