Wellington Craft Beer Tour - Phil was a fabulous tour guide. We visited 3 different establishments and were extremely impressed with the selections. Phil worked with us to help in tailoring our selections to meet our preferences. The van was very comfortable and the drive from Wellington to Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt was very pleasant. We enjoyed our time together and would highly recommend this tour.

Phil was great, definitely do if you like craft brews - Had a wonderful tour. We visited 3 breweries and tried a variety of great (some not so, but still) beers. Loved that there were options for 3 different palates (1 loved porters, another sout, and a 3rd lagers). Highly recommend kereru for a visit, very passionate about the process and a wonderful porter. Our guide Phil was helpful and informative about the breweries and New Zealand.

Great half day craft beer tour - We had a great afternoon and evening with Phil. We wanted to get out of the city itself and see some of the breweries a bit further out. Phil got us in at late notice to see Chris at Kereru, where I had two of the best beers I've ever had - a French Saison and a truffle infused, barrel aged barley wine. Next stop was a bit more corporate craft at Panhead in Beertown, then on to Baylands Brewing which was pumping. Phil was great on recommendations and knows the breweries really well. Thanks!!
