People enjoying last years trip on the Craft Beer Boat

As it turns out, taking a 4-hour trip around Lake Michigan on a boat while watching fireworks and drinking delicious craft beer and BBQ is a wonderful way to spend an evening. So the Craft Beer Boat is officially a go for 2015.

However, the only way to score a ticket is to drink beer beforehand.

The Craft Beer Boat sets sail on Aug. 26, and you can be entered for a chance to win tickets by Instagramming featured beers or attending one of 10 events between now and Aug. 22. The featured beer comes from breweries like Allagash and Off Color. At the end of each event, there will be a raffle for two tickets aboard the boat.

Participating bars include Links Tap, Black Rock Pub, Hopleaf, Fountainhead, Pub Royale, Monks Pub, Four Moon Tavern, The Green Lady and Rock Island Public House. Get details on the events and how to enter here.
