It’s National Beer Day, the day to celebrate the hoppy beverage that quenches the thirst of millions every day, and during a cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Quantum-class cruise ship, Quantum of the Seas, there’s no better place to celebrate than at Michael’s Genuine Pub.

The brainchild of James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Schwartz, Michael’s is the first gastropub at sea, serving 4,000+ guests everyday on board Quantum.

Michael’s Genuine Pub features a small plates menu perfect for a daytime snack, wine, speciality cocktails and craft beers including the signature beverage, Michael’s Genuine Home Brew, a 5% ABV beer that’s a perfect refresher.

The gastropub concept was such a hit with guests onboard Quantum of the Seas, that the second Michael’s Genuine Pub will hit the high seas with the launch of the second Quantum-class ship, Anthem of the Seas in just a few weeks.

Michael’s Genuine Pub - the first gastropub at sea – is the next evolution of Royal Caribbean’s relationship with James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Schwartz, offering simply-prepared food and drinks made with quality ingredients from the best artisanal producers.
