Favourite Nautical related tipple.

[Bligh]

For those of you who like something with a nautical flavour which is lighter than the Rum, Brandy, or Gin.
Trying to keep things in the spirit of the Navy, how about these two beers my brave lads.



Bligh.

[Naharaht]

There is this as well.

[7eat51]

Quite nice. Though I dislike the contents, I wouldn't mind starting a collection of such bottles.

[Bligh]

I was hoping that we might get an example of such ales with a nautical flavour from around the world when I started this. Thanks for kick starting us Dave.

Rep takes you over 50 Dave. Put in for your medal.

Wisconsin has a ton of microbreweries and many do have a nautical theme. Without much searching I found tributes to Commodore Perry (Ale) and the Edmund Fitzgerald (Porter). If you want more let me know?

Yes please Jim.

[Union Jack]

A few:




and lastly with a non nautical theme but in keeping with the other side of the hobby

[Nightmoss]

Oh, I forgot to mention the slogan for Commodore Perry Ale. . . ."Don't Give Up the Sip".

I'll post a few more if/when I track them down.

Nothing like a little bit of research to open ones eyes. It would seem Wisconsin is well known for craft beers and microbreweries. Our state ranked 11th last year and the boom continues. While I didn't find a huge number of nautical themed beer names here are a couple more. If you want unusual names for beers Wisconsin definitely has a few.

Couldn't resist posting this one. Wiseacre Brewing, Memphis, TN

I have discovered that there is a Shipyard Brewing Company in Portland, Maine. Here is a picture of some of their products.


Can any of our U.S. members tell me whether they actually make ale from pumpkins?

Yes, they do.

Well, I don't think I have an excuse to not start collecting. We have several nice stores in town that carry a wide range of microbrewery beers. Next week, I will make a visit.

[Naharaht]

Here is another option.

[Bligh]

Another nice one Dave.
Rob.

[Naharaht]

Adnams produce lots of nautically named beers. It may be because they are based in Southwold, Suffolk on the East Coast.


By the way, I am not an alcoholic.

[Bligh]

They also produce some very palatable ales.
Rob.

[Dr.Maturin]

I like Sharp's Doom Bar, both the taste and the name. Could have Nautical connotations? A dark night, a hidden sandbank, a strong wind! That sort of thing.

[Bligh]

I think that is pushing my brief a bit too far Reg, but I do like your thinking.
As they don't explain the actual meaning on the bottle I will let you run with that one, but I don't want anyone else getting fancy Board of the Admiralty ideas like this one. Keep to the script . If you want a thread on drinks in general open another thread please.

Sorry, I didn't know that the label had to tell a story which is why I made one up. Quite a good one I thought!

[Bligh]

It was an excellent tale Reg, and you don't need to tell a story. It is just that the beer must have a picture with an actual nautical theme. I can see I did not set the parameters accurately enough. A ship, sailor or dockyard, or even mermaid or whale might pass, but an iceberg might be pushing it a bit, because the connection is a bit more obtuse.
Let's open it up a bit and see how ingenious people can be then. Doom bar is in!

And don't try this at home chaps.



No Sails.

Bligh.

[Gunner]

Time to bring out the big guns AARGH!.
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Piraat is a wickedly rich and rounded brew that packs a mighty punch 10.5%. The powerful glow builds up from inside. Deep golden with a subtle haze. Lots of hops and malt. Mild sweetness. Reminiscent of bread dough, spices and tropical fruits.

[Bligh]

Now that sounds like something really worth swashing your buckle for Ed.
Good find.
Bligh.

[Dr.Maturin]

OK, OK lets stop all this beer nonsense and break open a cask of Rum to celebrate my (very) recent promotion from Landsman to Ordinary (I like to think that the prefix 'Extra' was left off by mistake) Seaman. All right so I've already had a couple but all are welcome to join me on the Lower Deck to get a couple in before I pass out.
Maturin

[Naharaht]

Congratulations on your promotion, Reg.

[Bligh]

Congratulations on your promotion Reg, and whilst I appreciate your desire to Splice the Mainbrace, I will stick to toasting you in a beverage more suitable to the thread if you don't mind.
Bligh.

[Nightmoss]

Congrats Reg!

[Bligh]

And today's guest ale is............




Rob.

[7eat51]

Congratulations, Reg.

It's a shame I dislike the taste of beer with respect to drinking; I enjoy it in marinades, doughs, etc. I have tried 300+ beers from around the world, including home-brews, but nothing has tempted me to a second taste but one.

[Gunner]

Not even on the 3rd, 9th, 14th and my favorite the 19th hole as long as they serve Samuel Adams Boston Lager?

[7eat51]

Let's see, I golfed with three of my graduating seniors this past May after our last class together. The time before that was around 2000 with three friends. The time before that was in 1991 after the first Gulf War with my ECM shop mates. So, we're looking at once per decade, not enough times to develop a taste.

I always try when someone has one I never tried before, but a sip never grows to more.

[Gunner]

You have a lot of catching up to do.

[Naharaht]

These are from a different era but they are nautical.

[Bligh]

Well it says Frigate Dave so I won't give you the bird on this one.
I think we are exhausting the supplies here. I may need to extend the parameters to include all shipping.
Rob.

[Naharaht]

Here is another seasonal one.

[Bligh]

Another good find Dave.
Yo-Ho-Ho!

Now I know these are off topic but, if we can have Darth Vader and Stormtroopers riding in a lifeboat, I felt that I could let you know about these:
