Pitchers of Beer on the Epic?

[sixesandeights]

Does anyone know if they still sell pitchers on the Epic? I found a post from 2010 that mentioned them being 15.81 after tip, but I am sure that has changed by now. If they do have pitchers is the price different per beer? What beers do they have on draft?

We never saw any pitchers but purchased buckets of beer, where it was buy 5 and get the 6th beer free. My husband (after a lot of testing) says the best one to buy were the fosters beers, because by ounces they were the best deal...traveling with a financial analysist is never easy:cool:

The pitchers are sold in O'Sheehan's if anywhere (beer buckets are available in all bars) - I'm not a beer drinker so I can't help with the availability or other info about the pitchers.

I think they may sell them, yes.

 

I go for the buckets, as it's just me drinking them and a pitcher would be standing around for a while, but I'm sure I recall seeing them.

I just got off the Epic last week. O'Sheehan's sells pitchers for total $15.81 with gratuity. They have plastic but since I was the only drinker, they gave me a chilled stainless steel pitcher which kept the Newcastle good and cold the entire time.

The pitcher holds a little over three tall glasses of beer, which go for $6.84 each. A 12 oz bottle of Newcastle is $6.04.

A 16 oz aluminum bottle of miller lite is 6.33.

 

I remember Newcastle and Stella being on tap. But there were others. (Though NO Irish beers)

 

If you get the bucket of beer and ice melts away, get another bucket of just ice from any bar or waiter. They don't mind.

I didn't know they sold pitchers! That made excited! ( Like any irish girl) By any chance do they have them on all cruises? Particularly the Star? :)

Alongs these lines of beer talk.....do we have to drink the bucket where we bought it? I'm wondering if we can buy a bucket or two and keep a stash in our refridgerator in the cabin.

You're free to take it wherever you want. We usually buy a bucket even if were just having a bottle each, and take the rest to our room. Your room steward will take the bucket away when you're done.

Thank you.....I thought there may be a maritime law on the books that says you must finish your bucket of beer at point of sale. :rolleyes:

 

Our week of drinking is starting to shape up nicely.....:)

I keep reading this subject line as "pictures of beer" instead of "pitchers", and so I keep clicking on this thread to see the pictures. I'm at work, and apparently I'm ready to see some beer.

One of the great things about cruising is how acceptable it is to wander around with drinks. After your meal, just grab your bottle of wine and move on to your next destination with it. Carry your bucket of beer around with you. Nobody cares.

Shame I didn't read your post a couple of hours ago. I'd have taken a picture of the beer I was drinking outside my hotel in Barcelona as we prepare to get on the Spirit tomorrow. :)

Sorry, OP, I feel that I'm hijacking, but I've got these trained cruise drinkers here at I don't want to let them go. Next question: wine glasses on the pool decks. Are they plastic shaped wine glasses or just plain ole plastic cups? It makes a difference. Believe me. ;)
