Highlights
-
Tatari 12 - We will taste 7 different types of Estonian craft beer while learning about the styles, history & tradition of making it.
We will go over the brewing process, watch some quick illustrative videos and have a chat in a relaxed private tasting room around massive oak tables.
You get to know what goes inside the beer other than water, why is India Pale Ale called like that or where is the worlds oldest running brewery.
While talking about beer Ill throw in some local jokes & test your level of sensitivity. We locals have a pretty dark sense of humour.
Im always open for suggesting best craft beer bars, specialty beer shops or places to eat great gourmet burgers or local cuisines.
The 2 hour beer tasting session will go by so fast you wonna stay there for longer. Now you are advanced into a local beer expert & need to go practice around Tallinn oldtown & brag to your friends that you know what IPA stands for.
Other things to note
This is defenitely not a pub crawl or something generic any of you could do in a loud bar.
Its a private event in ambiet tasting room specially prepared for bigger groups or lovely couples to enjoy the selection of best local craft beers not big brewery beers.

Additional Information
I’m a local aficionado of beers and a home brewer who has covertly operated as a beer intelligence agent. I’ve engaged in home brewing for over half a decade, creating over 200 distinct batches of beer. In addition, I’ve sampled more than 1500 unique beers from various corners of the globe. In recent years, beer tasting events have been my forte, hosting for friends, small groups, and touring parties (numbering up to 32 people).
Join me for an exciting and educational tasting experience and explore the depth of Estonian beer beyond the monotony of well-known brands. I’ll guide you through a curated line-up of light and dark beers from numerous Estonian microbreweries while imparting knowledge about the different types of beers, their rich history, and the culture they inspire.

High quality Estonian beers, this is how you get to know them. - I tasted and liked beers I never thought I'd like. The host, Martin Craft had chosen a wide selection from the lightest summerbeers to the darker "It's raining, I'll stay inside today" style of beers. I was impressed with the quality of the Estonian craft beers and Martins knowledge of these.
I highly recommend that you start your Estonian holiday with this event.

Heavily Recommended! - We had a great time with a very personal beer tasting. We got the opportunity to taste several great local craft beers and learned more than I had ever imagined about tasting, brewing methods, origins, history, information about the local town and many other things. Our host was extremely pleasant and easy to converse with. He did most of the talking and just poured out an incredible amount of knowledge, yet also asked us questions underway about the tastings and allowed us to actively partake in the experience. Overall a very positive experience that I can heartily recommend!
