OK, I’m not sure you’d find this kind of an opportunity anywhere else in the country. Join the Schooner Zodiac and its crew for a 3 night/4 day “Oktoberfest Brewery Cruise” around the San Juan Islands with stops at local breweries along the way.  The cruise departs from Bellingham, WA at 9:30am on October 15, and returns at 5pm on October 18. It looks like there is room for about 24 passengers on the vessel, and the cost is $650/person (includes meals, tastings and lodging). Sure, it’s an expensive trip…but it sounds like a pretty unique opportunity as well. Please visit their website for more information.

Here is the agenda:
Wednesday Oct. 14th – Kick-off @ Boundary Bay Brewery, Bellingham
*Zodiac early-boarding is optional with a $60 fee

Thursday, Oct. 15th– Water Street Brewing, Anacortes, WA
“Matching Pacific Northwest Ales with Food”

Friday, Oct. 16th- Port Townsend & the Port Townsend Brewing Co.

Saturday, Oct. 17th– Friday Harbor & San Juan Brewing Co.
Onboard Brewing of “Schooner Rat” I.P.A with Pike Brewing’s Kelly Wies.

Sunday, Oct. 18th– Good winds and great sailing… Foam on the water and in your glass!
