Samuel Adams is teaming up with JetBlue to pioneer "FlytoberFest."

In celebration of October's Great American Beer Festival, the beloved brewing company is hosting a special in-flight beer tasting aboard an October 5 flight from New York to Denver.

Samuel Adams founder and president, Jim Koch, will join passengers on the once-in-a-lifetime journey, according to Fortune.

The lucky guests will sample the brand's popular OctoberFest seasonal brew along with two other special beers 30,000 feet above the ground. They'll also receive a gift bag full of goodies, including a Samuel Adams tasting paddle, opener and OctoberFest hat.

The four-plus hour-long flight is scheduled to depart John F. Kennedy International Airport around 8:22 p.m. ET. on October 5.

Samuel Adams said beer lovers can book a seat now, but the special discount ended September 15. The total fare costs $157 per person, including all taxes and fees.

The offer can only be booked by calling into the JetBlue Business Desk (888-538-2583) and selecting "Option 3."

Once in Denver, travelers will be able to experience one of the world's best destinations for craft beer.
