Craft beer in Bogotá, three stops. That is a great way to see the city’s drinking culture without getting lost. This tour keeps it small (max 10) and pairs beer tastings with a real look at how brewing works, in English, as you hop from one well-loved venue to the next.

I especially like the pacing: three about-50-minute stops so you taste, ask questions, and still have time to enjoy the vibe at each place. The only thing to consider is that it’s a drinking-focused format for roughly 3 hours, so if you’re after a long meal or a very relaxed pace, you may want a different plan.

Key highlights you’ll care about

• Max 10 people means you’ll actually get answers while you taste and learn
• Three stops, about 50 minutes each, built for steady sampling
• Beer tastings plus one beer at each pub, not just sips from a sampler tray
• A brewing-process lesson led by Lina, mixing technique with Colombian beer context
• A route that includes Zona T and lager-focused spots, so you see different corners of Bogotá beer culture

Craft Beer in Bogotá, Without the Big-Group Chaos

If Bogotá beer is on your list, this is one of those plans that makes the city feel approachable fast. You’re not stuck in a huge crowd yelling over background noise. Instead, you get a tight group (up to 10), which changes everything: you can hear the guide, you can compare flavors, and you’re more likely to strike up easy conversations with locals.

The format also makes sense for first-timers. You get variety across the evening: a lager-specialty pub first, a craft-leaning Irish pub in Zona T, and then a stop at MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER. In three hours, you get a sense of what Bogotá breweries and pub culture look like when they’re not filtered through a tourist lens.

And yes, it’s a craft beer tour, not a lecture marathon. The point is to taste along the way while you learn enough technique to enjoy the next glass more.

Price and What You Actually Get for $59

At $59 per person for about 3 hours, the value comes from the structure: you’re paying for guided stops plus multiple pours. The tour includes beer tasting and a beer at each of the three venues. That matters because it turns the experience from a “look and sniff” style tasting into something more substantial.

You also avoid a common hassle on bar crawls: separate charges that creep in at each door. Each stop is listed with admission ticket-free entry, and the tour format is designed so you’re not juggling extra logistics between venues.

One more plus: the tour is offered in English and uses a mobile ticket. In Bogotá, that combination helps you move cleanly through busy neighborhoods without extra back-and-forth.

The 3-Stop Route: From Macha 80 to Bruder

The itinerary is straightforward: three bars, three tasting rounds, and a consistent schedule. Each stop runs about 50 minutes, which is long enough to actually taste and talk, but not so long you get bored or feel pressured to keep drinking.

You start at Birrería Macha 80 (Av Cl 80 #9-17). Then you move to the Zona T area for El Irish Pub Zona T (and continue on). The tour ends at MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER (Cl. 83 #12a-11). Knowing those anchor points helps you plan your day around the tour instead of guessing.

Also, this is designed for small-group energy. The guide’s role is active: you’re not just following someone down a street. You’re learning the brewing process as you go, and you get time to ask questions while the beer is in front of you.

Stop 1: Birrería Macha 80 and Lager-First Tasting

Birrería Macha 80 is the opening act, and it’s a smart choice. This place is a local craft beer pub specialized in lager styles. Starting with lager gives your palate a clear baseline. Even if you’re new to craft beer, lagers are often easier to map: clean flavors, good balance, and a clearer view of hop and malt character.

At this first stop, you get about 50 minutes and the tour includes beer tasting plus a beer. You’ll also get some of the brewing-process context early, which helps you make sense of what comes next. If your brain likes categories (lager vs. something else), you’ll likely enjoy this opening.

A practical note: this is the part of the tour where you should set your pace. Have a comfortable first glass, then slow down just enough to notice what you like—since you’ll be comparing beers at the next two venues.

Stop 2: El Irish Pub Zona T in Zona T

Then the tour shifts to El Irish Pub Zona T, another local craft beer pub, this time in one of Bogotá’s most recognizable areas. Zona T is a useful stop for a simple reason: it gives you a sense of where beer culture sits in a high-energy neighborhood, not just in tucked-away corners.

You get another 50 minutes here, plus tastings and a beer. The guide’s explanation continues alongside the tasting, so you’re not doing the same thing three times in a row. You’re learning how different styles and brewing choices can change the way a beer feels in your mouth.

What I like about a stop like this is the social angle. Irish pubs often make it easier to connect with people quickly, and a craft focus means you’re not stuck with only “standard” beer flavors. You’ll also likely find the vibe more lively here, which can be a good mid-tour energy boost.

