Wolaver’s Alta Gracia Coffee Porter
Unfortunately Wolaver’s website is under construction but I did a little digging to get you guys some back story about this brew…. The selling point of Wolaver’s Alta Garcia Coffee Porter is that they use organic coffee from the Costa Rican farming village of Alta Gracia. The organic coffee is grown by the farmers, and… → Read More
Hoegaarden
A witbier found at the Belgium booth during the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, Hoegaarden Original Belgian Wheat Beer gets its name from the village of Hoegaarden in Belgium.

Southampton Double White Ale
Stopped by one of my favorite BBQ places in NYC and wanted something light and refreshing to wash down the grub. Had heard of Southampton Publick House since they’re out of Long Island so I decided to give it a try.

The Lack of Beer Seminars at the 2011 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival
Alright, I get it. It’s the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, not the Food and Beer Festival. However, there are over 100 of what Disney refers to as “Wine/Beverage” Seminars at the 2011 festival.

Anyone care to guess what Germany’s number one draught beer is? Let’s see, I heard Beck’s…wrong. No, Lowenbrau’s not it either. Heineken is Dutch, so that’s wrong. Okay, okay stop yelling at the computer, I’ll tell you…it’s Bitburger! So you probably guessed that by the title of this post, but have you ever had one? … → Read More
Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema
I discovered this beer with my fellow co-host and brother of The Lost Boy’s List Podcast, Craig, at the Great American Beer festival in Boston this past June. After sampling 50-100 beers we kept going back to this terrific brew. In an intoxicated state post festival, we both agreed this was the clear winner taking… → Read More
