On The Horizon: Craft Beer Brewery & BBQ Smokehouse
New Carnival Horizon is set to debut in Europe in April. On board, travelers will find everything they love about sister-ship Carnival Vista plus some bonus features including four new craft beers.
Developed by Carnival’s expert brewmaster Colin Presby, the new brews will be offered at Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse. It’s a new dining concept that combines an onboard brewery and a full-service restaurant. Featured are barbecue favorites and sides developed by Food Network star Guy Fieri, a member of the American Royal National Barbecue Hall of Fame. Those beers are:
ParchedPig Farmhouse Ale
– this lightly hopped beer is distinguished by its blond color, fruity and complex character with mild spice notes that balance the brew’s dry finish
ParchedPig Smoked Porter
– brewed with in-house smoked malt, this robust, full-bodied beer offers big and bold flavors and notes of molasses and hickory smoke, providing the perfect complement to Smokehouse|Brewhouse’s BBQ favorites
ParchedPig Toasted Amber Ale
– highlighted by its rich amber color and notes of toasted caramel and biscuit, this beer is well balanced, smooth and highly drinkable
ParchedPig West Coast IPA
– the embodiment of a traditional West Coast India Pale Ale, this hoppy, intense beer is loaded with bitterness with a bright flavor profile and distinctive aroma of citrus and pine
The names of the beers are inspired by the varied barbecue offerings at Smokehouse|Brewhouse.
Smokehouse|Brewhouse is a unique culinary concept and we’ve created four fantastic brewed-on-board craft beers that not only showcase different tastes and brewing styles but also serve as the ideal accompaniment to the venue’s delicious array of barbecue offerings – Carnival Brewmaster Colin Presby
The brewery takes center stage at Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse which also features custom cocktails and a variety of Fieri-designed favorites. All are smoked “low and slow” using the chef’s signature rubs and spices. On the menu:
- Smoked-on-board brisket,
- Memphis-style back ribs,
- Dry-rubbed chicken,
- Pulled pork,
- Cedar-smoked salmon,
- Fieri’s own traditional sides and signature sauces.
Dinner menu items are offered on an a la carte basis with a free-of-charge self-service BBQ lunch buffet available on embarkation day and sea days.
