Your favourite beer on a ferry

[NathanBrady]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a long tradition of enjoying a pint (or 3) on any ferry trip - but what is your favourite beer to enjoy on a ferry.  For me it has to be Heineken - not too light and not to heavy.  Tend to stick to Guinness on dry land though!

Definitely enjoy a nice pint on the ferry myself!  Not really fussed what it is so long as it isn't Budweiser and the person pouring it knows what they are doing!

Far too much Stella on ferries!

The best used to be Kronenberg on Brittany Ferries.

Must admit I tend to do premium lounges and absolutely exploit the inclusive wine

I agree about the Stella - AmBev must have a few good deals with operators.  The Carlsberg onboard Norse Merchant was surprisingly good (for Carlsberg).  As was the price for a pitcher of the stuff :D !

Travelling on IF for the first time week after next - Isle of Inishmore and then Oscar Wilde, looking forward to seeing the beer choices onboard...so far my favourite ferry beer is San Miguel on Brittany Ferries, bottled only but still excellent.

Used to be Guinness, Budweiser, Stella Artois 4 (which is even worse than normal Stella Artois) and I think Bass.  Might be different now.

When I travelled recently, it was Heineken, Fosters and Guinness. I think the cider was Strongbow. They must have changed brewery or something.

Yup, that's what it was yesterday as well.

Heineken and Fosters don't tend to be popular offerings in bars.

One vivid memory of getting a Grolsch on the Felicity to enjoy with a fresh pizza many many years ago (Rosslare - Fishguard for new readers - early 90's) always thought the bottle contained some amazing exotic beer, the experience did not match the theatre of opening the bottle, the ferry more than made up for it though.

Last time I was "down south" Heineken seemed to be everywhere!  Doesn't mean people buy it though I suppose :).  I am partial to the odd pint or three of Heineken myself

Ah yes Grolsch and the Felicity happy memories :) Enjoyed on many a crossing while on the duty free run! Now a days a pint or three of Heinken goes down well!
