These Beer Dinners Offer an Escape to the San Juan Islands

Two upcoming beer dinners offer you more than food and beer. They offer an opportunity to escape the daily grind of city life and spend some time in the San Juan Islands. How relaxing does that sound?

The Bluff Restaurant • Bar • Terrace at Friday Harbor House is hosting two upcoming beer dinners. One with Island Hoppin’ Brewery on March 15 and the other with Anacortes Brewery on April 5. The restaurant is located at Friday Harbor House, a 23-room hotel on a bluff overlooking the town, the harbor, the marina, the water, and the ferry boats as they come and go. It just keeps sounding more and more relaxing, doesn’t it?

The menus and details for both dinners are below. Friday Harbor House Executive Chef Aaron Rock has a couple of amazing meals planned, featuring delicious bites such as Leek and Crab Terrine, Smoked Steelhead on Toasted Brioche, Baked Olympic Oysters, Dark Chocolate Cake, and more. All expertly paired with beers from Island Hoppin’ Brewery and Anacortes Brewery. Is there a better way to spend your Saturday night?

Make a weekend of it. Beer dinner and stay Friday or Saturday night in a Harbor View Queen room with rates starting at $229.*
