Stockholm Historic Pub Tour

As the opportunity to take a pub tour in my home town came up it was a given decision for me to join. I wasn’t expecting much though, since I’ve had been to most pubs in the old town and tried more kinds of beers than most my worries were that this would just like drinking but in a new group of people.
That’s where I was wrong, the historic pub tour is not about drinking and you probably wouldn’t expect to leave the tour drunk (but of course not sober). Instead it was an interesting story telling with well chosen pubs and drinks along journey which is well bound together with the history of Stockholm and the alcohol culture.
For the story telling I’d absolutely rank this 5/​5, it was with big interest, exciting storytelling and good knowledge our guide introduced us to the Stockholm drinking history. The pub choices were well thought through even if it was only 4 pubs, which in my opinion could have been a couple more. We got good mead, beer and schnapps and only at one place took a full bottle the place of tasting cup. Hopefully in the future that bottle as well will be replaced by tastings.
Since it takes place in the old town you should absolutely increase the challenge by wearing high heel shoes and bashing your head against the cellar roofs.
I’ve always preferred when tours are not a construct from a bigger company and this certainly wasn’t, the tour is held by a Swedish couple with interest for beer and history which makes it so much nicer and friendlier.
To sum it up, great tour but could have had some more drinks/​replaced a full bottle with tastings and you should definitely do it if you come to Stockholm as a tourist or if you already live here and don’t know about exciting facts like how being drunk used to be expected in Stockholm. You will also meet some nice people if you want to make the night longer. Our tour started at 18:00 and ended around 20:45. So I’d really suggest eating before as we got quite hungry at the end.
