Craft Beer

For craft beer lovers constantly on the hunt for local beers from all over the world, we have some great suggestions. Chris is constantly looking for craft beer on every family vacation and so you’ll find brewery suggestions from around the world here.

 

Luckily for us the Canadian craft beer scene is booking and we know the best Canadian beer subscriptions and Canadian beer clubs. If you’re looking for gifts for beer lovers, those will definitely have you covered. We also know the best places to drink beer in Toronto and ones that are family friendly too! Canada is home to some great beer festivals and we’ve even attended Mondial de la Biere with kids when there were young. We’ve found breweries to be quite welcoming, especially since it seems that most brewery owners are parents with young kids. Visiting Ontario with kids? Check out our Brews, Beaches and Family Fun route!

 

At times it isn’t easy to find craft beer but we share our experience discovering craft beer in San Sebastian, Spain and the best places to drink beer in Berlin too. Maybe you’re wondering about the brews in Amsterdam? The breweries in Maine were a joy to discover too and we highly recommend a family road trip there. The highlight was definitely drinking beer in Belgium… a place we need to return to because the holy grail of beer beckons.

 

Please remember to drink responsibly and to never drink and drive. We explore cities by public transit or hire a designated driver when we know we’ll be indulging. If you love mainstream beers, we hope you’ll take inspiration to dig deeper into the craft beer scene and discover some of our faves.
