I haven't had one in many years and you're right; it probably doesn't taste the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Royal Caribbean's choice of brews is most likely dictated by the masses. I frequent BJ's Bar & Grill, which has a zillion beers on tap, and more often than not, people within earshot order Bud Light or some other light beer. Wasn't on tap when I was there two weeks ago😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandect Posted July 25, 2022 #87 Share Posted July 25, 2022 My favorite: Pilsner Urquell - Brewed only in Plzeñ, Czech Republic - The Original Pilsner. It is sometimes hard to find on Royal but I find it easier on the Med cruises, or the TA's back to the US from the Med. Thanks for asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2chiefs Posted July 25, 2022 #88 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Reading this thread made me nostalgic when growing up in Wisconsin so I put together some images of beers tht were very popular during that time. Most are still around but owned by different companies.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baelor Posted July 25, 2022 #93 Share Posted July 25, 2022 None. I would not even drink all but one or two of the beers even if they were free. Guiness is fine if I am eating soda bread or something. Stone IPA is fine. Pilsner Urquell if I want something watery...I mean, a pilsner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a great selection of beers that unfortunately are only very subtly different. Blue Moon is about as dark and flavorful as their selection gets though. You have to go to Playmakers where they have a bunch of fun stuff on draft to find anything interesting. I know you jest. But seriously. Try the Paulaner double bock for a very robust beverage. If you want to enjoy several beers have the Modelo Negra. It is a very nice dark Bavarian style beer. There are options in the Pub. If you like them, ask your bartender at a different bar to see if they can stock a few for you. That has worked for me in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the rec; I was unaware of it since it is not listed in my menu! 7% ABV is generally my minimum just based on the beers I like to drink, so nice to know there is a somewhat strong beer at 8%.

Ret MP Posted July 25, 2022 Author #100 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Sol beer. Available on some ships at some bars. On the Allure, the only place I found it was at the bar just outside of Sabor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
