Modelled on the traditional Australian pub crawl, where participants move between pubs throughout an evening, this tour engages the group with stories and drinks in local hotels. Tour guides wear traditional wharf workers' dress and tell colorful tales of life in colonial days and the important role of alcohol in the evolution of the Hobart colony. The experienced guides weave stories about illegal brewing, secret tunnels, smuggling and the development of drinking culture in the colony.
