Viking Beer Crawl

Aperçu
Why do salmon swim upriver? Do bridge trolls make good security guards? Does that scruffy man drinking a craft beer work on the shipyard, or in tech?

Welcome to life in Seattle. For 3.5 epic hours, we pack in the greatest joys of the Northwest on foot!

This tour pays visit to 2 breweries (under 21 allowed), 2 restaurants and 1 cafe inside the National Nordic Museum, all within walking distance from natural wonders, engineering marvels and a city's proud history.

Food and Drink are included.

Watch Salmon swim upriver to their ancestral spawning grounds with your own eyes!

Raise the bridges (and the boats!) as they have for over 100 years.

Cheers (Skal!) your new friends and eat fish off a stick like the Viking you always knew you were.

Ballard is a short distance from downtown, accessible in 25 min by bus, <15 min by car, or 30 min by scooter/bike share.

The tour includes a total of 2.75 miles of walking on mostly flat ground, but there is plenty of time in-between for rest.

À quoi s'attendre
1
The Lake Washington Ship Canal Fish Ladder
People young and old delight in watching salmon swim upriver from the Ballard Locks fish ladder observation room. There’s a chance to spot salmon migrating year-round, but there’s no doubt the best time to visit is between July and late September.
2
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
Built in 1911, the Ballard Locks pass boats between sea level and the higher elevation fresh waters of Lake Union and Lake Washington.
3
Carl S. English Botanical Garden
7 waterfront acres with curated gardens & rare plants containing more than 500 species and 1,500 varieties of plants from around the world. Locals visit these gardens especially for the fan palms, oaks, Mexican pines, rhododendrons, and a fine display of roses.
4
National Nordic Museum
Entry into the museum is not part of the tour's activities, however, there is still much to do and see. Keep your eyes peeled for the 14 foot tall troll statue made from recycled materials outside the museum's entrance. We will enter the museum to enjoy a Scandinavian inspired treat from the museum's cafe.
5
Marvin's Garden
Built at the site of the old Ballard City Hall, this park marks the start of the Ballard Ave Historical District: one of the best areas in the city for bars, restaurants and shopping. A phenomenal farmers market operates here on Sundays. Sadly, no relation to the Marvin Gardens from Monopoly.
6
Fair Isle Brewing
The tour ends with dessert from the restaurant operating inside one of Seattle's premier breweries. Fair Isle specializes in rustic ales such as saisons and farmhouse ales. Their food offerings match the adventurous nature of their beers.

Such a wonderful walking tour! Our fantastic and knowledgeable guide Will, took us to three bars: Bizarre Brewing, Skål, and Fair Isle Brewing—all featuring their refreshing own spin on what it means to be a brew house in this Scandinavian town. Snacks—like Seasonal Skewers at Skål—were included at each stop. (Although not “Viking,” a bucket of fried chicken at Cookie’s Country Kitchen was too irresistible for our group to pass up.) Along the way, Will brought us up to speed on a bit of Ballard’s history, taking us to see the salmon fish ladders at the Ballard Locks, and walking through its lovely park and gardens. We even made a quick stop in front of the National Nordic Museum to see its towering troll guard, Frankie Feetsplinters, created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. If you’re up for a some local brew and bites—and history—while taking a stroll through Seattle’s own Scandinavian streets, this is the tour for you.
