Beer (guiness) question ? +

[metsgiants]

Can someone tell me what guiness beer is offered. I hope it’s the draught and not he extra stout . Is it from a bottle or the tall can ? Is it draft ? Thanks for any info !!!

my second question would be on the sunrise ship , where is the best bar to get a good martini ? 

[metsgiants]

Alchemy bar !!! Are those martinis covered by cheers package ???

[coevan]

yes, all drinks are included. We love the Alchemy Bar but we found a bartender in the Atrium listening to music before dinner, and she poured the biggest martinis, loved her.

So I don’t need to be in alchemy bar to order a martini ?

They got rid of Guinness maybe two years ago sadly. They replaced it with Sea Cow. On Vista they had a Thirsty Frog stout on tap but I don’t think you’ll find it on ships that don’t have the brewery.

 

LGM!

To add to the previous post, they stopped carrying Guinness when they stopped carrying Strongbow a few years ago.

Yes....all drinks up to 20.00 are covered by Cheers.  If you get a drink at the Alchemy made with Grey Goose VX, it'll be 20.00.  If you get it on the rocks or neat, it'll be 17.00.  If you're a scotch drinker, the Steakhouse bar has a 21 yr old blended scotch by Chivas Regal for 18.00.  Roca Patron tequila is 16.50.  All covered by Cheers.

I'm not Greg but I have tried the Sea Cow. It sure isn't Guinness, one was enough for me.😝

I tried it on my last cruise and found it to be pretty "meh". It's definitely not Guinness.

Sea Cow is a milk stout.  So yes not anywhere close to Guinness. Milk stouts are some what a rage in craft beer circles.  IMO not for Caribbean cruising.  Saltwater Brewing does make a very good stout available at their brewery in Del Ray Beach.  But not canned yet.  On the Vista and Horizon the in ship brewery has a decent stout on tap.  Just the barkeeps can't do a proper pour. In the TRF pubs I think you can still get Newcastle Brown on tap, but there's no stout in cans or bottles.

I usually have one per cruise. It's not great. I liked the Red Frog stout better. Neither are Guinness.

[Saint Greg]

Here is the sea cow. 

 

 

 

This is the Red Frog Stout on Vista. For some reason they only had it in the atrium. And they ran out of it like day 2 or 3 of our cruise.
