While docked in Seattle, take a five-hour small-group brewery tour and learn about the constantly evolving brewing scene. Whether you’re a beer buff or you’re simply looking for a unique way to explore Seattle, this fun tour will not disappoint.
First, a little background information – a craft brewery is designated by the American Brewers Association as a small brewery with a production of less than six million barrels of beer; a microbrewery is even smaller, with a production of less than 15,000 barrels of beer. Your guide will take you to both types of local breweries, combining three to four beer-tasting stops with a Seattle city tour before dropping you off in time for your cruise.
Start your afternoon at Seattle's cruise port, and head either north or south depending on the order of breweries your guide determines. The breweries you visit depend on availability and hours of operation, but rest assured you will taste a variety of the most authentic and delicious porters, IPAs, pilsners, brown ales and more. Many of Seattle’s breweries value the environment, so you can also expect organic and local ingredients in almost every pint.
Between breweries, your guide will take you past several scenic viewpoints throughout the city to see the mountains, lakes, cityscape and vibrant neighborhoods that make Seattle so beautiful. You’ll also see historic Pioneer Square, Pike Place Market, the Space Needle and the Olympic Sculpture Park before returning to your ship.
