Let The Alaskan Railroad Be Your Designated Driver
There's travel blog bait, there's travel blog bait, and then there's a train that takes you along one of the most scenic routes in these United States and serves you six half-pints of microbrews plus appetizers. Well played Alaska Railroad, well played indeed:
Take a scenic journey along Turnagain Arm with the world's best designated driver—the Alaska Railroad. The Microbrew Express travels 80 miles roundtrip from Anchorage to Portage and features an impressive assortment of the finest local microbrews and incredible scenery of Turnagain Arm.
We got tipped to this via The LA Times, which also notes that the BrewHouse beer menu includes Brewhouse Blonde and Oatmeal Stout. Tickets are $149 per person and cover the rail trip plus everything else. The event takes place Oct. 3 and purchases are obviously 21+.
The Microbrew Express isn't the only themed trip that Alaska Railroad offers. They also offer an Easter Train with the Easter Bunny, a Holiday Train with Santa, and even a Halloween Train. The Halloween "Mystery Train" costs $239 per person based on double occupancy and goes to Spencer Glacier and on to Alyeska Resort in Girdwood.
Odds for most popular outfit on the Halloween Train: slutty Sarah Palin. Seriously, we're not suggesting that's a good idea. But if we know travel hipsters, we know travel hipsters. And unfortunately, we know travel hipsters.
