SPECIAL CONDITIONS WAIVER

As a participant on a Strangebird tour, I fully and clearly understand that I will be consuming alcohol during the tour and I accept full responsibility for my behavior, well being, and health throughout the tour, which may involve a variety of activities, unfamiliar locations, and modes of travel, including but not limited to: pedestrian travel on busy streets, rail travel, train platforms and stations, hotel stairways, cobblestone streets, public taxis, public busses, trains and trams, brewery tours, bars and pubs, and bus stairs. I further realize that brewery tours may involve beer tasting before or after the tour; and that the tour may involve walking through unfamiliar, narrow and/or steep corridors, gangways, stairways and driveways. I also realize that breweries may be operational during certain visits and that this presents additional hazards including heat and steam, reduced visibility, hot pipes and boiling kettles. I knowingly and willfully accept these risks and take complete and total responsibility for my behavior, well being and health during the tour. I agree to hold neither Strangebird nor the hosting brewery or facility liable in any way should any harm come to me.
