JohnBudge Posted January 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I was on the Christmas cruise and discovered that they had Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA available for only $5.95 in the Globe and Atlas pub. It wasn't on the menu, but one of the bartenders was kind enough to mention it. Great price for a 9% ABV beer on a cruise ship, IMHO. Cheers.

jc3443 Posted January 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2018 That 90 minute IPA is one of my favorites. Nice to see some good beer on ships, as opposed to Bud/Coors/Corona, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpostman Posted January 3, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) They also had it (Till we drank them all) on Anthem last March much to our surprise as it also wasn't listed. They said they get some in limited quantities every now and then, so they don't list it as regular stock. Another good reason to make friends with the the Barkeeps.(y):beer-mug: dp Edited January 3, 2018 by dpostman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadPhish Posted January 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 3, 2018 When they first got 90 minute in 2016 they got one case on Adventure. That was gone by the 2nd day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted January 3, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Somewhat related, I saw an ad for the new Dog Fish Head 120 minute the other day. I grabbed a 4 pack (doesn't come in 6 packs due to the very high alcohol content?) in my local liquor store while buying wine without looking at the price. The checkout clerk scanned a couple of bottles of wine and then scanned the 120 minute. The next bottle of wine wouldn't scan for some reason so he was asking for help from the manager. I glanced at the cash register which read $35.99. I first thought this was the running total for all scanned items so far, but the numbers didn't add up. I asked the clerk and he said the 4 pack of 120 minute costs $35.99!!! That's worse than cruise ship pricing. I asked him to remove it from my order. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted January 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I made the mistake of asking for an IPA once. The bartender in the pub said they only had Longhammer. Not the best but I'll get by. In walks a guy who orders a Dogfish Head 90. [emoji849] Needless to say we switched it up pretty quick. A teaching moment for both bartender and customer.

Many states, bc of the high alcohol content, only allow selling 120 by the bottle. In the DC area, 11.99 per bottle is typical.

We tried that in Florida before and it was so awful I didn't want to drink it. My hubby strongly advised me to because it was "rare" and $10 for an 8 ounce drink 🤔 Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Luvs2cruise Posted January 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 19, 2018 We are sailing on Oasis in April. First time on an RC cruise. Would someone know about how much beer pricing is? Trying to determine if it is worth getting the drink package. I know specialty and mixed drinks are usually $10 and up. Thanks in advance for any info.

People drinking 2011/2012 bottles recently talked about how good it was. It's also the beer to drink when you're at home and only having 1, with food.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 14, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Apologies, Thought I had responded. But must have been on another thread. All I discovered were Sierra Nevada Pale and Stones IPA. Both at the Globe and Atlas bar on Deck 5. Saw Sierra Nevada at one of the pool bars when passing by. Saw Stones no where else. No one had DFH120 or less. Red Stripe is at various places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theSHAH Posted March 14, 2018 #22 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Let me know when Allagash or Cisco appears on the menus. Sailing on the Symphony next year and crossing my fingers that since Hooked is supposed to be "New England themed" will also theme some New England craft brews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingNole Posted March 15, 2018 #23 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Craft beer is practically nonexistent on RC. Sierra Nevada is mass market, certainly not craft. And Red Stripe? That's as common as a Heineken. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingNole Posted March 15, 2018 #24 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Here's a handy reference from Cruise Critic. I've always heard NCL is the go-to for quality beer - https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=2120 And Carnival has Cigar City...NICE. RCI has some serious catching up to do.

RCI has some serious catching up to do. Carnival's Vista, in addition to making it's own brews ( not the Bud brewed TRF) has a number of other craft beers from SaltWater Brewery and from Angels out of LA ( but brewed under contract at Florida Beer, I've heard) and a couple of others too.
