Lagunitas Brown Shugga’
Can you feel it in the air? It’s almost my favorite time of year. Christmas. Chilly nights, hustle and bustle, twinkling lights, egg nog, and shit show family gatherings filled with alcohol. Oh, just my family? In the spirit of the season all your favorite breweries will soon be releasing their holiday ales. It’s as… → Read More
Deschutes Brewery Black Butte XXIV
Since Black Butte‘s 20th birthday, Deschutes has taken to creating special versions of the porter. For 2012, the result is Black Butte XXIV; it debuted in June and I got my hands on a bottle. XXIV. 24 years after Black Butte Porter’s debut, our potent, layered, imperial tribute returns. As usual, it’s a jazz riff,… → Read More
Abita Fall Fest
Fall is here, and Lewis Black has some choice words for the coming of the season. ‘Oh, the leaves change color!’ – they change color for two days, then a big wind comes, you got nothing but sticks for the rest of the year. And then the weather is completely nonsense. You don’t even have… → Read More
Stone 16th Anniversary IPA
Every year Stone Brewing makes a special limited release beer for their anniversary. Some years it has been an IPA, other years it has been a different type of ale, but each year they try to do something special. This year for their 16th anniversary Stone decided to brew an IPA that featured lemon flavors…. → Read More
Updated Standard Beer Menu at Walt Disney World
Every once in a while Walt Disney World will update the standard bar menu for most of the Disney-owned restaurants and lounges on property. Whenever this bar menu changes, the beers in the menu tend to change a bit. The pale lager standbys are usually still there; it’s the more interesting beers that tend to… → Read More

A Lil’ Sumpin Most Random Blog Post Ever
Hello. It’s been awhile since we last talked. But I’m having a rather feisty afternoon, so I thought, “Hey, why not put up a half ass beer review?” Let’s talk about the one time I went to Lagunitas. Yeah. Here. And they didn’t have Sumpin’ Wild. STOCK PHOTO. This is my favorite Lag beer! Have… → Read More

Beer in the Magic Kingdom?!
UPDATE: Naturally A.J. at Disney Food Blog has the menu. My fears of the AB-InBev beers taking over were unfounded. Here’s the list! Kronenbourg 1664 Hoegaarden Saison Dupont Chimay Blue Original Article: The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World has had a long-standing policy of no alcohol, but it seems that is about to change. An… → Read More
Food and Wine’s Belgium Booth Misses the Target
Leffe Blonde, Leffe Brune, Hoegaarden, and Stella Artois. Seemingly a varied selection of beers for the 2012 Epcot Food and Wine Festival’s Belgium booth. While they all are Belgian beers, they are also all owned by AB-InBev. While I have nothing against these particular beers, I also feel like Disney didn’t really try; they just… → 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
