Rare jpalbny Posted July 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Do you mean Uniworld? Brian (PapaBme) did a great review of his sailing earlier this year. Link here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2515483 He would probably know what beer options were on board if you ask. He did say the following: "TIP: If you are a beer drinker make sure you let the bar tender know if you would like to try local beers vs the draft that you will normally get if you just order a beer. I tried 4-5 different beers during the week." So it sounds like he tried most of them. :D Have a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Voyager Posted March 9, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Is it correct to assume that on a Uniworld Rhine/ Moselle cruise, local German beers would be stocked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acwmom Posted March 9, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 9, 2018 They have an included beer list on their website. The Rhine Moselle would be included on their general Europe one. I can't recall which German beers they had, but know they had Kasteel Rouge, and a Trappist beer.

Rare notamermaid Posted March 10, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have had a look at the offerings for Central Europe from 2017. A nice selection: Erdinger (wheat beer) is German (Bavarian), Gösser is Austrian, Gregorius Engelszell is Austrian, Köstritzer is German (Thuringia), La Trappe Tripel is Dutch, Kasteel Rouge is Belgian. Some of those are actually large companies, i.e. you can find them in a conventional drinks shop, they are not tiny exclusive breweries. Nevertheless a nice coverage of European beers. However, as you can see, only La Trappe Tripel would classify as a "local/regional" beer on a Rhine/Moselle river cruise. As Uniworld writes "a selection..." in its advertising online I presume there will be more on offer... For the Moselle for example a more "authentic choice" would be Koblenzer/Königsbacher, Klosterbrauerei Machern and Bitburger (the last one being a bit further away but associated with the wider Moselle region). https://www.uniworld.com/eu/why-uniworld/culinary-excellence/ notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
