Brew, boats and acrobats mix it up at Seattle Boat Show’s first ever craft beer night.
SEATTLE – What better combination than hops and props? That’s what the Seattle Boat Show has on tap for its first ever Sails & Ales Craft Beer Night, February 1st, at CenturyLink Field. For the first time in the show’s 66 year history, showgoers will be able to taste and toast the very best in Washington craft beers while shopping for the boat of their dreams or wandering the three acres of accessories exhibits. Have a thirst for an ESB and a PWC, an amber and Avalon Pontoon, or lager and a Larson Runabout? Sails & Ales will serve up all of the above and more during this fun evening at the Seattle Boat Show. And if that weren’t enough to make for a fabulous evening, there’s also an aerial, acrobatic show – Splash – to add to the mix. The Seattle Boat Show opened on January 25th and runs through February 3rd, 2013. Sails & Ales is a special one-night-only event.
