Scotto97 Posted July 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Can anyone verify whether Alaskan Amber is available on Alaskan cruises now that Seawitch has been discontinued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk04 Posted July 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2017 On the Ruby in June they only had the Summer Ale, not the Amber. Unless they ran out early. DH did not ask for Alaskan beer until later in the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBAlbany Posted July 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2017 So does anyone know the current Alaska beer list? DW and I go start vacation in two weeks. My one negative about Princess is their weak beer choices. That is one of the primary reasons I am going with the AIBP. Great opportunity to taste what the rest of the world drinks without breaking the bank. That and the coffee!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseGal999 Posted July 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2017 You're talking about beer? I thought you were talking about Jewelry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfox211 Posted July 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Alaskan Amber was definitely available on Island Princess in June when we sailed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted July 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 18, 2017 We board the Ruby a week from Saturday and hope they have Alaskan beer. We have been to the brewery in Juneau and had a great time. I am not sure other than visiting the glacier what we will be doing in Juneau this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kellie in Texas Posted July 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2017 This is funny ... I'm in central Texas and our local grocery stores carry Alaskan beer. No need to go all the way to Alaska to get it, although before our Alaskan cruise in 2011, I did buy some Alaska Ale for DH to get in the spirit.

It's not that you need to go all the way to Alaska for Alaskan beer. I can get it here where I live too. The point is that when you are sailing to Alaska, you want to drink something better than Budweiser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I visited Germany, Dos Equis wouldn't be my first choice either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in Skagway (2013) there was a little store near the pier and they gave you those card board carry things for 6 beers and you could mix and match all the different Alaska brews, I carried it back on board and was so nice to sample them all and the different labels were super fun!

We didn't have time to visit, but there is also a brewery in Skagway. I guess their specialty is spruce tip beer. We learned about it on part of our tour. Sounded interesting to some in our group.

Eaglecw Posted July 19, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Alaskan Amber is just Ok, nothing to write home about. The only beer to drink is Elysian. My favorite is Space Dust IPA http://www.elysianbrewing.com/elysian-beers/space-dust-ipa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBAlbany Posted July 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The question though, that has not been answered, is what local brews is Princess carrying on their Alaskan cruises this year. :beer-mug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherryf Posted July 19, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The question though, that has not been answered, is what local brews is Princess carrying on their Alaskan cruises this year. :beer-mug: Previous posters have mentioned Alaskan Amber and Alaskan Summer. These are the ones Princess carried before the introduction of SeaWitch, so it looks like they may have gone back to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with previous posters, at first glance I did think you were asking about the the stone, not the beer.... Maybe re-post with Beer in the title of your thread.... I can't believe in mid July after 2 + full months of sailings that someone can't answer this for you lol :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UserNameRejected Posted July 19, 2017 #18 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Alaskan Amber is just Ok, nothing to write home about. The only beer to drink is Elysian. My favorite is Space Dust IPA http://www.elysianbrewing.com/elysian-beers/space-dust-ipa/[/quote] Look at what is available usually on the ships I would be very happy to see the Alaskan Amber on there otherwise I'm relegated to only Pilsners/Lagers. As for Space dust it's good but far from the only good beer. If you do like IPA's try the Deschutes Fresh Squeezed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
