History and Hysterics - We have lived in the Boston area for our entire lives, but have never had an experience like this. Paxton added fun facts to the history that we learned in school! Great fun!

Super fun tour! - This was such a fun way to learn more history about Boston while having amazing beers! Our guide Arielle was so knowledgeable about the history and which beers we should get at each bar. Her dramatic storytelling really put a bow on it! Highly recommended!
