PGHProducer Posted December 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'm sailing the Epic on the January 18th cruise... I'm a craft beer lover... not really a fan of the BMC swill... Does anyone know what, if any, craft beers are available on NCL and particularly the Epic? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishdoyle Posted December 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'm interested too as I'll be sailing on Epic 12/21 sailing and I'm not only a craft brew lover....My husband and I started a craft brewery in our town! Please let there be decent beer onboard! Wish I could smuggle a keg of our own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWulf Posted December 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I found the Getaway beer list... it's probably the same. "Brace" yourselves... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise........well, you'll be less than excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a depressing list. Not an IPA in sight. Ah well. Sam Adams Boston Lager at least has flavor... So that is always an option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had IPA on Seabourn Legend 2 years ago out of St Thomas. It was the St. John Brewer's Island Hoppin' IPA contracted at Shipyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that is always an option... Thank goodness for Sam Adams Boston Lager. Sigh. Some day they will realize that not all beer drinkers want lite/light beer. Same as a wine drinker, I am willing to pay more for better flavor/quality. They just need to offer it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macruise Posted December 20, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I had IPA on Seabourn Legend 2 years ago out of St Thomas. It was the St. John Brewer's Island Hoppin' IPA contracted at Shipyard. I know that this is not the Seabourn forum, but it used to be if you liked a certain drink, you let them know if advance and they would stock it. I am sure that is still the case. I am also a porter/stout fan and wish that there were more selections. I will drink Guinness, but more choices would be great. I wish that they would get the the Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout on the Breakaway for the cool weather sailings. Mishdoyle - which town are you in? luddite - the Coal Porter sounds great. How did you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quercus alba Posted December 20, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) I just accept that I save my craft beer swilling experiences for shore-side vacations. (Or actually, any night out here in MSP!) ...Though I do hear that NCL stocks some Alaskan Brewing specialties on the Alaska cruises.
