MIAMI, Nov. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 homeported.
"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
