Marrickville Brewery Tour

About this tour

Walk through Marrickville's craft beer precinct on a guided 2.5-hour tour of three independent breweries. You'll see production floors, learn how each operation began and what drives their brewing philosophy, and taste their range alongside your guide's insights into beer ingredients and technique. It's a proper look at Sydney's indie beer scene from someone who knows the terrain.

Highlights

• Three brewery visits with tastings at each stop
• Behind-the-scenes access to production facilities and equipment
• Local guide explains brewing process and brewery histories
• Dave's Pub Tour hat and bottle opener to take home
• Flat walking route through Marrickville's beer triangle

What to expect

Expect roughly 50 minutes of walking across three brewery visits, with time spent inside each space learning how they operate. Your guide will walk you through fermentation, ingredients, and the ethos behind each brand before you taste their beers. The pace is steady but not rushed—you're stopping frequently to talk and sample. Breweries vary in size and setup, so each visit feels distinct. Bring comfortable shoes and an appetite for detail about how beer actually gets made.
