MIAMI, May 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate
American Craft Beer Week, Carnival Cruise Line has created a
special one-of-a-kind tropical-flavored beer served exclusively at
Carnival Vista's RedFrog Pub & Brewery, the first brewery
aboard a North American-based cruise ship.
The new Miami Guava Wheat beer was unveiled this weekend at a
shipboard ceremony during which Carnival Vista's expert brewmaster
Colin Presby tapped the first cask
of the deliciously refreshing new brew. Guests on board were
the first to sample the highly drinkable beer, hand-crafted by
Presby using the finest ingredients and inspired by Carnival
Vista's Miami homeport.
Miami Guava Wheat reflects the tropics with a light body and
palate-pleasing notes of tangy pink guava, the primary ingredient
in Miami's ever-popular guava
pastries.
"Since Carnival Vista began sailing from Miami, I've become fascinated by tropical
fruit and Cuban cuisine so I'm beyond thrilled to create this new
Miami Guava Wheat in honor of American Craft Beer Week for our
guests to enjoy," Presby said.
Available on a limited basis, Miami Guava Wheat joins the three
other original draft beers brewed only onboard Carnival Vista --
ThirstyFrog Port Hoppin' IPA offering aromatic, floral and hoppy
notes with tropical and citrus overtones; ThirstyFrog Caribbean
Wheat, an unfiltered wheat beer with flavors of orange and spices;
and FriskyFrog Java Stout, a take on a traditional stout, rich and
creamy with hints of coffee.
The brewed-on-board beers are just several of the many
innovative food and beverage offerings on Carnival Vista which also
features the cocktail pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, the New
England-inspired Seafood Shack, JiJi Asian Kitchen serving
authentic cuisine from across the Far East, Fahrenheit 555
steakhouse, and Cucina del Capitano, a family-style Italian
eatery.
Other features aboard Carnival Vista include a groundbreaking
bike-ride-in-the-sky attraction called SkyRide, the first IMAX
Theatre at sea, Family Harbor featuring family-friendly
accommodations and the Family Harbor Lounge, and vibrant
Havana staterooms and suites with
exclusive daytime access to a Cuban-themed bar and pool.
Carnival Vista operates six- and eight-day Caribbean cruises from PortMiami to the
Caribbean and will shift to
Galveston, Texas, in fall 2018
when its sister ship, Carnival Horizon, launches year-round service
from Miami.
