Craft Beer Cruise

I came across this deal on LivingSocial.com and it sounds like so much fun! Who wouldn't enjoy drinking beer sailing around Manhattan? Booze cruises are fun but craft beer cruises sounds amazing! This deal is from Manhattan By Sail.  It's a weekend beer-tasting cruise with light bites and a beer-history lesson.  This deal is only $52, you save over 50%.  This incluses a one hour and forty five minute trip around the city which includes: six craft beers, cheese and crackers, charcuterie, and a laid back lesson in beer history. This would originally cost you $102 so it's a great idea for half off on a Saturday or Sunday! It's a one of a kind, tipsy, afternoon experience worth the value! Tasting, mingling, and more all go down on a topsail schooner known as the Clipper City, a 158 foot replica of the lumber-hauling boats that filled the harbor more than a century ago.  The boat has a huge deck, seating, and an incredible view of the Manhattan sky line.  This sounds like a good time and a great way to spend the afternoon in the warm weather.  You have 6 days left to purchase this deal so hurry up! Happy sailing!
