The Bottom Line
A pub crawl is a great way to try new beers, Australian or
imported.
For a beer enthusiast or groups out to celebrate and
party all night, one of the most exciting things is the
opportunity to try an array of new brews at a variety of
pubs.
This is called a Pub Crawl, you can have just as much fun
exploring pubs and Clubs as trying new beers.
Granted, pub-crawling may seem, at least on the surface,
to be an opportunity for excess. But it really shouldn’t be.
The entire point is to have fun and try different beers as
you go, all the while enjoying the atmosphere of each
establishment. After all, if the idea were simply to get
drunk, there would be no need for variety: one bar would do
you fine for that.
With that in mind, there are some important tips and
rules of the road for a successful pub crawl. If you follow
them, you’re sure to have a great and safe time. And
remember. The more the merrier: pub crawls are best when
shared with your friends and invited guests to help you
celebrate that special event. Once you’ve planned out your
route, which the friendly experienced Cruiser Crew help you
with, then these five rules can insure a fun and safe time
for all.
Rule 1:
Don’t Drink and Drive!
This is the cardinal rule for a good pub crawl. You should
always arrange for transportation from pub to pub with a
Nightcruiser. Hence the famous Nightcruisers - Moving Party
People. Also don't forget the great on-board atmosphere and
bring your own iPod or CDs.
Rule 2:
Pace Yourself!
Take your time! Allow enough time to enjoy each stop on
your trip, and don’t rush. Be smart enough to know your
limitations. Don’t try to fit too many stops in on one
night. There’ll always be another time for that if need be.
Rule 3:
Moderation is The Key!
Don’t overdo it! Trying different brews is always lots of
fun, but don’t go overboard. Many brewpubs and some
multi-tap pubs offer samplers of several beers in small
servings for a reasonable amount. These are a great way to
try everything the house has to offer in a moderate fashion.
This will also allow you to get to know the various Venues
that you would normally never visit.
Rule 4:
Eat!
Most of the stops on your crawl will offer great food,
too. So why not try some? Appetizers are always a good
choice, as large meals will just bog you down. Choose foods
that go well with the beers you’re trying. And remember,
food on the stomach inhibits the absorption of alcohol.
Rule 5:
Drink Water!
Alcohol dehydrates, so it’s important to “space” your
beers out with bottles of water and re-hydrate. Then too,
you’ll want to cleanse the palate between samples to fully
appreciate the flavour
