Edinburgh's Old Town is known for its historic pubs and brewing heritage. This two-hour walking tour visits several traditional and modern pubs where participants can sample local craft beers. The group is small to allow personal attention from the guide, who shares the history of beer in the city along the route. The walk includes stops in the Old Town district and the "Charmed Circle," once famous for its breweries, where attendees taste traditional cask ales. The tour also passes through a lively street known for its mix of pubs, bars, and music venues, with a first beer break here and suggestions for places to visit afterward. Along the way, the guide points out notable landmarks such as McEwan Hall, the University of Edinburgh's Old College, and the Grassmarket, a historic market area near the castle. The tour includes alcoholic beverages and a local pub guide provided digitally or in print.
