Itinerary

  1. Colonial Annapolis Historic District

    2 hours

    Come raise a glass with us on a historical pub crawl that shares the untold stories of how drinking shaped Annapolis, Maryland, and the nation itself. At each stop, we’ll dive into a different era— paired with a recommended drink that was the rage at the time. We will dive into the colonial rum obsession, Maryland’s rich whiskey distilling roots, and the bold few who treated Prohibition like a suggestion, not a law. We will roughly be at each pub for 30 minutes and will pass by some of Annapolis' most iconic places like the State House, Ego Alley and Main Street. Join us to toast the past, enjoy the present, and experience history with a tipsy twist.
