Boilermaker Tours 

Questioning assumptions one drink at a time since 2015.The new direction of The Whisky Social launching in early 2022.

The Whisky Social

<H2>Anyone can do a pub crawl. </H2>
<H2>Lots of people have been to a brewery.</H2>
<H2>A few have been to a whisky distillery...maybe even a few have visited a moonshine maker…..</H2>
<H3>But who has gone to two breweries, a malt whisky distillery and a moonshine maker in one day!!! You can say you have after this afternoon of awesomeness. </H3>
 
‘Boilermakers’ are a beer and a whisky pairing that compliment each other. The term traces back to about the 1920's UK pub culture but nobody knows exactly where it came from. It can be interpreted a few different ways but for these purposes, it's a matter of sipping and savouring both the beer and whisky. Melbourne doesn't do anything half-assed when it comes to food and drinks so we're going all out: two breweries, two distilleries, all tasty AF.  What better way to spend an afternoon with your friends.
 
For the first time ever, you have the chance to spend an afternoon with a few of the movers and shakers of the local whisky and beer world on Melbourne’s first ever Boilermaker crawl. It will be tasty, interesting, possibly a bit educational and a whole lot of fun! You'll be hosted by Ren from The Whisky Social and Hannah Bambra of Starward, a spirits industry insider from way back.
