What beers can I expect out of Syd?

[Yehootu]

We start a 10 day Queensland in March,  followed by 30 day Syd-Yvr. Just wondering what beers might I expect. Food might be subjective, but don’t mess with da beer.😃

If you haven't done so already, you might ask on the Alaska and New Zealand Cruisers board: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/564-australia-new-zealand-cruisers/

 

I think Princess ships have just arrived in Australia within the past week or so for the start of the season.

You should be happy. I went on Majestic for 5 days from LA-Van after it arrived from Australia, and I used OBC to try all the Aussie beers they had left. I think I tried over 10 different ones, but the trick is to go to each bar and see what they have, since the selection will vary for each bar, particularly as a transpacific cruise progresses. It was a mix of mass market and craft beers, and I looked at some beer review sites to get an idea of what was best for me. I remember several Carlton, Victoria Bitter, and my favorite, 4 Pines Pacific Ale.

Victoria Bitters is very good. Also like beers from Carlton breweries, hope they'll have the 4 Pines. Looking forward to it. I'll have 4 months to drop the beer weight from this cruise.
