It is popular in USA and they sell it on Princess ships. Like any light beer thin and not much flavour, light on alcohol and calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get too excited Phillip, it is only 'being looked at' according to the Minister - Dan Tehan. Like all these scheduled cruises being sold currently, it does not mean they will be sailing.

Nothing about the crazy requirement regarding Australian staff that was made by the Australian Border Force. "The government is insisting cruise ship operators wanting to sail Australian waters must employ Australians to take on hospitality and other non-specialised jobs, despite a shortage of such staff across the country."

Ondine Posted June 1, 2021 #4185 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Don't get excited about Pacific Explorer going to Manila. Think it might have been Alfie (I could be wrong) who told us at the end of his previous video that they would be going there to drop off and pick up replacement crew. He has got a new video out this morning from Manila and he does not sound very happy. Rather deflated I thought. He was meant to finish his stint mid May and it now looks like it will be July before he can get off. I will believe something is happening with P&O Au when Golden goes into dry dock to have her makeover and not before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 1, 2021 #4189 Share Posted June 1, 2021 2 hours ago, NSWP said: Budweiser is a beer Mic, big in USA. I have the odd one as their is a rice component, not much gluten. Bud has been on the market since the late 1800's, known as 'The King of Beers.' A slightly sweetish brew with not much head, but I don't mind it, but then I am restricted gluten wise, it has been rated as low gluten in USA. 4.5% abv. On the ships they sell it in the red metal bottles, here in glass. It may look like a beer and is advertised as a beer but it is not anything but diluted deer urine. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now make Budweiser 'King of Beers' (USA) in Melbourne, so straight up ye olde Hume Hwy with a few cartons of 'Bud' for ye Mic. The relationship between Bud and Beer is purely fictional. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic, Not quite. It's not deer urine. I have it on authority that it is Cat ****. Gives it a stronger flavor to compensate for the additional water and lack of aging. Maybe you use deer in Oz but up here they use cats to accommodate American tastes. It gives it a nice golden color and it also provides a good foamy head. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
