If you ask me, it’s one of the best places in the world to go find beer: on a boat in the San Juan Islands. And if you’re gonna do that, why not do it on a 160-foot schooner as you enjoy food and beer pairings specially designed for your evening cruise? Sounds dreamy, eh?
The Schooner Zodiac has teamed up with Boundary Bay Brewery to offer a beer pairing dinner that sails out of Bellingham on Saturday, June 13th. The 3.5 hour cruise costs $85 and includes a four-course dinner. This is one in a series of beer-themed adventures aboard the Schooner Zodiac this summer.
