Summary: Lee led the tour well without hurrying us along. The group were all very friendly. We visited 4 micro-breweries, and tried 10 different craft beers. The variety was wide, so something to please everyone, and something to skip for everyone. The beers were not low in alcohol, so it was as well that the glasses were third of a pint. No food was on offer at the venues.
