Craft beer on Delta (International)
I know they made a big deal of having craft beer on domestic flights recently. But in a recent twitter chat with them they mentioned that craft beer is not available on international flights.
Does anyone happen to remember what beers were on board their transatlantic flight recently? (route will be SEA-LHR, but I imagine it's mostly the same from all stations)
Cheers,
S.

Aviatorzz, it doesn't say anything. There's a lovely section of what wines are onboard, but nothing about spirits or beer on international legs.

I keep seeing small cans of Heineken offered as PDBs on TATL BE flights.

I think the craft beer was only on selected routes, LAX-SFO, LAX/SFO-JFK and some of the eastern shuttles.
I had a Ballast Point Sculpin IPA on my JFK-LAX flight in Jan. By far the best beer I've had on an airplane (unless you count stuff I brought on pre 9/11
)

Page 140 of Sky Magazine has the current beer offerings for most routes. International, however, doesn't list anything different so they don't seem to advertise local market beers.
