Thanking you all in advance

"Here's a complete list of the beers available onboard:

On tap
* Budweiser
* Miller Lite USD 3.25

22-ounce glass mug can be purchased for USD 9.95.
* Heineken USD 4.00
In cans
* Budweiser
* Bud Lite
* Coors Light
* Ice House
* Miller Genuine Draft
* Miller Lite USD 3.25
* Beck's
* Guinness
* Heineken USD 3.75
In bottles
* Amstell Light
* Bass
* Corona USD 3.75

These are the beers available at most full-service bars. They also serve the draft selections at various stands set up on Decks 9 and 10 during the day.

There is a refillable mug deal where you can get your 22-ounce mug refilled with one of the draft selections for the price of 16-ounces. This a heavy glass mug... I personally wouldn't want to carry it around."

I got the above info from Dave's DCL tribute site. I would also like to know if this is still accurate or if there are other varieties now offered. If one gets the big mug deal, is it only a deal if one drinks Bud or Miller Lite? YUCK!
NO microbrews at all? Not even something on par with Sam Adams?

I read something somewhere about there being a Beer Tasting on the Magic. Is this where they serve microbrews. This was the one thing that disappointed my husband on our last cruise. He wanted the microbrews. He was not up for the Heineken.

For one of the beer tastings, they had some beers of the world---Pilsner for the Czech Republic is the one that stands out in my mind. The other day they had beers and ales of Great Britain and explained the differences in them. I don't think there were any microbrews, though.

Thank You for the information.

My husband will be very impressed that I received a response (and so thorough) so quickly!

Have a wonderful day

Definately want to consider doing the beer tastings. They have some small prizes for trivia answers, and several "free beer" perks for answers/input.

Like knowing beer was first made about 5,000 years BC.

I have a couple pictures from the 2nd beer tasting in my Disney 2005 album on imagestation:

Picture 206 gives you a good idea of the size of the "tastes".

Also, you get to choose the 4 beers you want to taste from a list of several beers.