Just pace yourself. This is also the stop where it’s easiest to keep ordering without thinking. If you’re the kind of person who wants to savor, ask your guide what to focus on before your second or third glass.

Stop 3: MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER for the Brewing-Process Focus

MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER is the finishing stop, and the timing is perfect. You arrive with context from the first two venues, so the guide’s brewing-process talk lands better. By the time you’re here, you’ve already tasted enough to form opinions, and that makes learning more useful.

This stop is also about that “craft learning” payoff. The tour highlights say you’ll learn about the brewing process, and a brewery-style finish is where that kind of information usually feels practical. You’re not just tasting; you’re connecting the flavors to what happens during brewing.

You get about 50 minutes at this stop with tasting included and a beer provided. Ending here also keeps the tour cohesive. You’re going from pub setting to something closer to a craft-brewer environment, without stretching the evening too long.

If you want to buy beer later or replicate what you liked, the end stop is where you’ll be in the best position to remember what you enjoyed and why.

What You’ll Learn (and How It Improves Every Sip)

This tour doesn’t treat beer knowledge like homework. It uses tastings as the main event, then adds just enough technique so you can taste with intention.

A key strength is the guide approach. In the experience description, the tour explicitly includes learning about the brewing process. In the feedback from the guide’s style, Lina comes up for being engaging, taking time to explain beer-making, and turning the experience into more than just a route through bars. That combination is exactly what you want: you get the how-and-why, not just the labels.

Here’s how this kind of lesson helps you as a traveler:

• You start noticing balance (malt sweetness vs. hop bitterness), not just “this tastes good.”
• You can talk about what you’re tasting with confidence, even if you’re new to craft beer.
• You get a framework for Colombian beers specifically, which makes your later independent beer stops more rewarding.

Also, the group format matters. With a cap at 10, questions don’t disappear into the background. The guide can tailor explanations to what people are actually ordering and tasting, and that keeps the learning relevant.

Snacks, Food Timing, and Staying Comfortable

Food is not included, but snacks are available for purchase at each pub. That’s a good setup because it gives you freedom without forcing a meal. You can eat what you like (and what you can handle) while still keeping the tour on schedule.

The practical move: eat something earlier in the day. Since you’ll be tasting beer across three stops, you’ll feel better if you’re not starting from an empty stomach. You don’t need a full dinner, but a solid snack before the tour helps you enjoy the flavor differences instead of just focusing on getting through the drinks.

If you’re sensitive to alcohol or you’re driving later, this isn’t the best format. Most people can participate, but the whole point is beer sampling. Treat it like a beer-focused event, not a light cultural stroll.

Getting There: Meeting Point, End Point, and Public Transit

The tour starts at Birrería Macha 80, Av Cl 80 #9-17, Bogotá, and ends at MICROCERVECERIA BY BRUDER, Cl. 83 #12a-11. Those exact addresses help you plug this into your broader itinerary, whether you’re staying in a central neighborhood or farther out.

It’s also listed as near public transportation, which is a real convenience in Bogotá. You’ll spend less time worrying about parking or waiting and more time focusing on the stops.

The schedule is compact but not frantic. About three hours gives you enough time to enjoy each venue, plus travel between them.

One more small planning tip: because it’s a small-group tour, it’s smart to reserve ahead. This one averages booking about 74 days in advance, which usually means it fills up around peak periods.

Who This Tour Is Best For (and Who Might Skip)

This is a strong match if you want:

• A small-group craft beer experience in English
• A structured tasting with real explanations of brewing
• Three different pub environments in one evening, including Zona T

It’s also ideal if you’re traveling with friends who like conversation. The tour format makes it easier to connect without turning into a loud party.

You might consider skipping if you want a food-first tour, because snacks are purchase-only. And if you don’t enjoy alcohol-based activities, this won’t be the right fit.

If you’re somewhere in the middle—curious about craft beer but not a hardcore enthusiast—you’re still in the sweet spot. The guide-led brewing lesson is designed to give you enough language to appreciate what you’re tasting.

Should You Book This Bogotá Craft Beer Tour?

I’d book it if you want an efficient, friendly way to sample Bogotá’s craft scene. For $59, you get beer at every stop, tastings built into each venue, and an actual brewing-process learning component—plus the experience stays personal thanks to a max of 10.

Book it especially if you care about quality of the guide experience. The guide’s name, Lina, shows up for being engaging and patient with explanations, which is the kind of detail that turns a bar crawl into a real learning moment.

Skip it only if you need a meal-heavy itinerary or you want a very slow pace. Otherwise, this is a solid way to drink well, learn a little, and see three corners of Bogotá beer culture in one smooth evening.
