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
New Beers and Ears Beer List Web Apps!
Over the past several months we have been looking for a solution to bringing our beer lists to mobile devices other than iOS. Today, we’re proud to release that solution; we’ve taken the iOS apps and recreated them as web apps.

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
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

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
