FAQ

Common questions

Are these official beer hiking routes?

No. They are Find My Seidla suggestions based on the brewery directory. For official hiking trails or GPX data, also check the official sources.

Can I change the routes?

Yes. Every route is a suggestion, not a fixed programme. Open the stops one by one from their detail pages or the map, or hand the whole route to Google Maps and change it there.

Are opening hours included?

No. Find My Seidla stores addresses and coordinates, but not live opening hours. Check visiting times directly with the breweries.
