We will also offer guided and self- guided tours, something we currently are unable to safely do at either brewery. It can’t come soon enough, but any faster would be too much.

Don’t you go paying them what they ask. You haggle.” At the Sydney air- port, the men catch a cab to their hotel. When they reach their destination, the cabbie says, “That’ll be twenty dol- lars, lads.” “Oh no you don’t! My dad warned me about
