I am curious to hear which beers were available on the Alaskan cruises. I assume that they did not have Cigar City stuff once they leave Port Canaveral. I will be stocking up at the liquor stores in port too...any intel on what types of beer people have been finding in Skagway and Juneau?
sPhinz, you seem to be a pretty big beer geek like me...so you will appreciate that I already have my suitcase packed with my beer for the trip that we leave for next week. I have four 750 ml bottles packed for my buddy and me to drink. I assume that that cruise staff will just think they are wine bottles and let them pass through the inspection when we check in. I have a Black Tuesday, a Melange 3 and Fruet (all Bruery beers) and a bottle of Alesmith BA Numbskull. Others in our crew are bringing on a bunch of six-packs of local IPAs for day drinking and we will do the big BA beers at night after dinner. Cheers!
My dad wants to go here when we're in Nassau. Is it easy walking distance? We've never been to Nassau, and on the map it looks super close, but being unfamiliar with the port, I don't know how far the walk will feel to my dad, who is older and kinda slow...If you get off the ship in Nassau, there's a craft brewery nearby. Pirate Republic Brewing.
That's going to be my Nassau excursion in a month It does look easy to get to.My dad wants to go here when we're in Nassau. Is it easy walking distance?

Has anyone on this thread done the tour? Tripadvisor folks have enjoyed it, but there is no info given on the web-site, that I can see anyway.
I like Ten Fidy and all, but I think I would have to resort to a 6 pack of these and pray they don't look at the ABV...one of these and I'm good for the night.

The people at Pirate Republic are super nice and a good source of info on Nassau.Yes, Pirate Republic is a short and easy walk from the ship. It's to the right on the 1st street once you get out of the dock. Maybe a 5 minute walk the ship.
That was how I was after an evening of drinking lighter craft beers. I opened a bottle of Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout (they don't list the ABV, so I figured what the heck) and started in on it. My friend messaged me when he saw my Untappd post and said, "You're done for the night."
I don't think I drank anything else after that, but the rest of the evening is a bit fuzzy.
That said, if you really wanted to push the boundaries, pack a sixer of Armageddon. It might cost a lot, but...

DFH WW Stout generally clocks in at 18%. Same with their 120 Minute IPA, which takes me about 2-3 hours to drink 12 oz.
If you get the beer mug package, do people walk around ship carrying those or do most use the token?
I get the token on board too. I brought the mug home and am debating if I want to lug it back to my next cruise or just get another one ...decisions decisions...I tend to grab the token while onboard and then bring the mug home. I take the mug back with me on the next trip, although I do have an extra token lying around here somewhere.
