Carnival Cruise Line has announced the names of the four craft beers that will be brewed onboard the new Carnival Horizon which is set to make her debut on April 2, 2018.
Colin Presby, Carnival Cruise Lines expert brewmaster created these mouth quenching new beers and will be offered at Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse/Brewhouse, a new dining concept that combines an onboard brewery with a full service restaurant featuring some BBQ favorites and sides developed by Food Network star Guy Fieri.
The announcement was made by Presby and Carnival Vice President of Beverage Operations Edward Allen at a traditional keg tapping ceremony held aboard Carnival Vista, the first North American based cruise ship to feature an onboard brewery.
The names of the four new beers on the Carnival Horizon will include:
• ParchedPig Smoked Porter ~ brewed with in house smoked malt, this robust, full bodied beer offers big and bold flavors and notes of molasses and hickory smoke, providing the perfect complement to Smokehouse/Brewhouse’s BBQ favorites
• ParchedPig Farmhouse Ale ~ this lightly hopped beer is distinguished by its blond color, fruity and complex character with mild spice notes that balance the brew’s dry finish
• ParchedPig Toasted Amber Ale ~ highlighted by its rich amber color and notes of toasted caramel and biscuit, this beer is well balanced, smooth and highly drinkable
• ParchedPig West Coast IPA ~ the embodiment of a traditional West Coast India Pale Ale, this hoppy, intense beer is loaded with bitterness with a bright flavor profile and distinctive aroma of citrus and pine
“Smokehouse/Brewhouse is a unique culinary concept and we’ve created four fantastic brewed onboard craft beers that not only showcase different tastes and brewing styles but also serve as the ideal accompaniment to the venue’s delicious array of barbecue offerings,” said Presby.
The brewery takes center stage at Smokehouse/Brewhouse, which, in addition to delicious craft beers and custom cocktails, will offer a rustic, down home décor as well as a variety of Fieri designed favorites, all smoked “low and slow” using the chef’s signature rubs and spices. The tantalizing offerings include smoked onboard brisket, Memphis style back ribs, dry rubbed chicken, pulled pork, and cedar smoked salmon, along with the chef’s own take on traditional sides and his signature sauces. Dinner menu items are offered on an a la carte basis with a free of charge self service BBQ lunch buffet available on embarkation day and sea days.
