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!

This was a great walking tour of downtown Lancaster with an added bonus of a couple of beers towards the end. Our guide was interesting and knowledgeable about the history of downtown Lancaster. The tour was easy to hear due to an earpiece provided and the level of walking was modest so manageable even on a very hot day. Definitely recommend!

Mike was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting history information with us. We were a little disappointed because we only had 2 beer stops at the end of the tour. Our past experience with beer tours have included multiple stops throughout the tour. Overall we did enjoy the tour.

Thanks for the review, and we appreciate your feedback. For those reading this, this is designed to be primarily a history tour and not a pub crawl. We do make 2 stops for beers, but it is not the focus of the experience.
