Rare KeithJenner Posted October 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) They have Bass on tap. Bottles of Newcastle Brown and, if I recall correctly, Boddingtons in cans. That's about it from memory. Edited October 4, 2015 by KeithJenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypleasure Posted October 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2015 We find the beer selection on NCL to be very poor. The 3 "British" beers are pretty pathetic. However, they do have some quite decent German bottles on board the ships in Europe. We do like those quite a lot but they are not cheap so if you don't have a drink package you may have to sacrifice quantity for quality or vice versa.

Becks and Pilsner Urquell seem to be widely available. I have found Warsteiner from time to time and there is a wheat beer as well. I think there is canned Guinness as well.

We just started drinking some flavored beers like "Not your Father's Root Beer" and "Coney Island Hard Root Beer". We are sailing on the Breakaway in November. Any chance that they have these kind of beers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sailing on the Breakaway in November. Any chance that they have these kind of beers? I had a sip of Not Your Father's, and it was like crack (assuming crack is highly addictive ;) )! My husband is not a beer drinker, so when we do go out, I order a beer and he orders a cider, but ever since he discovered this hard root beer he's gotten addicted! Will be interesting to see if it's on any of the ships. It's waaaaay too sweet for my taste buds, but he loves it...so that makes me happy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when they have the German Buffet at lunch time on the Spirit they have quite a large display of the German beers. I will find out more if I can.

I bought a six pack. It's like drinking A & W root beer. Makes me want to put a scoop of ice cream in it......except it is 6%. It is a fun drink to try or have occasionally. But certainly no substitute for real beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sugar high DH was on had him acting like a 6 year-old...or maybe the "beer" had no influence! HA! Regardless, a sip is great, but it really isn't a sub! We first had it in an Irish bar, yes an Irish bar, and then just recently saw that they're selling it at Trader Joe's now.

I thought the ice cream would be a good idea, but found it to be yucky. Now with a shot of Bailey's, that tastes like a root beer float! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
