2018 Alaska Airlines Beverage Offerings
Proposal:
We create a complete on board menu with quantities available of catering for Fall of 2018.
Both regular drinks and the "special ones".
There seems to be 3 categories of flights on AS metal:
Shorthaul. These tend to share carts and include multiple segments.
Mid-con. Mostly these tend to be Round Trip Catered.
Long Haul/Hawaii. Tend to be catered at outstation, and have more room on carts for beverages.
There is also the QX and OO flights...
Thoughts?
Can post in the thread or wiki.

As far as beverages go, all flights are round trip catered unless they touch SEA (LAX, PDX, or ANC can be hit or miss on whether everything gets catered or not, whereas SEA is a sure bet to be catered). And when they are RT catered, both flights share the same beverage cart in FC, and there's a second cart catered in MC. If you see catering at an outstation, they're just doing fresh food/ice/trash. All flights offer the same beverage menu:
This is in the FC cart. For MC just double everything but spirits as those are the same regardless, and replace the sparkling wine bottle with 4 mini Prosecco bottles on each side of the cart
Non-alcoholic: Coca-Cola (5), Diet Coke (3), Coke Zero (2) Tonic water (2), Seltzer Water (6), Sprite (4), Sprite Zero (2 currently, changing to 1), Ginger Ale (6), Apple Juice (3), Mr/Mrs T's Bloody Mary Mix (3, and will be going back to Wicked soon), Tomato Juice (2), Cranberry (3, currently cran-apple, will be returning to standard cranberry soon)
Wines: Red (2 bottles on mid-con and shorter, 3 bottles on long haul, currently Red Blend from Pendulum, will be Cabernet Sauvignon from Broken Earth Winery starting 9/16), white (same as red, currently Chardonnay from Canon 13, will be Chardonnay from Broken Earth Winery starting 9/16), sparkling wine (1 bottle)
Beers: Alaskan Kolsch (3), Firestone Walker 805 (2), Lagunitas 12th of Never Ale (2), Ballast Point Sculpin IPA (3)
Spirits: Woodford Reserve Bourbon (6), Tanqueray Gin (6), Bailey's Irish Coffee (4), Sauza Tequila (2), Cruzan Rum (4), Tito's Vodka (A LOT), Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso Vodka (2), Jack Daniel's Whiskey (I think 6), Crown Royal Whiskey (I think 8), Dewar's Scotch (6)
I'm working to OGG on Tuesday, so I'll be able to update the beers section with the number of Kona Longboards then

Does Coffee with Bailey's Irish Cream get requested so often that you just call it Bailey's Irish Coffee? lol. I do enjoye coffee and Bailey's, the Hazelnut Espresso Vodka is really nice too. My first request is always Tequila on the rocks with a wedge of lime. It amazes me how difficult/impossible it is to get on other airlines and in their lounges. Flew QF F DFW-SYD last week, no fresh lime, never mind the tequila. Same on CX & AA in premium Cabins. Of course EK is a flying liquor store! lol

Dont laugh. Here in Australia and also in the UK we have Baileys Iced Coffee (comes in 500ml bottle). Unfortunately the Australian version is non alcoholic, but the UK version is alcoholic (both are branded with Baileys Irish Cream brand). I’ve tried booth - don’t really like either, they are both sickly sweet.
