Lancaster History and Craft Beer Walk

Overview

Content rich and carefully researched, you will get an insider's pass to the past, with stories and context that bring the city alive and guarantee an experience unavailable anywhere else. We’ll explore the rich and fascinating history of our beautiful city and learn the out-sized roll our small city played in the birth and growth of America as you stroll through charming streets and alleys and begin to understand the building blocks that take us to the present day.
Sound great? Well there is still much more.
During our old city history walk, we will whet our whistle at some of Lancaster’s finest craft beer establishments – and the history isn’t over. You will learn how much of our colorful past is tied to beer. From the Revolutionary War to 19th century Lager Breweries to amazing tales of prohibition ingenuity, the beer flowing through the taps comes from the present day but reaches back across the last two centuries - and it's delicious!

We enjoyed our tour of the city of Lancaster with Mike as our guide. His thorough knowledge of dates and events was amazing. Our last stop at an establishment with ties to a brewery which secretly operated during Prohibition was especially interesting. The micro brews were great and we parted ways feeling as if we had gained a new friend.

Mike is an amazing tour guide! He’s well versed in Lancaster history. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the city while he pointed out so many interesting historical references. The beer/beverage stops were pretty cool places to sit and have drinks. We ended up going back the next evening! We are grateful for such a wonderful experience in Lancaster. Thank you Mike!!!

My friend and I did this walking tour on a beautiful Saturday in October. Mike was a very knowledgeable guide. He knew a lot about the history of Lancaster and had great enthusiasm. The two brew pubs we frequented at the end were an added bonus and the drinks were included as well.
