Questions

Before
you go.

Do I have to start at a particular station?

No. Pick up a passport at any of the five venues and start there. Any order works.

Do I have to do it all in one day?

No. There is no time limit. Collect the five stamps over as many visits as you like.

Does it have to be done in order?

No. Visit the five in any order. Five stamps fill the passport, whichever venue gives you the last one.

What happens when I complete the passport?

Collect all five stamps to unlock perks at every participating venue.

Is this a pub crawl?

No. There is no set route, no time limit and nothing to finish. Visit the five in any order, over as many trips as you like. It is a guide, not a challenge.

Do I need a car?

No. All five breweries and taprooms sit beside a station on the East West Line, so the train does the driving.

Can I drink on the train?

No. Alcohol must not be consumed onboard Auckland trains or at stations. Keep drinks at the venues.
