Leeuwarden Beer Tour

On this walking tour, you will hear stories about the history of beer in Leeuwarden. This tour was commissioned by a local brewer in 2014. Since then we’ve told many people about beer in Leeuwarden. During this tour, we do not drink beer, but we will end the tour at a local pub where you can taste some local beers afterwards.

About the Tour

On this walking tour, you will get to know Leeuwarden through its beer. Where used to be the breweries and where did they go?  And what happened during the Leeuwarden beer revolt? Leeuwarden has its own beers again with the Oldehove beer, De Kroon op Leeuwarden, Redbad and Grutte Pier. PLEASE NOTE: This is not a pub crawl! We will also NOT taste any beer along the way. However, we will tell you great stories about Leeuwarden’s beer history. We will conclude this tour at a local pub where you can taste plenty of local beers, of course.
