2024 Sailing Season is coming! See you April 13, 2024!

Tuesday Beer Tastings while under Sail

Sunset Sails & Beer Tasting, aboard a 74-foot, classic wooden schooner, Woodwind.

We feel that everyone should be able to enjoy great, craft beer while sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. And on every Tuesday’s sunset sail, we feature 3 beers from a regional micro-brewery. A brewery representative comes aboard and educates in a very casual manner about beer.

Sample three, 4 oz samples of this month’s feature brewery while sailing from Annapolis on a 2-hour cruise.  When finished with the sampling, you may purchase your favorite beers for the rest of the sail.

June 2024:  Port City (Alexandria, VA)

Port City Brewing Company is proud to revive, celebrate and continue this rich brewing history in our modern artisanal brewery right outside our nation’s capital. We started the brewery in January 2011 because we found that the DC area needed more choices for great quality, locally produced craft beer. We are committed to producing world-class quality beers without compromise for the DC and Mid Atlantic markets.

The historic port city of Alexandria, VA has a proud tradition of brewing beer for the region that dates back to the 19th century. Founded in 1866, the Robert Portner Brewing Company operated in Alexandria for almost 50 years. It grew to become the largest brewery in the southern United States and was Alexandria’s largest employer. The company thrived until 1915 when Prohibition came to Virginia, and the brewery went out of business.

Our mission is to be a reliable and innovative regional brewer of top-quality beers that are delicious and well balanced, made from the finest ingredients available, and which celebrate their raw materials. http://www.portcitybrewing.com/
