Big River Beer Tasting
I’m pretty positive before this blog you didn’t really think of Walt Disney World as a place for the beer lover. Alas, now that I pay more attention, try new options and keep up with all these posts, I’m kind of thinking maybe it is! On the Boardwalk.. There is an actual running brewery called… → Read More
Asahi Super Dry
Hailing from Japan, Asahi can be found throughout the Japanese pavilion at Epcot. It’s brewed by the Asahi Breweries; Asahi is the number one brewery and soft drink company in Japan. The flagship brew has changed over the years; first it was Asahi Draft, then Asahi Gold, and now it is Asahi Super Dry; 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
Rogue Voodoo Doughnut
Rogue hit another home run with this quirky combination of doughnut, maple syrup and BACON? I don’t know about you but I can’t pass up any beer in a pink bottle. Speaking of the bottle, I would highly recommend only opening this bottle if you either have plenty of time to drink or reinforcements to… → Read More
Koko Brown
I’m a big fan of coconut flavored food, candy and drinks. I’m also a big fan of Kona Brewing Company. So when I saw this beer which has toasted coconut flavoring at my grocery store, I was intrigued. I wasn’t sure if coconut flavor in a beer would work. I was pleasantly surprised when I… → Read More
Meta Beer
My second beer attempt at Dawa Bar was another Ethiopian brew, Meta. Meta Abo Brewery is located in the town of Sebata, 27 km from Addis Ababa. The brewery was established in 1963 by the Ethiopian Government and Ethiopian private nationals as a share company with a starting capital base of 2 million Birr. It… → Read More
Hakim Stout
It’s official, I have found a new awesome place to drink at Disney. Why has no one let me know about Dawa Bar before???? I mean, I knew it was there, I saw it whenever I walked by at Animal Kingdom. But, after having a beer or two, I can see myself drinking there on… → Read More
“33” Export
I was recently out to dinner at a local Vietnamese restaurant and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a decent selection of beers on the menu. “33” Export immediately caught my eye. It’s a Vietnamese lager that has a nice bright gold color. I enjoyed the beer with a nice bowl of Pho,… → Read More
Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale
As I was composing a few other beer reviews (yay for multi-tasking!), I realized that I had never finished my review from awhile back of Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale! So let’s get this out of the way, shall we? After looking at the huge beer menu at the restaurant we were at in NYC,… → Read More
Saint Arnold Homefront IPA
It’s that time of year in America where we honor those who gave their lives serving this country in the Armed Forces. On this Memorial Day let’s take a look at the latest release from Saint Arnold, Homefront IPA. This beer’s story starts with Chris Ray; you might know him as a pitcher for the… → Read More
What's Hot
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
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.
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

Great news beer lovers! Bob Basl has reported to us that three Unibroue beers are now available outside of Le Cellier at the Canada Beer Cart. The three beers available are Éphémère, Trois Pistoles, and Blanche de Chambly. As with all the Unibroue beers, each one has a story. Traditionally, white ales are supposed be named… → Read More
Unibroue La Fin du Monde
Before heading to a Sox game at Fenway, I had a chance to stop by a new bar in Cambridge, The Tap Room. Lots of beers available, over 30 on tap! The first beer I tried was La Fin du Monde brewed by Unibroue of Canada. Scott reviewed this beer previously, check out his review… → Read More
Mythos Hellenic Lager
I’ve never reviewed any of the Greek beers at Disney?? How is that possible? Such a disgrace to my heritage. While at Kouzzina on my last trip, I had the option of Mythos or Alpha and this time around I chose the Mythos. Now I will preface this by saying that my Greek people are… → Read More
Corona
Here I go again, taking one for the team. Corona is actually an interesting beer when you consider the history and even look at the beer style this fits into. Before I bore you all to sleep, that is if you are still reading this. Corona as we all know is made in Mexico, but… → 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
