westcliffo Posted April 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2017 HI: In March we sailed on the Royal Princess. Although Sea Witch beer was advertised there was none on board. I received a phone call from Princess the other evening and was told that Sea Witch is no longer carried. Does anyone know if they have replaced it with any other micro-brewery? Thank you.

Astro Flyer Posted April 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) HI: In March we sailed on the Royal Princess. Although Sea Witch beer was advertised there was none on board. I received a phone call from Princess the other evening and was told that Sea Witch is no longer carried. Does anyone know if they have replaced it with any other micro-brewery? Thank you. I don't like any IPA but did enjoy their Blonde brew on the Star in January. Previously it wasn't an option when exchanging my elite minibar booze for beer but it was available on that cruise. That's an indication to me that they were getting rid of their Sea Witch inventory & the information you received confirms my thoughts.

satxdiver Posted April 20, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 20, 2017 IPA is my favorite type of beer as I live the hoppy flavor. SeaWitch was a good IPA and I will miss it. I really don't like the tasteless beers that they usually hawk to their pax. It will hold down my bar bill however as I refuse to drink the tasteless liquid they laughingly call beer.

Potstech Posted April 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Terrible nasty tasting beer. I have travelled to many places in the world and tasted many brands of beer and this is without a doubt the worst I ever tasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it wasn't the best I have known, but it was better than any other beer on board. (except for Alaskan Amber on the Alaska cruises!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Dos Equus for me, but as I don't drink anymore, I don't have a problem with different beers;p;p Leaves me with a clear head to collect the rents!

Geoffa30 Posted April 20, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I thought it was nice. Much better than Bud / Bud Lite rubbish they have as an alternative. It's not currently available on the Majestic despite being listed in the drinks menu. Hopefully something else will replace it as the beer selection on Princess is pretty dire.

Hoosier-Cruiser Posted April 20, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I enjoyed the Sea Witch IPA two years ago on the Caribbean Princess. When I was told last month on the Regal that it was no longer carried, I was disappointed. It did keep the bar bill down significantly, though.

Bemidji Ty Posted April 20, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 20, 2017 An honest question. What's the difference between a beer lover and a beer snob? There's got to be a great one line answer. Cheers (with whatever you choose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers (with whatever you choose) Not a one-liner, but a good discussion of what the difference is... http://www.primermagazine.com/2009/live/beer-lover-beer-snob For the record, I thought the Seawitch IPA was okay, the Denali Red was excellent and the Blonde was very good.

Jimmy Geegitz Posted April 22, 2017 #21 Share Posted April 22, 2017 On our Regal cruise last October they had Denali Red on sale 5 for $15. Drank it all cruise. Thought it was decent. I guess they were trying to get rid of it. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailing_scot Posted April 22, 2017 #22 Share Posted April 22, 2017 This a bit of a blow - it was all we drank since they brought it in - really like the IPA. I really hope they replace it with something with some sort of flavour (blue moon is okay - so all is not lost). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeye84 Posted June 2, 2017 #23 Share Posted June 2, 2017 ...For the record, I thought the Seawitch IPA was okay, the Denali Red was excellent and the Blonde was very good. Agreed that the Denali Red was the best and always try to find it on every cruise. The Blonde was my second choice. If you didn't try the Denali Red you missed out on a great beer.
