It certainly was Jonas and I am rapidly running out of beers of my own to submit. I think about another month and I will be finished.Originally Posted by TexaS

A souvenir from our vacation in France, départements Nord / Pas-de-Calais.
On a local "fête des bieres" I discovered a booth from the "brasserie-artisanale-white-star" and bought triplet of their "Majestic"-beer series.
I have only tried the "Pale Ale Triple" yet, which is excellent, so I am looking forward to open the other bottles

HMS Erebus was a Hecla-classbomb vessel constructed by the Royal Navy in Pembroke dockyard, Wales, in 1826. The vessel was the second in the Royal Navy named after Erebus, the dark region of Hades in Greek mythology.
The 372-ton ship was armed with two mortars – one 13 in (330 mm) and one 10 in (254 mm) – and 10 guns. The ship took part in the Ross expedition of 1839–1843, and was abandoned in 1848 during the third Franklin expedition. The sunken wreck was discovered by the Canadian Victoria Strait expedition in September 2014.

To accompany their Erebus Winterlong have also produced Terror.
In 1845, explorer Sir John Franklin set sail from England with two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, in search of a Northwest Passage across what is now Canada's Arctic. The ships and crew were last seen by Inuit on King William Island and never returned to England. Their apparent disappearance, prompted a massive search that continued unsuccessfully for nearly 170 years.

Here’s one I doubt has been posted before.
It’s a private bottling for my brother, my stepdad, and me.
The pictures at the bottom of the label are of us sailing on Tre Kronor af Stockholm.

Great one Jonas, and thank you for posting this. Certainly not one we have seen.
I have about four more weeks drinks left before I have to stop. S many drinks later it is getting hard to remember what has been already posted so I can only rely on those I am sure I have not seen before.

Found this at my local Craft-beer store last week.
I think I will buy some cans for our next sailing-trip
Thanks for the input Achim.
I am starting to run short of examples.
It has spurred me on to go seek another one now.

I found another example in the photos on my hard drive:
Norderney is a popular vacation island at the german wadden sea coast.
Since 2012 it has its own craft-beer brewery. (Always when I think I have a good business idea someone is faster than me).
The Norderneyer Pils is a "good-to-drink", straightforward Pils beer, the brewery's pub is always a visit worth if you are on the island.
If I remeber correctly the island of Norderney is also one of the settings in Erskine Childers' novel "The riddle of the sands" (1903) - at least it is in the German TV series from the 80ies.
The island's lighthouse, which can be seen on the label of the bottle, is still in service and can be visited in the summer.
My offering for today is:-

Here is my last example for the moment.
It is another souvenir from our trip to France this autumn.
The "La Bas Varoise" brewery is a small enterprise in southern France, in the vicinity of St-Cyr-sur-mer.
The "nautical relation" of the "Bière marine" is not achieved with the simple label, but with the ingredients:
The beer is flavoured with sea salt from the Mediterranean.

This is really the perfect beer for this occasion.
I will try to get it next year.
Also from my side a merry christmas to all of you
I am spending the holiday season in Scotland with my daughter....I saw this pub in Glasgow and thought of you all....
In this festive holiday season, I fully embrace the pub's credo:
Have a very happy Christmas Bill.
Just sorry we still can't meet up.
I will drink a wee dram this evening in your honour.
I may end up abandoned, but as a well known naval hero of yours once advocated * "I won't give up the ship."

From the Vocation Brewery at Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire comes a New England Pale Ale called Perfect Storm.
I saw it on sale in my local ASDA store yesterday.

A new find that was offered to me
Too bad you can't share it with the crew of my ship
Very flavored there is: sugar, caramel, natural cherry flavor, vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon, clove & nutmeg; and of course Caribbean rhum
Nice one Chee.
I will have to find something good for today. Getting close to having exhausted the nautical beers range now.

In our this year's summer vacation I found something to revive this old thread:
Of course the Aland islands have their own craft beer brewery, Stallhagen.
And of course they make a beer named after their islands' popular symbol:
Pommern Pale Ale
Nice one Achim, and good of you to keep my thread going with this life support intervention.

96 Pages of sea-related beverages. I say!
Thankfully, the deck of the ship is careening in the swell to support everyone standing straight!
Let the men drink another tot.

This weekend we made a trip to Bruges in Belgium.
If you are interested in beer and/or chocolate this is the place to visit.
Among the incredible amount of different beers sold all over in the town I found one with a "Nautical" label I haven't seen before.
The "Pannepot vintage ale" is a strong, dark brown ale from Flanders.
The "story" behind it, as it was told to me: The beer is a tribute to the Ale drunken by local fishermen from a village called "De Panne" at the coast of Flanders, and their boats were called "Pannepots".
Thanks for propping up this thread Achim. I thought it was all but extinct.

As it happens, today I threw away a beer bottle that would have fit here. It had a ship on it and the brandname was "Störtebeker" (a notorious pirate of the time of the Hanse). We drank it during our first round of SoG. I found a picture in the net, though.
Probably, it was the first one in that row:

We really ran out of wind on this one with the passing of Admiral Naharaht (Dave) last year.

Already seen on this site but always a pleasure to taste
Found this picture, did not have a chance to drink it, though:
It is some German wordplay:
heulen / rumheulen = to whine
Rum = rum
Heul nicht rum = Don`t whine! / Cut whining! OR "Don't whine" rum

P.S.
The best thing about German humour (mark the humour not humor - this is serious):
The joke has to be explained...
