Carnival Miracle

Carnival Imagination

Carnival Pride

Carnival Dream

Carnival Legend

Carnival Splendor will be next.

Thirsty Frog tastes like Budwieser, Because it is just Bud American Red kegs with a new lable. I dont know where all this stuff about it being a private brew came from. it is just a marketing ploy by AB and Carnival

It reminded me of Killian's Red when I had it on the Freedom last July.

:) Well then thats a good thing for me , on draft. In a bottle not fond of it , but draft I will like it.

I do not drink beer but DH does and he said it reminded him of Sam Adams. $15 a pitcher pours about 5 beers

[CCLNCLRCICRUISER]

Many say it reminds them of Aruba Red served at Bahama Breeze

[tcgary]

I don't like Budweiser but two weeks ago on the Pride I drank them out of it! So i do not think it is Budweiser. That is all I had and I have the sail and sign bill to prove it. They ran out of itnon the last night....lol I had between 7 and 10 a day.

Same beer, rebranded is all.

 

Bud American Ale = Aruba Red = ThirstyFrog.

 

Carnival "exclusive"? Hardly.

[DocF]

Anheuser-Busch, like virtually every brewer these days, has lots of excess capacity. They have turned to the contract brewing business in a big way to help utilize this capacity. Thirsty Frog Red is a contract product. It is made to Carnival's specifications.

 

Now, with a very few exceptions, beer is beer is beer. Most all of it tastes pretty much the same. The typical U.S beer drinker wants his beer so cold, it has no taste. I learned to drink beer when I was 8 years old and my best friend and I would wander into the old Fox Deluxe brewery in Grand Rapids to visit his dad who was the brewmaster. We would stop and draw ourselves off a draught or two from the lagering tanks before we went to find him.

 

I do know that the Carnival beverage has received very fine reviews from English beer experts. Those guys take their beer very seriously.

The beer is brewed by Anheuser Busch per the bartender on the Magic. However, it is darker than regular Bud and more on the red ale side as others have said. It is decent but not a craft beer. The best thing about it is the price. It's in 20 oz mugs and not much more than regular beer (I think it may be $5.50).

Again? :confused: You've not ever asked me, but since you are now, I'll tell you.

Maybe the bigger breweries, but try some of the smaller breweries. That's like saying all Liquor taste the same.

[michigancruiser0715]

I know this is old (very, very old), but it absolutely does not taste like Budweiser. I hate Bud, but Thirsty Frog Red is delicious!

[crusinpsychRN]

I liked it a lot and don't drink a lot of beer.

Beer is beer is beer? There is over 500 breweries in my state that would disagree.

[DaveRRT]

does not taste like Bud to me. Wife and I drank it in the sports bar last week. Its on draft and cold, tastes ok to us. Just buy one yourself and if you like it drink it and buy more, if not,just drink it

Both are made by Anheuser Busch for their respective venues.

My husband was so excited the first time he had the Aruba Red. It made him feel like he was still on a ship.

Carnival beers are indeed brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev. I'd suggest spending five minutes doing a Google search.

He or she was simply asking the source that it's identical to Budweiser, as the poster he replied to claimed it was (which it is not).
