Thomas Hooker Chocolate Truffle Stout
Went to one of our favorite restaurants for their week long closing party. So so sad. They were trying to get rid of everything in sight and this was one of the only bottles left in their inventory. And at half price? Sign me up! The description from their site sounds pretty fab… “Our sweet… → Read More
Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager
Thank you Whole Foods for allowing the ‘Create Your Own’ 6-pack. There’s always a bunch of beers I want to try but don’t want a full 6-pack, ya know? During the peak of summer, I’m always looking for something refreshing. Enter the Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager. Scott had reviewed this back in 2011 and was… → Read More
The Five Hoppy Beers That Will Make You Like Hoppy Beers
I’m starting a new series on Beers and Ears… I kid. But here is a list. A wonderful list. A top five list for your Friday. Because I’m sick and tired of hearing you all say “I don’t like hoppy beers”. Fools. I kid. 5. Founder’s All Day IPA 4. Coronado Islander IPA… → Read More
A Downtown Disney Evening
After the trip to Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge, all of us took the bus over to Downtown Disney where we took the Sassagoula River boat back to Port Orleans Riverside. The boat ride is rather nice and it passes Saratoga Springs, the Treehouse Villas, and Port Orleans French Quarter on its way to Riverside…. → Read More
Ommegang Three Philosophers
Someone recently asked us whether Ommegang Three Philosophers is available at Walt Disney World, so when I saw it at the store recently I decided to pick a bottle up! Three Philosophers is available at WDW, but only at Il Mulino in the Swan. Ommegang Brewery is based in Cooperstown, NY, better known for the… → Read More
Boma – Flavors of Africa
Can you believe it’s already been two months since I was in Disney World? I still haven’t gone through all my photos and it still seems like we just went. After a hot morning and a rainy afternoon at Animal Kingdom, we hopped on a bus over to Animal Kingdom Lodge. This was my first… → Read More
Widmer Brothers Alchemy Ale
You didn’t think we were just going to give you the 2013 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival beer list and leave you hanging did you? Over the next several weeks we’ll try to track down some of the new beers and give them a try. First up is Alchemy Ale by Widmer Brothers. It’s… → Read More

Let’s start from the north (World Showcase Plaza) and go clockwise, as far as we know based on last year’s map. Terra… → Read More
Southern Tier Creme Brûlée Imperial Milk Stout
At The Avenue the same night I had Barrel Aged Biere Joi, there was another beer that I really wanted to try and a keg had just been tapped. Lucky me, right? I was actually checking The Avenue’s Facebook account to see what their Friday night cask beer would be. Instead of the usual cask,… → Read More
Beer Fest B!tches!
’tis the season. No, not Christmas. ’tis the season of wine and beer fests. So true, right? I attended probably my favorite beer fest to date a couple of weekends ago and I wanted to do a quick review. The Summer Time Brews Fest is a yearly event in Greensboro, NC and it is a… → Read More
What's Hot
Delirium Noël
The tree is finished; next on the list of Christmas decorations is the lights. Hopefully it goes better than this: Anyway, that’s not really what you’re here for is it? On with the beer! Tonight I’m pouring myself another holiday beer. Pink elephants: they’re not just in Dumbo anymore. From Brouwerij Huyghe (Huyghe Brewery in Belgian) comes… → Read More
crawlDisney: Beers Around the World (Showcase)
Last updated April 27, 2015 Drinking around the world at Epcot. It’s become almost an attraction in itself over the years, but what if you’re interested in drinking beer around the world instead of all those frou-frou drinks? The good news is all of the World Showcase pavilions serve beer. However, not all of them… → Read More
Karbach Brewing Co. Cherries of Fire 2013
The song has a bit of an EPCOT Center vibe, doesn’t it? Chariots Cherries of Fire is Karbach Brewing Co.’s F.U.N. Series #006. We’re back on track with the numbering after the late release of Roll in the Hay. This one is Karbach’s Hellfighter put into bourbon barrels with cherries added. This release makes half… → Read More
Karbach Brewing Co. Bourbon Barrel Hellfighter 2012
Karbach has really been on a roll with its barrel aged beers. F.U.N. Series #003 is Hellfighter, an Imperial porter aged in bourbon barrels for at least five months. A 10.8% ABV limited edition brew, this bottle can cause a little bit of confusion because Hellfighter is also the name of Karbach’s regular Imperial porter…. → Read More
Uinta Baba Black Lager
Here’s the first pre-2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival beer review! Uinta Brewing’s Baba Black Lager is a beer Disney mentioned would be on the Food and Wine Festival menu early. It will be found at the Farm Fresh booth and is featured there because it’s certified organic by the USDA and the Utah Department… → Read More
Schöfferhofer Grapefruit is Back!
I was walking through World Showcase after dinner at Via Napoli Monday night (more on that later) and wandered into the Germany pavilion next door. Once inside the Germany pavilion I briefly looked over at the stand with the best name in all of Walt Disney World. Seriously, it’s called Bier. It’s so obvious that… → Read More

Shock Top Belgian White
“Live life unfiltered.” That’s the Shock Top slogan, and it’s easy to see why. This Belgian white ale is a cloudy yellow-orange because it’s not filtered before bottling. The brew is made by the Shock Top Brewing Company in Memphis, Tennessee, but further research shows that Shock Top is a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch. Let’s judge the beer… → Read More
