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.
