FAQ
Who can join our Six Best Beers of Munich Walking Tour?
Is there an age limit for joining this tour?
Guests should note that the legal drinking age applying to beer in Germany is 16. While guests younger than sixteen can in principle join us on this tour, it’s not something that we would encourage. Any guest below the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legally responsible adult.
Are "Stag/Bucks Groups" welcome on the tour?
Even on a private tour, the answer is unfortunately no. Due to the strictness of the unwritten rules surrounding beerhall culture in Munich, bucks/stag groups are not welcome in many establishments and we cannot there for invite such groups on our tour. Guests arriving in costume or displaying any other outwardly obvious sign of being part of a bachelor or spinsters party will be uninvited from the tour without refund.
If you’re visiting Munich for a special occasion and want to organize a private beer tour for your group, we would love to host you! But we unfortunately cannot be part of organizing a ‘traditional’ stag/bachelor party where the goal is intoxication.
What happens if someone in our party arrives for the tour visibly under the influence of alcohol?
This private beer tour is an activity centered on Munich culture and the civilized appreciation of excellent beer. Unfortunately guests arriving in a state where earlier beer consumption is obvious will be uninvited from the tour without refund, even on a privately organized tour.
