Kyndal93 Posted August 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) My whole family purchased the drink package, and I noticed the no specialty beer disclaimer. Im curious what specialty beer do they have, I've never seen IPAs or anything on a cruise before, but I know my mom would really enjoy if they did have them. Does anyone have any knowledge about the beer selection? Sailing on Oasis of the Seas, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

Clarea Posted August 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Here is a typical beer selection at the Pub: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=46668454&postcount=12 To my knowledge, the only beer not included in the alcoholic beverage packages is the Chimay Blue 750ml.

DeadPhish Posted August 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) As far as IPAs go there isn't much unfortunately. They always have Redhook Long Hammer on the menu, but they've never actually had it aboard when I was on. 312 is widely available, and while only a pale ale, they have Sierra Nevada. On Adventure in February, they also had Dogfish Head 90 minute which was a nice surprise. But they only had one case aboard and it didnt last long. The bartender said they were trying some things out, hoping for more craft selections in the future. Edited August 24, 2016 by DeadPhish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved to have seen the Dogfish. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something listed on the menu but they don't actually have any on board. Personally I'm not a hop head and prefer malty beers. Bocks and some Porters. I could have missed it, but I've yet to see them even list a Bock on the menu. Of course if they had a better beer selection I would purchase the Select package instead of the Premium. Less money for RCL so maybe not as much incentive to provide a good quantity of anything beyond the Bud/Miller/Coors crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted August 25, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Yea that's the 312. But it's wheat so it's just a meh IPA Goose Island IPA and the 312 ales are 3 different beers. The IPA is a true IPA, the others are 312 Urban Wheat Ale and 312 Urban Pale Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted August 25, 2016 #16 Share Posted August 25, 2016 No one is sailing Royal strictly for the beer menu. I do like the Long Hammer and I've only seen them run out on Brilliance. Celebrity usually has Dogfish Head 90 just don't drink too many while sitting out on deck. It's a long way back to your cabin no matter how close. :eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpostman Posted September 1, 2016 #20 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) What are the odds... I just arrived in Halifax and when I was crossing over the MacDonald Bridge I could see a ship docked with the North Star up in the air. I Got to my hotel and checked in as fast as I could, dropped off my stuff in my room and walked over as fast as I could to the pier but got there about 20 minutes too late. Damn traffic :mad: I got a picture of the anthem but it was already a ways away.:( Am sitting here at Garrison Brewing sampling several different brews so I'm feeling a little better. :D dp Edited September 1, 2016 by dpostman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
