Ticket Link
Washington state has almost 200 craft breweries, many with small-scale artisan brews that you're not going to find anywhere else in the world. Seattle is truly Beer Geek Heaven. The SchlitzKrieg is a beer tour for locals and out-of-towners alike, and focused on tiny up and coming nano-breweries that you probably won't find in the store. Throw in a little local history, an interesting scenic ride, and you've got a great way to spend a day outside of the Convention Center, where you can see more of the city than just the downtown.

2012 was the first ever SchlitzKrieg at PAX Prime, where 30 Beer Geeks were loaded onto a big yellow bus and we toured 12 local craft breweries in the greater Seattle Area in 12 hours. You can check out that year's thread

Yes - our regular screen printer is kinda busy, so I'm figuring out alternatives. I'll reach out to everyone once it's sorted.
Cancellations/Refunds are allowed but discouraged. People change their travel plans to attend this tour, so it's tough to fill in vacancies at the last minute. Also, since the ticket price is largely dependent on dividing the cost of the bus and ferry between everyone on the bus, cancellations that we can't fill with a warm body makes a huge headache for everybody on the day of the tour, as I try to recalculate the cost and figure out exactly who owes what. Of course, I understand that shit happens but please make every effort to stick to your reservation.
Also, some items are purchased ahead of time, so if you cancel, anything that's already paid for will be deducted from your ticket price and you'll be refunded whatever remains.
A Handy Map of what I'm talking about. Note that google incorrectly calls the foot ferry a 27 minute ride - it's actually 12 minutes.
The very last stop on the tour is Slaughter Co. Brewing in Port Orchard. The brewery is located within walking distance of 2 different foot ferries that go directly to the Bremerton ferry dock, which is also the dock for the Seattle Ferry. The Seattle ferry drops you off within walking distance of the Sheraton downtown.
The foot ferry costs $2, and the return trip on the Seattle ferry is free for foot passengers.
This means that a) Slaughter Co. is easily accessible from downtown Seattle and b) since it's our last stop, anyone who wants to hang out over there and come back on their own can do so easily if they don't want to take the bus.
If in the end, everyone wants to walk back to Seattle (in a manner of speaking), we could even send the bus back early and drop the ticket price a bit.
Yeah, I figured that out yesterday, and wrestled with it for an hour before I gave up. I'll tackle it today and see if I can embed instead. Ugh, what a craptastical waste of time. THANKS, GOOGLE.
Okay, It should be fixed now. Let me know if you still have problems.
will be signing up later today though!

There haven't been a ton of signups this year - probably because it was announced late-ish, and people already have plans on Wednesday. But wait! There's a contingency plan in place for this exact situation!
If it looks like we're not going to get 25 people (the requisite number to afford a big yellow bus), we'll cap the event at 15 and take a passenger van instead.
Here's the reasoning: The cost of the bus is split evenly between everybody. Since a short bus costs the same as a long bus, having between 15 and 25 people makes this trip pretty expensive. Getting a van is super cheap and the price drop will scale the cost down accordingly for the people who attend.
