I think this conflicts with the 2007 campout hosted by the Timberworts.

Subject: Boring Alaska Beer Cruise saga
Hello All,
Just wanted to send a few words about our Alaskan beer cruise last
week,
because it was really tops, at least the part I can remember.LaDon
tells me
there was also some good scenery, which may or may not
have been true.
Anyhow, we were on Royal Caribbean, the Radiance of the Seas, the
best
cruise ship I've ever been on. It was a 7-day cruise, starting and
ending in
Vancouver, with stops in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. We had beer
tastings on board ship, and tours which included pubs and breweries.
Also,
select micro brews were available for the beer tour group at the
ship's bars
and in the dining room.
The tour group included a beer "expert", and also the editor of "All
About
Beer" magazine, as well as a bunch of us sophisticated users. The
users
included home brewers, the 2002 "Beer Drinker of the Year"
runner-up, a family who had just bought a brewery in Oregon, and some
plain
old beer-slammers. The guy who set up the tour also accompanied us
and acted
as director. In addition to the special beer-related tours he had for
our
group, there were a number of standard tours available as
alternatives. Our
group was about 40 of the 2000-plus passengers.
The beers involved ranged the full gamut from lighter pilsners to
full-bodied barley wines, all quality products which were in more
than ample
supply (if you get my drift...).
Some details:
-As soon as we boarded, there was a get-acquainted and tasting party,
which
was great, because a beer is wonderful after going through the
boarding
process. Since we were still in port, there were brewery
reps there with their products. The reps got off when the ship
sailed, but
not the products.
-First stop was Juneau, a nice little town where we saw a salmon
hatchery
(unbelievable numbers of salmon), a glacier, and the Alaskan Brewing
Company, where we had a great tasting and tour, and a lot of
