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
Chef Mickey’s
Chef Mickey’s, how can I best describe it? Loud (very loud) Full of children (including my own on this particular Saturday evening) Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto coming to each table Random “celebration time” every so often with children spinning napkins in the air (yes, back to the children) Sounds like the perfect place… → Read More
North Coast Brewing PranQster
I know in a previous post I mentioned that Uva Bar is one of my favorite places to grab a quick drink and bite at Disneyland. My other favorite? Hands down is Carthay Circle. I’d consider it a place to go to relax for a little bit longer, grab a nice drink, unwind, etc. We… → Read More
Napa Smith Organic IPA
I’m back! Fresh off a 7 night stay at Port Orleans Riverside, in the upcoming weeks I’ll be writing about dining, attractions, whatever else might come to mind at the moment, and of course beer. Let’s start with the beer I had with my meal at Chef Mickey’s. I’ll save Chef Mickey’s itself for another… → Read More
Terrapin Rye Pale Ale
On my never ending quest to find out what beers tickle my fancy, I realized I’ve never had a Rye Pale Ale. So of course, when Disney World updated their drink menu awhile back and added Terrapin Rye to their offerings, I quickly ordered one. Plus, I love turtles..or terrapins…so I had to. From Terrapin’s… → Read More
Uva Bar Beers and Bites
Better late than never, right? While Scott is enjoying his adventures in Walt Disney World this week, I figured it was time to finally write up a beer review. Patrick and I headed out to Disneyland for the Half Marathon last September and continued our annual tradition (all two years so far) to stop for… → Read More
Sagres Pale Lager
Since I’ve moved to Boston, I’ve been enjoying trying out all the great restaurants in the area. One of my favorite places to visit has been a local Brazilian BBQ place. For those that have never been to one before, it’s quite the experience. Be prepared to eat lots of great food and to remember… → Read More
Southern Star Black Crack
Just under an hour north of downtown Houston is a town called Conroe, TX. It’s still considered part of the Houston metro area, but it’s a bit far out there. Anyway, Conroe is the home of Southern Star Brewing Company, who has been in operation since 2007. Similar to Karbach, Southern Star packages its year-round… → Read More
Scott’s June Walt Disney World Trip: The Extras
With under two weeks to go, the Magical Express tags are here and it’s only a matter of packing and time before we head to Disney World! I’m starting to get in that stage of checking and rechecking to make sure we have everything (even though in some cases I know I already have it)…. → Read More
Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown
First and foremost. How many spelling errors do you think will be in this post? Second. I got a puppy. Third. (Thirdly?) Stock photo. Have I found my favorite beer? No. Because that’s like picking a favorite kid, you can’t, you love them equally. However, you do go through times/seasons, if you will, where you… → Read More

Saint Arnold Brewery Tour
You may have been expecting the next installment of my visit to The Avenue in New Orleans, but I’ll get back to that soon. On Saturday I visited Saint Arnold Brewing Company for my birthday; it’s just north of downtown Houston and is located at 2000 Lyons Ave. Saint Arnold hosts tours every day except… → Read More
Pilsner Urquell – Bohemian Pilsener classic example
The Bohemian Pilsener style was first brewed in 1842 and can be considered the original clear, light-colored beer. When looking for an example to taste from this style Pilsner Urquell should be your first stop. When looking at the characteristics of this style you can taste the details in Pilsner Urquell. Some key notes to… → Read More
Samuel Adams Summer Ale
The summer seasonal from the Boston Beer Company is Samuel Adams Summer Ale. Referred to as an American wheat ale, its inspiration comes from Belgian witbiers (think Hoegaarden). Samuel Adams’ twist on the style includes lemon peel and Grains of Paradise. Summer Ale has a hazy golden color with a nose full of grain. Malty… → Read More
Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen
Saw this in the refrigerator at Total Wine and was really hoping it would taste similar to Sam Adams Oktoberfest. I was let down. This isn’t one of my favorites.
Shiner Bock
I purchased a six pack called the Shiner Family Reunion; it contains six different beers from the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX; I also had one of these at the House of Blues the other night when I saw Richard Cheese. Since this is the most common Shiner beer you’ll come across, I decided to… → Read More
Harviestoun Brewery Ola Dubh 16
Gaelic for “Black Oil”, Ola Dubh 16 is from the Harviestoun Brewery in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. A small town called Alva in Clackmannanshire is home to Harvieston (about 40 miles northwest of Edinburgh); its founder, Ken Brooker, has been brewing since 1983. Ken sold the brewery in 2006 to Caledonian Breweries. Two short… → Read More
Muddy Rivers Pool Bar at Port Orleans Riverside
Something we never seem to do when we’re at Walt Disney World is spend much time at the pool. We spend most of our time in the parks instead. I did, however, stop by the Muddy Rivers Pool Bar one afternoon to check it out. See that guy in the white behind the tree on… → 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
