Carnival to serve popular ThirstyFrog Red beer on more ships

Carnival to serve popular ThirstyFrog Red beer on more ships

The private-label draught beer that debuted on the the 3,690-passenger Carnival Magic in May is being rolled out to the rest of the Carnival Cruise Lines fleet.
The cruise line said that ThirstyFrog Red has been such a hit on the Magic, that it has already been delivered to 15 other Carnival ships, with three more receiving kegs of the brew over the next few weeks.
Carnival debuted the $5.50-a-glass beer in the Magic's Caribbean-themed RedFrog Pub, the first pub ever on a Carnival ship.
During the Magic's inaugural sailing in May, the beer was so popular, it ran dry during the sailing, and more kegs had to be sent to the ship.
The popularity of ThirstyFrog Red, which Carnival describes as a "tasty amber-colored" beer, also speaks to the popularity of the RedFrog Pub, and Carnival has said that the pub itself might also be retrofitted onto more Carnival ships.
