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
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
St. George Beer
Last drink at Dawa Bar (don’t worry, we spaced these over 2 days) was St. George Beer. The brewery is located in Ethiopia, NOT to be confused with the brewery of the same name in Virginia. There is no official website though so I couldn’t pull up any additional information to wow you guys with…. → Read More
Widmer Brothers Drifter Pale Ale
Earlier today I picked up a couple of new beers; the first one I’m trying is Widmer Brothers Drifter. Although it’s classified as a pale ale, it’s fairly dark but extremely clear. Drifter has a very strong grapefruit scent and the citrus theme continues once sipped. It’s not too sweet and has a nice bitter… → Read More
Firestone Walker Double Jack
Firestone Walker is another brewery whose beers are new to Texas this year; not long after their debut, I picked up a bottle of Double Jack, a double IPA. At this time, Walt Disney World doesn’t serve any Firestone Walker beers, but Disneyland serves Double Barrel Ale (DBA) at the Sonoma Terrace and Carthay Circle…. → Read More
Samuel Adams Brewmasters Collection: Blackberry Witbier
Tonight’s beer is part of Samuel Adams’ Brewmasters Collection. Blackberry Witbier is an underwhelming brew in my opinion. It reminds me of Abita’s Purple Haze but with less flavor. Yes, Purple Haze is made with raspberries and this is made with blackberries, but the beers are very similar. Still, I’d grab a Purple Haze long… → Read More
Samuel Adams Coastal Wheat
Tonight’s beer is a Samuel Adams Coastal Wheat. I picked up a six pack of these a while back on Ed’s recommendation but it’s been a while since I cracked one. It fills up my pilsner glass rather well with a nice tall head. Coastal Wheat is a decent wheat ale with lemon, but its… → Read More
Abita 25th Anniversary Vanilla Doubledog
It’s no secret I’m a big fan of Abita. One reason is that like Abita, I was born and raised in Louisiana. I didn’t like beer before I started drinking Abita Amber, and over the years since the Abita brewery has given me plenty of different beers to try, including Purple Haze, Jockamo IPA, and… → Read More
Lagunitas Brown Shugga’ (2013)
How come you taste so good? Just in time for Thanksgiving, the wonderful concoction known as Brown Shugga’ has returned to ensure you are well-lubricated for all the family gatherings. Because let’s be honest, when you’re fielding tons of questions about everything and anything and listening to the chatter around the table, a 9.9% ABV… → Read More

The Beers and Ears Walt Disney World Beer List iPhone App!
In a secret lab at an undisclosed location (not really, but it sounds cool), we’ve been hard at work. Now we’re ready to reveal a secret that’s been kept better than the iPhone 4 (despite our love for beer, this secret wasn’t left in a bar) . We’ve created an iPhone app that puts our… → Read More
