Manhattan by Sail’s Clipper City Tall Ship and tour company, Urban Oyster, have collaborated to launch an East River sightseeing tour tailored to beer enthusiasts. The ship will cruise on Saturday and Sunday this summer starting at noon, and will run until October 11.
Expect to sample a selection of Manhattan’s best locally brewed lagers and ales while being taught about the varying tastes and distinctions between brews. There will also be an assortment of charcuterie and cheeses to pick on.
The ship will venture by New York landmarks—the Empire State Building, Lady Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and Governors Island—are some of the most prominent. You will also get to see the suspended Verrazano-Narrows Bridge’s double deck and massive towers. Make sure to take time away from your glass to check these views out.
The cruise is an hour and 45 minutes long and tickets are $75 for adults. Although children are allowed on the ship, the event page states that the excursion is better suited for those of legal drinking age.
