Choose the cornerstone of your trip
Your custom Epic Beer Trip starts with what matters most to your group. Whether you’re chasing birdies on a bucket-list golf course or digging into your family roots, we’ll shape your trip around a core theme—then blend in all the extras that make Ireland unforgettable.
Expect a mix of craft beer, local culture, and stunning landscapes no matter which focus you choose.
What you get with your custom travel package
You’ll work one-on-one with Captain Kurt, Chief Beer Tripper and owner of Epic Beer Trips, to craft the perfect experience. From your very first call, we make the planning process easy, collaborative, and—honestly—a lot of fun.
We’ll help you stay within your budget, prioritize the places you’ve always dreamed of seeing, and and make sure every moment is unforgettable—from your first pint to your final view.
Answers to frequently asked questions
We recommend April, May, or October. These shoulder-season months offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and better hotel availability. (Insider Tip: many Irish hotels don’t have A/C, so summer can be stuffy!)
Ideally, reach out 6–12 months before your desired travel dates. This gives us plenty of time to secure your preferred accommodations, tee times, and brewery visits—but we can sometimes make magic happen on shorter timelines, too.
Pricing varies depending on your group’s preferences, length of stay, and activity mix. We’ll work with your budget and provide sample itineraries to help shape a plan that fits your vision.
Nope! While craft beer is a signature part of the Epic Beer Trips experience, many of our guests enjoy Ireland for the culture, scenery, and great company. We’ll tailor the level of beer-related activities to your group’s tastes.
Custom trips are designed for small private groups of 4–6 travelers. This keeps the experience intimate and flexible—and ensures you get personal attention from your Irish guide throughout.
You’ll have a dedicated local Irish Ambassador—your private driver, guide, and storyteller—throughout your journey. This allows you to relax and immerse yourself while someone else handles the navigation and logistics.

Meet Epic Ambassador to Ireland—Russ Lynch & the Russ Bus
One of the best parts of your Epic Beer Trip? You’ll never have to worry about navigating Ireland’s narrow roads, driving on the opposite side, or figuring out car rentals in a new country. Your group will travel in comfort aboard the Russ Bus, a custom touring van driven by our Epic Ambassador to Ireland, Russ Lynch—your guide, driver, and all-around trip MVP.
Russ takes the wheel so you can relax, enjoy the scenery, and raise a pint without thinking twice about who’s driving. With years of experience leading tours and an unmatched network of local connections, Russ knows every bend in the road, the quickest routes to iconic sights, and the hidden gems most visitors miss. Whether it’s a backroad coastal view, a pub where everyone knows his name, or a last-minute detour to something extraordinary, Russ makes the journey as memorable as the destinations.
Epic Beer Trips is the perfect name for this! Kurt does an amazing job of finding the balance between planned activities and free time. It’s so nice to have a daily activity where all you have to do is show up at the right time because Kurt handles all the transportation and tickets. Every brewery we visited was delightful and owners/brewers were wonderful. It’s a low stress way to get to explore another country. I recommend Epic Beer Trips to everyone who will listen. I can’t wait to go on my next trip with Kurt to England!
Our trip to Ireland with Kurt was amazing. The accommodations were in great locations. The attractions were within walking distance. It was a great mix of planned activities coupled with just enough free time to enjoy individual activities. Loved the “Russ Bus” transportation! I would highly recommend the trip to others.
