The Auckland Beer Mile Walking Tour

Auckland's newly coined stroll between beer bars.

Overview

The route from Morningside to Eden Terrace has been given an official title. The ​Auckland Beer Mile​ takes brew lovers on a walking tour of ​seven top local craft beer venues.​ While a mile rolls off the tongue easier, the leisurely stroll between bars is actually nearly double the measurement at 3.2-kilometres. Hence, the Beer Mile was designed with ​public transport​ in mind; the Morningside Train Station sits at one end and Mount Eden Station at the other, while a bus runs the length of the route.

This weekend marks the opening of the Auckland Beer Mile, and to celebrate the organisers are hosting a guided walking tour on Saturday, 1 June. Starting in Morningside at local freehouse ​605 at 1pm, the tour will visit ​all seven locations offering attendees a range of beers (and plenty of time to burn them off) from Urbanaut Brewery​, ​Garage Project​'s Kingsland taproom, 80s-themed barcade Save Ferris​, Eden Terrace's hardcore craft bar The Beer Jerk Bunker​, ol' English pub ​Galbraith's Alehouse​, and barbecue establishment Brothers Juke Joint.
