Our tour guide, Brian, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about everything he told us about. Not only did we learn a lot about the history of the city, but we got to have some drinks along the way! We were even offered some beer that’s only exclusive to certain places. This tour was worth every penny. The groups are kept below 12 people (our group was only 4 people), so it’s really intimate and personable. I definitely recommend this tour! Huzzah!

We learned SO much history from Kelly, the nicest and best guide you could ever ask for. Such a fun experience. The places we stopped at for our libations were amazing. Definitely our favorite tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Brooke was an amazing guide! How she remembers everyone’s name is impressive and provided great recommendations for the beer!

Had a great time hearing about Boston’s revolutionary past coupled with some very tasty brews! Our host Brooke made sure we all had a fun day. I’d definitely recommend this tour as way to familiarize yourself with Boston and to also get some great ideas on what spots to visit once your tour ends.

This was a great tour, our guide had such fun facts about the drunken history of the revolution era and history about local taverns. There was a wide selection of beers and ciders to choose from. If you only pick one drinking tour, pick this one!

Brook was the most knowledgeable and fun tour guide we have ever experienced. One thing is to know your history, but to explain and relate to your group in a fun practical way was amazong! I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Boston as well as enjoying a few beers.

Hands-down this was probably one of the favorite tours I’ve ever done Our tour guide Brooke, who also happens to be the founder, has an enthusiasm for history beyond words. During our walk and our stops, she told us fabulous stories that kept us all engaged. The tour is limited to a group of 12, which keeps things big enough, but not so big that you need a megaphone to hear what the guide has to say. At each Tavern stop there were tables reserved for us, and we had a choice of at least three beers to choose from - we got generous pours not just small tastings. We met a great group of people, learned a lot and drank some good beer. We highly recommend for anyone over 21 looking for something a bit different!
