kapcruiser Posted November 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Does anyone have any information on the brewery tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted November 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2016 While we have not done it we talked to the brewmaster on the Vista and he was very open about explaining about it. It is there to see in the Red Frog Pub. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitzgall Posted November 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I did it on the inaugural cruise :) It was well worth it for the free beer alone! Plus, the brewmaster is very knowledgeable and had answers to every single question (even off-the-wall ones). The one thing I did notice is that the tours fill up super quick and they only do them a few times during the cruise so sign up as early as possible. At the end, you also got a certificate with your name on it saying you did the brew tour...nice touch...I'll try to remember to scan it in later to post here.

JinxyB Posted November 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Where do you sign up? I would love to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgee109 Posted November 20, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2016 You sign up in the Red Frog Pub. I think they offer the tour on every sea day. Cost was $15.00 but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skleeb Posted November 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Can you sign up before boarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgee109 Posted November 26, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2016 No, you can only sign up on board. I would recommend going to the pub on embarkation day to sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted November 26, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Thanks for the information about tour of the brewery. I brew beer at home and would love to pick the brew master's brain (LOL) On the Vista for New Years Eve so for sure I will book the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cccer Posted November 27, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Yes there is a cost but they include four pitchers of beer per table. We only had 5 people at the table so we all got quite a bit. Very good tour especially if you brew your own beer. We went the first day to sign up and were told to come back the next day. We did and were able to sign up. Since this was a very port intensive tour we only had one day at sea but they had three brewery tours on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matymil Posted November 27, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Cost is here: We went on Nov 5th and the cost was only $12. Best part of the cruise. Loved the tour, loved the beer and Colin the brewmaster is awesome. Red Frog pub was our favorite hangout spot as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smarks Posted November 28, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Wow, thanks for the info. I missed this somehow. Good to know. I am booking the Vista on my next cruise. I will be sure to head to the Red Frog Pub (my favorite place) as soon as I board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitzgall Posted November 30, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 30, 2016 He is a friendly unique type guy. Spent a little time with him at the naming ceremony in New York and he sure does love his job. That's great. I couldn't remember his name until you mentioned it but Colin is great and agreed that he's almost too excited about his job. He was on the maiden voyage and shared that he was actually on the ship earlier to make sure everything was set up correctly and that they had a few batches of beer that would be ready for the maiden voyage. The tour is sooo worth it and I'm glad to hear he's still involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMoai Posted February 11, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Heading to the Red Frog immediately when we board next week! I love craft beer and have home brewed for years so this tour may be the highlight of the cruise.:p:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestown478 Posted February 11, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 11, 2018 it was $25 a person on our January cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMoai Posted February 12, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 12, 2018 That sounds reasonable. You got a glass and samples of all the beers too right? Is it basically a flight of 4 oz pours? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCowboy9 Posted February 12, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yes, went last summer and believe is more like $20-$25. But you get free beer during the tour, your certificate gets you one additional beer later during the cruise, and you get to keep a nice beer glass.

zabnee Posted February 12, 2018 #23 Share Posted February 12, 2018 . But you get free beer during the tour, your certificate gets you one additional beer later during the cruise, and you get to keep a nice beer glass. This is exactly as it was for the last two weeks, at $24.95. Tours are usually sea das at 1 and 2:30 (presuming enough sign ups), though sometimes they will do an extra at 11am, if needed.
