About this tour
When Jake from our BugBitten team booked this Spanish craft beer tasting, he found himself in a compact session with a certified beer sommelier who walked through six exclusive brews you won't spot in the average bar. The two-hour experience covers tasting technique, proper pouring, and food pairing principles — less about getting drunk, more about understanding what's in your glass. It's the kind of thing that appeals to beer nerds and curious drinkers alike, pitched at a level that doesn't require prior knowledge to enjoy.

- Compact two-hour window keeps pace brisk and focused

What to expect
Jake turned up to find a relaxed, small-group setup where the sommelier covered the basics of what to look for in a beer — colour, aroma, body, finish — before working through each sample methodically. The pace was conversational rather than lecture-heavy; plenty of time to ask questions and chat about flavour profiles. Each beer came with pairing suggestions, so you're not just tasting in isolation.
The venue itself was intimate, designed for focused tasting rather than a party atmosphere. Two hours moves steadily but doesn't feel rushed. You'll sip, absorb information, and discuss, which beats racing through a lineup. The emphasis sits on understanding craft brewing quality and developing your palate rather than volume.

Good to know
This works well for anyone keen to learn beer tasting from someone who knows their stuff, whether you're a casual drinker or a hobbyist. The exclusive beers angle means you're sampling things genuinely hard to track down elsewhere. Two hours is a realistic window — long enough to learn without fatigue.
Not suitable if you're pregnant. Early starts or late finishes may affect your schedule depending on their slot times. Public transport is nearby but confirm exact location before booking. Small-group sizes mean limited availability; book ahead. Walking and standing are assumed. Children under 18 aren't permitted. Expect some alcohol consumption, even if it's modest tasting pours.
Notebook if you want to jot tasting notes. Water to cleanse your palate between samples is usually provided. Wear neutral-coloured clothing if you're particular about beer splash marks.
