Chug along on the Alaska Railroad beer tour

The Alaska Railroad will offer the “Great Alaska Beer Train” on Oct. 3, a refreshing ride along Alaska’s scenic Turnagain Arm. The 4 1/2-hour round-trip journey between Anchorage and Portage includes six half-pints of microbrew beer and appetizers by Anchorage’s Glacier BrewHouse.

BrewHouse beer menu standards include Brewhouse Blonde and Oatmeal Stout. Also on the railroad’s horizon is the Blues Train, Sept. 26 and 27, which will travel round trip from Anchorage to Seward and include lunch, appetizers, barbecue dinner, two drink tickets and one night’s hotel stay, as well as blues entertainment, of course.

The Great Alaska Beer Train costs $149 per person; Blues Train costs $249 per person based on double occupancy (for hotel). Passengers must be 21 or older for both. Info: (800) 321-6518, www.alaskarailroad.com.

Dartmoor offers more to see and do than could be included in theaverage holiday to devon or Dartmoor itself. From great attractions forchildren through to museums and the natural attractions that Dartmoorhas to offer such as disused quarries and Railways.
