Tasting local beers and panisses from Nice

About this tour

Spend an hour sampling four craft beers brewed in and around Nice, guided by someone who knows the scene. You'll taste each one properly—learning how to spot flavours and aromas—while nibbling on panisses, the local chickpea fritter. The beers are picked for their character and regional roots, and your guide explains what makes each one tick: the brewing methods, local ingredients, how they pair with food. It's a proper tasting, not a tourist checkbox.

Highlights

  • Four locally brewed craft beers, 12.5 cl pours each
  • Learn to identify aromas and flavour profiles
  • Crispy panisses paired with every sample
  • Expert guide shares brewing techniques and terroir stories
  • 100% regional selection, no commercial brands

What to expect

You'll gather in a relaxed setting where the guide walks you through each beer in turn. They'll explain what's in the glass—yeast strain, hop varieties, how local water affects the flavour—and show you how to actually taste it. Between sips you'll eat panisses, which cut through the alcohol and complement the brews. The guide encourages questions and keeps it conversational rather than formal. By the end you'll have picked up genuine tasting skills and know which breweries are worth seeking out in Nice.

Good to know

Arrive sober to get the most from the tasting. The experience is gentle on the palate and the portions are modest. It's wheelchair accessible throughout. Public transport gets you there easily. The tasting is educational, so bring curiosity rather than assumptions about what good beer should taste like.
