New Craft Beer Menu Revealed For Carnival Horizon

Carnival Cruise Line has revealed a new craft beer menu for it’s newest ship, Carnival Horizon.

Set to debut in April 2018, Carnival Horizon will have four new beers, which will all be brewed onboard. The beers have all been designed to compliment the cruise line’s new venue, Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse Brewhouse.

The beers were developed by Carnival Cruise Line’s brewmaster, Colin Presby and will all be on offer at the restaurant sponsored by celebrity chef, Guy Fieri. This new dining concept will combine a brewery and a full-service restaurant which will serve buffet-style lunch and an a la carte dinner, focusing on smoked meats.

The new beers have names which are a playful take on the line’s popular ThirstyFrog brews that debuted on Carnival Vista and 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

The announcement was made by Colin Presby and Carnival Vice President of Beverage Operations, Edward Allen at a traditional keg-tapping ceremony held onboard Carnival Vista.
