Lakeland’s own Brew Hub has partnered with Carnival Cruise Lines to launch the very first program of canning and kegging its own private label beers on a ship.

This is a pretty big deal.

The in-house brewery team will be aboard Carnival Horizon and Carnival Vista, hard at work making sure the suds are in high supply.

The three brews, including the ThirstyFrog Caribbean Wheat, the ParchedPig West Coast IPA and the ParchedPig Toasted Amber Ale, are available on tap and by the can aboard all 26 ships.

Carnival hopes that guests will utilize this service by taking a 4-pack home as souvenirs — that means a taste of Lakeland will be experienced by cruise-goers and their loved ones around the world.
