Pittsburgh 150 Minute Whiskey Walking Tour

Come downtown for our whiskey history tour where you will discover how whiskey has fueled political, labor and social movements throughout the region. From the mill to the still, whiskey has been a cornerstone in Pittsburgh's history. We start the tour with a sample of the oldest and longest continuously produced whiskey in America. A second taster of locally produced whiskey will get you in the mood to explore Pittsburgh's whiskey past and present. As we walk the streets of Downtown, you'll learn about the violent Whiskey Rebellion in Pittsburgh, hidden former (as well as existing!) speakeasies around the city, and how Prohibition affected the region.
You will get: 2 generous whiskey samples (endless refills!)+ 1 handcrafted cocktail at the Rebel Room to hang out and grab dinner afterwards.
*Please note: This is NOT a bar crawl but a whiskey history tour that includes whiskey samples and one a cocktail. For adults 21+ only.
*For private/custom tour requests: please contact us.
