Carnival Cruise line has partnered up with the Boston Beer Company (more specifically the Alchemy & Science division) to add a brewery on-board its new Carnival Vista vessel.
The A&S Key West-inspired bar, the Red Frog Pub, will be the marketed lead but beers (and the godawful hard soda trend) from Concrete Beach in Miami and Coney Island from New York as well as our local Angel City will be on tap as well.
Friend of the blog and Alchemy & Science brewmaster Jon Carpenter, will be “serving as a consultant and helping to develop the pub’s recipes, Carpenter also helped the cruise company recruit and train Red Frog’s head brewer.”
When the Vista sets sail on its maiden voyage on May 1, the available beers will be the Thirsty Frog Port Hoppin’ IPA, Thirsty Frog Caribbean Wheat, and Frisky Frog Java Stout.
