Dublin: Howth Coastal Craft Beer and Seafood Tour

The Howth Coastal Craft Beer and Seafood Tour is a sensory journey along Ireland’s coast, blending the natural beauty of the seaside with the rich culinary traditions of this historic fishing village. Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll explore Howth’s stunning coastal paths and vibrant harbour, stopping along the way to sample some of the freshest seafood and finest craft beer Ireland has to offer.

Your adventure begins with a scenic walk along Howth’s dramatic cliffs, where panoramic views of Dublin Bay, Ireland’s Eye, and the historic lighthouse provide a striking backdrop. As you breathe in the fresh sea air and listen to tales of Viking invasions, fishing heritage, and folklore, your guide will lead you to local establishments that capture the essence of coastal dining. These handpicked pubs, seafood shacks, and artisan eateries serve up everything from oysters and smoked salmon to calamari, fish and chips, or crab claws—all perfectly paired with small-batch Irish craft beers that complement each dish.

The tour isn’t rushed; there’s time to relax at each venue, enjoy the flavours, chat with locals, and learn about the growing craft beer movement in Ireland. You’ll discover unique brews made just outside Dublin, from citrusy IPAs to smooth stouts, and understand how the brewing culture is evolving alongside Ireland’s food renaissance. The tour ends back near the harbour, where you can take in the sights of colourful fishing boats and perhaps spot a curious seal or two.

Perfect for foodies, beer lovers, or anyone wanting to explore Dublin beyond the city, this tour is a delicious and deeply local experience that connects land, sea, and story.
