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 to understand the history of Lancaster. I would highly recommend it if you’re interested in how the city began and became what it is today. We also stopped at two pubs with a large selection of craft beers to choose from. The beers were delicious. I would recommend this tour for anyone who’s interested in the history of Lancaster that is not just about the Amish. The tour guide also was a local and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone wore masks and were socially distance.

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and a local. The tour provided history with a stop at 2 pubs. The pubs had a great selection of craft beer. The history we learned was interesting and informative. I would recommend the tour. It is about 1 and a half hours of walking, with 2 stops in pubs. You will learn about Lancaster, its history and its relationship with breweries.
