I believe so, although I imagine the one at 11 dollars probably isn't

[SamAdamsplse]

$9.50 a bottle !!!!!!!! thats a massive markup , i wouldn't call any of those beers craft apart from Camden and Kernel, St Austell Tribute is a great beer, hoping for Sierra Nevada though

[bogofman]

From another post it sounds like no draft in the pub.

how will I last two weeks without draft guineas

 

Hope is not two weeks of fizzy yellow stuff, otherwise know as bud

Old Peculiar! That's an awesome ale :D

[Donsyb]

No sierra nevada on anthem. A couple of brewdog beers were the only real craft beers. On the list i posted above the first few are listed as draft. Most beers are in bottles. They didnt have brooklyn lager.

 

All beers were included in your package up to the relevant limit i.e. $9 for select and $14 for premium. We orderd the fullers vintage ale and just had to pay the $1 difference.

Love Brewdog so they will go down well, bottles of Fuller's Vintage Ale !!!! how many bottles of the Vintage ale are you limited to !!!! at a nice 8.5% ABV .

The two brewdogs were punk IPA and Brixton porter.

 

We bought two vintage ales, not sure if there's a limit? There was none stated. They were in the gift box.

 

The brewdogs and vintage ales were only in Michaels I think.

Did you notice if there were any Magners or strong bow cider onboard.

[SamAdamsplse]

Love Punk, have not tried Brixton Porter yet, i would not call old peculiar craft , more like an old ale, not a patch on Black Sheep though

 

Cheers Iain

Agreed it's an ale not a craft beer

[Dinotoll]

Hopefully that helps, best Craft beer at MICHAELS.

They didn't have all of this though when we were on board e.g. No brooklyn lager.

 

The Michaels home brew was drinkable and the golden glory was good

Also the vintage ale was 15, not 11.

 

This is the menu on display outside Michaels, but the actual menu inside was different

Except none of you actually know what a craft beer is.

 

It doesnt exist. Its a BS marketing term invented by small brewers to try and make their beer sound better than the larger brewers. In Fact its usually not. Small brewers have consistancy problems and they usually have very bad yeast control due to mutations and poor QC.

 

Theakstons is a traditional brewer and all their beer is brewed in the traditional way. I used to work for the company who owned them. Really only Scottish Duechars is a copper vat traditional brewer a true "craft brewer"

 

The rest brew in alum vats and their QC is not great although they are getting better.

 

It always makes me smile when I see the term craft beer

 

I think of craft beer as something you make in a shed:D

Didn't see Magners or Strongbow - but they did have Bulmers in Two70 ;-))

[SamAdamsplse]

When i think of craft beer its always American,Sierra Nevada,Rogue,Deschutes and not forgetting Stone. For craft in the UK i think of,Magic Rock,Brewdog and Kernel. Love Purity beers and Oakham as well

 

Cheers Iain

Strongbow is available in small bottles all over the ship, but is available on tap on the top floor of the music hall. There is another cider on tap in the pub but i can not remember the name

[gwgwilson]

Hi, is the Strongbow included in the Beer & Wine package ?

[oddjob26]

Yes Strongbow is included in the select package in bottle and on tap. Might just have to make it my drink of choice tonight 🍺🍺

[gwgwilson]

Thanks for the reply oddjob26..........wife will be well pleased. .....she can only drink soooo much wine [emoji1]

Slightly pedantic!

 

OK we mean good quality, flavoursome beer not made by big industrial companies. And there are plenty of small breweries out there making consistently great beer.
