We liked the Homer Mini DO so much, we couldn’t wait any longer for another one!
Come ride the Alaska Railroad HooDoo Choo Choo Beer Train on Sept 29, 2018:

Cost and all that:
- Location: Fairbanks, AK
- Date: Saturday 9/29 – 4 pm to 8.30 pm.
- Cost: $200 – you have to call to book, info in the link.
- Refundable: recommend confirming terms when you book – it was verbally mentioned to me 90% refund up to 24 hours prior to the event, however the receipt is not entirely clear on that so YMMV.
- As of early 8/17, ~200 of the 240 tickets were still available (however it sells out every year so if you are seriously considering it, decide soon).
Practicalities:
- This is a DIY DO – the only thing that will be arranged is a dinner reservation Friday evening.
- You will need transportation - possibly Lyft/Uber/cab if you are not venturing far or frequent, otherwise rental car.
- There are any number of lodging options for points hounds.
- AS and Ravn fly to FAI and DL seems to still have flights as well.
So, if drinking HooDoo brew (can vouch for it personally) while enjoying dinner on a train ambling through rural Alaska sounds appealing – join us!
Other Mini DO activities will consist of dinner Friday evening Sept 28, tentatively at Silver Gulch Brewery in Fairbanks (America's northernmost brewery). And you never know, you may be treated to the Northern Lights if the conditions are right!
