gregdude Posted November 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Take a look at the variety of beer now available in the "Mix" on the Veendam.

Boytjie Posted November 8, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hurray for the bigger selection! But really, Bud and Miller 'premium' beer? Blech. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimVrhovac Posted November 8, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The best brew I ever had was a can of budweiser that was 100 degrees. We were at a firebase on the top of a hill in Nam and a chopper delivered a pallet of Budweiser to our Artillery Base. It was compliments of an infantry unit that we had been supporting. It was the best brew that any of us ever had and everytime I drink one it reminds me of that taste. Jim (withoutRuth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assateague Island Princes Posted November 8, 2009 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2009 That is the coolest story, Jim! I will never look at a Budweiser the same again! Thanks for your service to this country....and I'm sure glad you enjoyed that well-deserved Bud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your next Bud, bud, and I'll toast you with my Sam Adams. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K&RCurt Posted November 8, 2009 #9 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Did I see DRAUGHT beer? Yes, I believe I did! I hope this spreads quickly through the fleet! And Jim - That's a great reason to forever enjoy a Bud. I can't say that I approve of Rice and Corn in a beer - But if we ever sail together I'll buy a round of Buds and make a toast to you for your service!

HWY 101 Posted November 9, 2009 #11 Share Posted November 9, 2009 We will buy Jim a beverage of his choice anytime we meet him... Be it Bud, or any other beverage of his choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimVrhovac Posted November 9, 2009 #12 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thank all of you for your kind coments. Anytime we travel together be sure to let me know and we will meet at the bar and share some memories and a couple glasses/bottles/cans of suds Jim (without Ruth) Got a question for you beer lovers. On the ships there is budweiser in the old fashioned cans and in the new aluminum bottles. To me they do not taste the same. Is this my emagination. I still prefer the long neck bottle but will drink out of old fashined can?????????????????? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&RCurt Posted November 9, 2009 #13 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Jim...I'm sorry to say, I think it's your imagination! I work in the Packaging industry. Boh the traditional Aluminum can and the new Aluminum "bottle" are made of basically the same grade of aluminum and have the same coating on the inside. The greater mass of the aluminum "Bottle" help keep the beverage colder longer. I still prefer glass, but the aluminum is a much "greener" alternative due to the drastically lower weight of the container. It is also easier to recycle and poses not cutting risk if dropped as it surley won't shatter like glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim I don't know, but maybe it has something to do with your lips touching metal vs glass. If possible, try a side-by-side test sometime, pouring the beer into a glass in each case. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, every one gets the bottles. Hah. You should hear it around here on recycle day. Crash! It's really funny.

larsenbiz Posted November 9, 2009 #16 Share Posted November 9, 2009 My husband was soooo happy when he saw the new beer list. It is more in line with the beer line-up that Carnival has. I am hoping that this list will be on Eurodam in December and on Zuiderdam next May. I think it is interesting that there are beers on draught as well.

suse Posted November 9, 2009 #17 Share Posted November 9, 2009 REFRESHING Ruth & Jim It's five o'clock somewhere................. Actually, if you are ever on a dock on Block Island, RI, I swear, no lie, you can hear the beer cans pop at noon once the horn goes off. It's a hoot. Ok, Jim, I'm with you on the Bud, but I like Bud light. Ok, now everyone can criticize me. You snobs!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
