About the event
This walk touches upon the various cultures around the world who brew alcohol outside the unholy four: vodka, whiskey, rum, & gin. Through alcohol we our realise the participation of trees in human culture and collaboration with the unsung labourers: bacteria and microbes — who help us produce these drinks.
These walks are one of many designed to erase tree blindness and introduce Lal’ Bagh’s tree diversity.
