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
What's Hot
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
Delirium Tremens
Another House of Brews winner.. when the gang saw that they had Delirium Tremens we each quickly ordered a bottle. How can we say no to a beer that was rated the best beer multiple times?? Definitely didn’t disappoint. Could drink this every single day. Great combination of fruits and spices and was very smooth… → Read More
Blanche de Bruxelles
One of my new favorite beers. You surprised that it’s another wheat beer? Yea, such a surprise right there! Plus the cute tap doesn’t hurt. Makes us laugh each time. The bartenders at this particular bar made the little statue a diaper b/c they were tired or staring at his nakedness. … → 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.
Samuel Adams Griffin’s Bow
Samuel Adams Griffin’s Bow is part of a series of limited release beers from the Boston Beer Company. The local grocery store had a bunch of the limited release beers in stock so I picked a couple up. Griffin’s Bow is an oaked blonde barleywine. Toasted oak was put into the beer when it aged… → Read More
Presenting the 2015 Disney Beer Tournament Champion!
It’s been two weeks since we started the 2015 Disney Beer Tournament and we have a champion! A few comments from Twitter: .@beersandears as much as I enjoy Chimay Blue, I'm pulling for DFH90. They're my kind of people. http://t.co/UuSg7I72HM #DisneyBeer2015 — Jason Heger (@Nissan_Rogue_sq) April 2, 2015 Me: I wish there was a beer… → Read More
Three Floyds – Pride & Joy Mild Ale
Usually I don’t go for a hoppy beer….but this is a decent ale from Indiana brewer Three Floyds.
crawlDisney: The Friendship Pub Crawl
Previously on crawlDisney we looked at Drinking Around the World at Epcot, where in just a short walk it’s possible to try beers from thirteen different countries. Today’s edition of Beer Tours is just a short walk away from World Showcase. Just outside Epcot’s International Gateway are five resorts lining the shores of Crescent Lake. Inside… → Read More
Dos Equis Ambar
“…a rich, robust flavored beer with the smooth drinkability of a classic dark-style lager.” Um, no. Okay, fine, I’ll give the marketing person who wrote that line on Dos Equis Ambar’s back label credit for the smooth drinkability. It’s smooth alright (is it possible to be too smooth?), because it’s very easy to drink. On… → Read More
