Princess Penguin Posted July 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2018 We are doing a B2B2B on Princess next February and have the drink package. This will be our first time sailing out of Australia. What local beers will be on board? So excited to see Australia and New Zealand! Sent from my SM-T813 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getting older slowly Posted July 12, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Beer a very important thing... if you are interested Princess Penguin Go to the Princess Cruises Board and look for the thread How can Princess accomodate 3K passengers and have NO drinkable beer? https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2652283 Beer is a very serious thing... I like mine served cold. Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted July 12, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thanks - Fat Yak sounds like a winner! Sent from my SM-T813 using Forums mobile app If you get a chance also try a Wild Yak and a Lazy Yak. Fat Yak is styled on an American Pale Ale. Lazy Yak is styled as a Session Ale. Wild Yak is styled as a Pacific Pale Ale. Wild Yak is my favourite. https://www.yak-ales.com.au/product/wild-yak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare Princess put that horrible Fourex Gold on board, ok to put it on P&O and Carnival for the masses. But Princess Cruisers are discerning people, Peroni and Heineken, please.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getting older slowly Posted July 30, 2018 #25 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi Lyndarra, I got my Boags at another shop... but I should point out is was only a small BWS store...... My point is that even a small bottle shop can't stock what you want, so it must to very hard for Princess to choose a drink lists to please most of us. PS if you like Boags have you tried their Wizard Smith very nice but only available in Northern Tassie Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
