He was knowledgeable about the history of the city, different locations, great conversationalist, and recommended going to other places after the tour like Gumbo Brothers. Drew kept us entertained with guiding us around the breweries and distilleries and kept us on schedule so we were able to see as much as we could in the time allotted.
