Bier-Mania! Tour Maps

Just to let you know that we are constantly updating our tours maps for Europe and USA (Colorado), used in conjunction with Ron Pattinson's European Beer Guide these are a 'one-stop-shop' for online information about where to go in search of beer in the Beer Zones we cover.
For UK and especially London, see Stonch's Beer Blog for up to date information on the UK beer scene.

Have a look at the General Europe Map for the Beer Zones we are currently doing tours in.

All individual Tours Maps can be seen as follows, tour codes are in brackets.
Please note that Trade Mark applies.

A word of warning before you get your map, GPS and hire car and set off along Europe's backwaters- DRINK DRIVING-DON'T.
Leave the driving to firms such as Bier-Mania! We know where we are going (usually!), have the tour experience and have built a network of locations throughout the zones.
So, as usual, pour yourself a beer and go wandering online around Europe, soon most locations will have photos as well!
