Join Us for an All-Access VIP Beer Experience.
We do craft brewery tours in Albuquerque. Our tours give you an All-Access, VIP, Behind-the-Scenes Craft Beer Experience.
On the Original ABQ Beer Tour we will visit three area craft breweries. At each you’ll do a guided tasting of two or three different beers. There will be an appetizer at one location. We will tour the brewery production facilities at each and out knowledgeable beer guide will explain the brewing process, the history of beer and whatever else might come up. Transportation to and from the pickup location and select area hotels is provided. Sit back and enjoy the tour.
We are available for private tours. Fill out the form below the event list for rates and availability.

Highly recommended! I wasn’t sure what we signed up for, since we know a lot about ABQ beers already. I’d do this tour again in a heartbeat. We laughed and... read more learned and went to new places. We also met great people — beer people tend to be very chill and interesting, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We loved meeting a brewer and learning about his process before trying his beers. We loved having van rides (gotta be careful out there). We loved getting to the next place with different, equally interesting/different beers, and were sad to get our final stop (our favorite) where we learned some more and laughed and talked and drank really good brews it was everything we hoped for. And Gordon was a kind and considerate host, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell he was a history teacher. I learned more from him about beer than I’ve ever known before, and he was funny too. We are local and visit lots of breweries, and this was worth it to us. Even if I was a visitor, I’d want to visit some of Albuquerque’s best parts, and the beer scene really is amazing here. We went to new places, tried new beers, and learned a bunch. But most importantly, we laughed a lot and got out to enjoy our city. Gordon’s passion for our local breweries (and for beer in general) make him the perfect host. Loved it.

Our beer tour experience was awesome!

This was my first ever Brewery Tour. Gordon (our tour guide) did an excellent job of giving us easy to understand information on the beer brewing process. We were able... read more to sample beers in a professional way, then evaluate the aroma, appearance, flavor and mouthfeel of each beer. The tour included 3 distinctly different breweries, my first introduction to the differing tastes the beers at each brewery has, when properly evaluated. The tour was fun, thanks to the very good tour leader and the friendly group making up this tour. I would strongly recommend this tour whether you live in Albuquerque or are just visiting from out of town.

If you’re looking for a unique way to explore Albuquerque, we recommend booking this tour with Gordon. It was our first time visiting ABQ and we had such such a... read more great time exploring local breweries and going behind the scenes to learn all about the brewing process. Gordon’s enthusiasm for beer is truly evident in the knowledge he shares throughout the tour. I wouldn’t say I’m a big beer person but I still had a great time and enjoyed the options Gordon selected for us throughout.

So many positive things that could be said here in such a small amount of space, however, 🍺 Gordon's ABQ Beer Tours🍺 is an amazingly solid experience! For the $... read more you get picked up, driven around town so you can drink safely, you get to try several kinds of beer, you get the educational backstory of beer, there are score cards, mini pencils, name tags, you get the behind the scenes experience at the breweries, and so much more. The other folks on the tour are there to have just as much fun as yourself so it's always a fun group of random humans to be with. I'd highly go on the tour again and will always recommend it to anyone. Enjoy the 🍺!!!

This is not the typical booze cruise night out, it’s an educational evening learning about beer, the brewing process and how to appreciate our favorite beverage. That’s not to say... read more it isn’t fun, we had a blast AND learned about beer. Gordon is extremely knowledgeable about beer and his home city of Albuquerque; he is full of interesting perspectives on both. Highly recommended!

We had so much fun on this tour! Met some very cool people and learned a lot about beer, including better descriptive words than the ones I would normally use.... read more I was excited to go to local breweries I hadn't been to before, but will definitely return to since I found new beers to love at them. Highly recommend.
