This drink is named after the Bombay Castle. H.M.S. Bombay Castle (shown in the painting) was a 74-gun ship of the line which ran aground on the shoals at the mouth of the Tagus river on 21st December 1796. attempts to float her off failed and she was abandoned as a wreck.
Spot the obvious mistake on this picture.

I take it that you are referring to the Union Flag flying from the foremast, Rob. Nowadays the Royal Navy only flies a Union Flag from the masthead to indicate the presence of the Sovereign or an Admiral of the Fleet on board. If it is flown from the yardarm it indicates that a court martial is taking place on board.
Admiral Lord Howe flew an earlier version of the Union Flag from the mainmast of the Queen Charlotte at the Battle of the Glorious First of June, according to the famous painting.
We can go even further with the flags Dave.
Look at the age of the ship. There would be no Union nor White Ensign in that period.

This beer is called Shapeshifter, although why that applies to what looks like a giant eel I do not know.
It received a good review on Youtube.

The solution to my query yesterday is that according to Celtic legend the eel can grow legs and walk on land and then return to serpentine form when in water.
Today's offering is a tribute to the U.S. Marine Corps.
This lad from Norfolk should know all about eels Dave.

Here we have Naval beer.
This beer refers to an award for top U.S. Naval cadets.

Modern ships would also include.....

The Brewers wrote,"The Tashmoo Steamer was a steamship which operated between 1900 and 1936. It brought folks from Detroit to Harsens Island for a relaxing time away from home. At least one great romance started aboard that ship.".
Sounds like a nice relaxing cruise Dave.
I could do with one of those myself.

I have never seen Port Jeff before either. Apparently it is an abbreviation for Port Jefferson.
Is that your local pub, Rob?
Where would a mermaid put her purse?
Methinks it is a euphemism or some such other musical instrument Dave.

This drink is named after Admiral Beatty, yet the picture on it Lord Nelson. Perhaps it is a subtle comment.
Certainly looks like the full Nelson to me Dave.

Nelson never had one of these on his ship.
Nor even one of these.

The brewery wrote,"
"Ego Alley" is the famous watergate that goes into the Annapolis city dock and downtown area. Yachts cruise Ego Alley to show off their vanity. It seems only proper to name a beer after this famous watergate and an Annapolis yachting tradition, hence the name."

That is a very old looking label, Rob.
Here is a drink for submariners.
Aye! Nearly as old as me, and it took a bit of finding. I think we are finding the historical period ones a bit more difficult to source now we have done so many. I'll try and scout out one for today.Originally Posted by Naharaht

This drink marks a 'rite of passage' at the U.S. Naval Academy.
The brewery wrote,"
The Herndon Climb is held every May. 21ft high and saturated with 50lbs of lard. "The Climb" signifies a Plebe's ascension to a fourth class Midshipman. A tall glass is needed to pay homage to a tall monument. It was only fitting to create a tasty Pilsner."
A bit of the main shipping lanes but it has got boats on it.

Here is another drink linked to the U.S. Naval Academy. It is one for the 'bad boys'.
About this the brewery has written," Naval Academy graduates and locals will get a kick out of our "Form 2 Bad Behavior Double IPA". Form 2 is a conduct report at the Naval Academy. And the Double IPA? If you know craft beer, you'll make the connection."

The brewery wrote this about the drink,
"There are navy blue varsity letterman sweaters with a gold N awarded to Navy athletes. Then there's the gold sweater with a black "N" on it. Those are worn by Midshipmen who are the "bad boys of the brigade". If you receive enough demerits, you're on your way to a series 6000 status and possible expulsion from the Academy. Ask US Naval Academy Grad Senator John McCain about the Black N. These "bad boys" are considered Legends on and off campus. But the "Black N" letter jacket is banned from being worn on the Naval Academy grounds. So we salute the "bad boy brigade" with our "6000 Black N Bourbon Aged Stout". Sounds delicious doesn't it! "

Here is another drink celebrating something at the U.S. Naval Academy.
The brewers wrote," You might hear Marylanders sometimes refer to Annapolis as "Naptown". Some Midshipmen got together and made a music video dancing through the streets of downtown Annapolis (aka DTA) to the tune "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars. They re-wrote the lyrics and even sang it! They posted it on YouTube as "Naptown Funk". We pay homage to that nickname and the Midshipmen's video with our sour Naptown Funky Lager."
