Who is Arthur and what makes his brewery different?

Arthur is a former engineer who trained professionally in the beer industry and opened his own urban microbrewery in Marseille. He focuses on creative, small-batch brews using local ingredients and sustainable practices—offering a personal, inventor-driven approach rather than a commercial operation.

What will I taste and learn during the experience?

You'll sample multiple creative beers while learning about Arthur's brewing process, ingredient sourcing, and sustainability values. The tour includes behind-the-scenes access to the brewery and plenty of time for direct conversation with the brewer.

Is this suitable if I'm not a beer expert?

Yes. Arthur designed this as a sensory journey and educational experience, not a technical certification. He explains flavours and techniques in an approachable way and welcomes curious newcomers.

How much beer will I actually drink?

You'll taste multiple beers across the 2.5-hour session in tasting portions. The pace is relaxed, so you can enjoy without overdoing it. Let Arthur know if you prefer smaller pours.

What should I bring or wear?

Wear comfortable clothing suitable for a working brewery environment. No special equipment needed. If the brewery has outdoor seating, bring sunscreen or a light layer depending on the season.

Can I buy beer to take home?

This is typical for craft breweries, though specific details on availability and stock should be confirmed directly with the operator. Many microbreweries offer bottles or limited runs for visitors to purchase.

our host Mehmet had so many stories and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight. On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Fine even with my dodgy knee, and we hit 6 tastings, and first thing in the morning. Would book again no question.

our host Zara sorted everything for us and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight, and honestly better than the food tour we did in Hanoi last year, no joke

our host Diego had so many stories and the warm baklava at the last stop was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and tried about 8 dishes, and handy if youre short on time, and we hit 6 tastings. Would book again no question.

our host Marco sorted everything for us and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar food tour we tried in Phuket.

our host Priya had so many stories and a glass of the local red was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Booked it for my birthday, and used it for our summer trip. Would book again no question.
