About Beer Treks Brewery Tours

Beer Treks brewery tours are not just your typical beer drinking tours but an educational journey into the fabulous world of craft beer. A certified beer expert, certified through the internationally recognized Cicerone Certification Program, which is the beer world’s equivalent to the Sommelier program for wine, leads each tour. The tours take you behind the scenes of the beer making process, teaches you how to critically taste beer and learn why you prefer some beers over others, tells the story behind each brewery, and gives you insight into the history of Western North Carolina beer. As you walk from one brewery to another along the charming streets of these quaint mountain towns, you’ll also learn some tidbits about their fascinating history and see why the relaxed atmosphere of mountain town life is so appealing.
