From Heavy Seas:
MIAMI (November 13, 2015) — Heavy Seas Beer is the latest locally brewed beer to be featured
on a Carnival Cruise Line ship. Based in Baltimore, Heavy Seas is now served on Carnival
Pride, which sails seven-day cruises year-round from the Port of Baltimore.
With the addition of Heavy Seas’ pirate-themed Loose Cannon and Crossbones beers, Carnival
ships now offer an expansive selection of craft beers and microbrews with more than a dozen locally
brewed beers from cities and states where its ships are home ported.
“Craft beer continues to grow in popularity and we’re very pleased to expand our beverage
menus to include an array of refreshing and satisfying beers from some of the top breweries in the
country,” said Eddie Allen, Carnival’s vice president of beverage operations. Allen noted that
Carnival also offers its own private label draught beer, ThirstyFrog Red, which is available throughout
the fleet.
"Heavy Seas Beer is proud and excited to partner with Carnival Cruise Line to introduce our
unique, boldly flavored craft beers to a new audience,” said Fred Crudder, director of marketing and
hospitality for Heavy Seas Beer. “It's time for Heavy Seas on the high seas!"
Heavy Seas Beer was founded in 1995, and its award-winning portfolio features beers for all
tastes and occasions. From crisp, light-bodied session beers, traditional European styles and dynamic
American craft specialties to strong barrel-aged beers, the company brews a full spectrum of beers.
Craft beers and microbrews are also available on ships operating from the following homeports
and cruising regions:
Galveston: Shiner Bock and Shiner Premium
New Orleans: Abita Amber and Abita Purple Haze
Florida: Tampa-brewed Cigar City Florida Cracker and Cigar City Invasion Pale Ale
Alaska: Alaskan Amber and Alaskan White
Hawaii: Bikini Blonde Lager and Mana Wheat beers from Maui Brewing Co.
Additional specialty beers from breweries in New York, California and Florida are scheduled to
be added in the near future.
