How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
It’s a scientific fact that Melbournians have nurtured the deep-seated appreciation for good craft beer, so you’ll join one such person (aka, one of our local Melbourne hosts) for a craft beer tasting experience.
You’ll be sipping on a medley of Melbourne’s finest hoppy delights from bitter IPAs to crisp and fruity Weiss in no time.
Picture, if you will, flitting between taprooms, microbreweries, hipster beer gardens, and quirky brew houses, sipping on innovative new creations like a raspberry ice-cream pale ale and bourbon barrel-aged wild cherry red ale (or keep things more traditional, if a crisp pilsner sounds more like your vibe).
Pair your brews with pizza from a retro food truck out front of one brewery (we won’t name names yet), popcorn, and other hearty grub that you can eat without putting your beer down, and you’re onto a winner.
At some breweries, you can take a tour of the place and learn about their unique brewing process, at others you’re likely to catch some live music (this is Melbourne, after all, and people know how to have a good time).
So just let us know what your favorite tipples are, what kinda vibe you’d like and we’ll take care of the rest!

I am so excited to have found City Unscripted! I can’t believe we had a dedicated, local tour guide for such an affordable price. They have you complete a questionnaire to match up your interests. Our guide, Cherida, was wonderful. She provided a great overview of the city for us. I will be looking for City Unscripted on all my new cities I visit!
