Craft Beer Tour in Bogotá

Three Bogotá beers, one easy walk. This small-group craft beer tour gives you 3 pub stops in about 3 hours, with beer tastings and a guide-led look at how brewing works. If you like lager styles, you will start strong and keep sampling through the evening neighborhoods. One thing to consider up front: snacks are not included, but you can buy food at each stop.

I like the built-in pacing here. Each stop runs about 50 minutes, so you get time to talk, taste, and ask questions instead of rushing through. The group is kept to a maximum of 10, which helps the guide keep the conversation going in English, with room for everyone’s questions.

The Value Sweet Spot for Craft Beer in Bogotá

This tour is priced at $59 per person, and for a 3 hour session that includes beer at every stop, it can work out to solid value. You are not just getting a quick tasting, you are getting tastings plus an actual beer served at each location, which is exactly how you want to experience craft beer without turning it into a token sip situation.

What also makes the price feel fair is the structure. A capped group, multiple venues, and a brewing explanation means you are paying for guided context, not just access to drinks. If you’re visiting Bogotá and want a local side of the city while staying social, this is one of those low-effort plans that still feels meaningful.

Finally, the tour is booked fairly often, with an average booking window of 74 days in advance. That’s a clue that good dates can sell out, especially for English-friendly tours.

Price and Logistics: What $59 Covers (and What It Does Not)

Here is the practical breakdown of what you get:

• Beer tasting and a beer at each pub
• A small group capped at 10
• English offering
• Around 3 hours total, built around three stops

What you do not get:

• Food snacks are not included, but you can purchase them at the pubs

This matters because beer tours can creep up on you fast. If you want to feel comfortable, plan for a meal before you go, or budget a small snack purchase during the tour. Since each stop is long enough for conversation, stopping for food is easy if you need it.

Also, your route is designed with city logistics in mind. The start and end points are both specific addresses, and the tour is near public transportation, which can save time when you are trying to get across Bogotá without overplanning.

Stop 1: Birrería Macha 80 and Its Lager-Focused Start

You begin at Birrería Macha 80 (Av Cl 80 #9-17). This first stop sets the tone because it is a local craft beer pub specialized in lager styles. That’s a smart way to start, since lagers give you a clear baseline for what you like, so you can compare flavors as the tour moves on.

Expect a relaxed pub vibe, with enough time for you to ask questions and pick up context as you taste. The tour timing gives you about 50 minutes here, which is long enough to do more than just drink. If you are into beer details, this is where the brewing story can click, because your first tastings give you something concrete to connect to the explanation.

Possible downside for some people: since it leans lager-forward, if your personal love is only IPAs or sour beers, you may need to pay extra attention to what is offered during your specific visit. The upside is that you still get to learn how brewing choices affect flavor.

Stop 2: El Irish Pub Zona T, a Popular Neighborhood Hangout

Next you head to El Irish Pub Zona T for another craft-focused stop. Zona T is one of Bogotá’s recognizable areas, so you get a mix of local energy and visitor-friendly atmosphere. The tour keeps it simple here, again with about 50 minutes.

This is a good place to slow down and chat. When the group is capped at 10, you tend to get more back-and-forth instead of feeling like you are watching the clock. You can also use this stop as your reality check. If you find one beer style is hitting better than another, this is the moment to confirm what you should order next in a bar on your own.

One practical consideration: this is a bar setting, so if you are sensitive to noise or crowds, pay attention to the vibe when you arrive. Still, the tour structure is designed to keep time at each place generous, so you are not trapped in a rushed shuffle.

Stop 3: MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER and the Brew-Process Feel

Your tour finishes at MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER (Cl. 83 #12a-11). This last stop is a microbrewery-style setting, which usually makes the brewing conversation feel more grounded. You are not just hearing about beer from a distance, you are tasting inside the kind of place where beer culture and production meet.

You get about 50 minutes at this final location as well, which is key. By the time you reach stop 3, your taste preferences are clearer, and you are more ready to ask smart questions. The tour includes learning about the brewing process, and ending here helps that education land.

This stop also matters for logistics. You start at Birrería Macha 80 and end at BRUDER, so you can plan your evening knowing where you will be when the tour wraps. It is a useful setup if you want to keep exploring Bogotá afterward, or if you prefer to end near an area with easy transport.

The Brewing Lesson That Helps You Drink Better After

The best craft beer tours do two things: they feed your curiosity, and they make you a better beer chooser later. This one aims for both. You get a generous range of tastings, plus guidance on how brewing works and how beer fits into Colombian beer culture.

One detail that comes through strongly in the guide experience is the way Lina is described as engaging, technical when she needs to be, and able to turn beer education into actual conversation. That combination is what makes a big difference. When a guide explains brewing in a way you can follow, the tastings stop being random. You start connecting flavor to process.

What I think you should look for during the tour:

• Ask what makes a beer style different from another, especially since you start with lager-focused beer
• Pay attention to how the guide links brewing steps to what you are tasting
• Use stop 2 and stop 3 to compare what you liked earlier

By the end, you should feel more confident ordering on your own. Even if you only take away a few practical ideas about brewing, that can make the rest of your Bogotá beer nights much more fun.

Who This Tour Suits Best, and Who Might Skip It

This tour is a great fit if you:

• Enjoy craft beer and want guided tastings instead of picking randomly
• Like a social plan with a small group, maximum 10 travelers
• Want a local feel without needing to research every bar first
• Are comfortable drinking beer in a paced schedule for about 3 hours

It can be less ideal if:

• You hate the idea of alcohol included in your day plan
• You want food included, since snacks are not part of the tour package
• You have very specific style preferences that do not line up with a lager-forward start

If you are traveling solo, this kind of group tour can be a welcome break. If you are traveling with friends, it still works, because the small group size keeps the experience from becoming chaotic. And since the tour is offered in English, it is also one of the easier craft beer options if your Spanish is still a work in progress.

Should You Book the Bogotá Craft Beer Tour?

Yes, you should book this one if you want a guided, low-stress way to taste multiple local craft beer places in Bogotá while learning the brewing process. At $59 for about 3 hours, with beer tasting and a beer at each pub, it offers clear value for beer lovers, especially when you prefer a small-group experience.

Also, if you like the sound of a lager-focused first stop and a microbrewery-style finish, the structure makes sense. And with a 4.7 rating and 92% recommendation, it is not just a popular idea, it is landing well for people who care about beer and conversation.

If you are the type who needs a full meal included, or you are not interested in brewing basics, then you might feel the lack of snacks. But if you are happy to grab food at the pubs as you go, this tour is one of the more practical ways to understand Bogotá beer culture fast.
