About this tour

By visiting this tour, you can learn more about your favourite intoxicating drink and taste several types of live Lviv beer.


The first mention of Lviv beer dates back to the 14th century.


In medieval Lviv there were an incredible number of small breweries, now this tradition is gradually being revived in the form of beer restaurants and mini-breweries.


During the beer tour, you will learn: what establishments in Lviv are called “kneips”, who are the Lviv “batyars” and how they called beer, what is this type of beer like “gzhanets”, what is the difference between “lager” and “ale”, what such craft beer and much more.


During the tour, you will get acquainted with four operating mini-breweries (Pravda Beer Theatre, Royal Brewery, Kumpel, Stargorod) and several well-known beer establishments (including Mons Pius, Chauvin).
