Beers and Ears Version 3.0!
If you visited the site yesterday, you may have seen the “soft opening” of Beers and Ears version 3.0. Over the past couple of months the site has been rebuilt from scratch to take advantage of advances in web technology and to provide a more consistent appearance. The general structure of the site is very… → Read More
Walt Disney World Beer List iPhone App Updated to Version 1.1
Just a short note to let everyone know that our Walt Disney World Beer List iPhone app has been updated to version 1.1! It’s a small but useful update; location notations on the Beer List and Map tabs now show more location information. The images above show the changes. No more guessing where a location… → Read More
Carlsberg: It’s Danish!
Don’t call it a comeback; I’ve been here for years. Still rockin’ my beer; puttin’ suckers in fear. You’re right, that’s enough of that. What I’m trying to say through the poetry that is LL Cool J’s introspective “Mama Said Knock You Out” is that I haven’t been writing here too much lately. I would like… → Read More
Smithwick’s and Some App Thoughts
Smithwick’s is an Irish Red ale produced by Diageo, the same company that owns Guinness. If you were to visit Ireland and ask for a Smithwick’s, you would be drinking a similar ale, but the Smithwick’s served in Ireland is 3.8% alcohol by volume. In the United States, Smithwick’s is 4.5% ABV. Although this is… → 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
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
Unibroue Don-de-Dieu
Happy New Year! Longtime readers (can we say that after only a year?) of Beers and Ears know we have an affinity for Unibroue and have reviewed many of their beers. Le Cellier in the Canada pavilion is the unofficial home of Unibroue at Walt Disney World and we continue to lament its lack of availability in… → Read More
Pearl Jam Twenty Faithfull Ale
Let me tell you a story. And no, not about Mr. Faded Glory. (If you got that, you are a damn worthy of drinking the beer I’m about to review.) No really, let me tell you a story. I’ve got a brother. He’s a tad older than me and thus he taught me everything I know… → Read More
The First Annual Brewsies!
Today we’re celebrating something special. No, we’re not celebrating Dame Judi Dench’s birthday! However, without her we wouldn’t be thanking the Phonecians, so happy birthday! The real cause for celebration today is that it’s our 1 year anniversary! To celebrate, we’re having a sort of awards show. Unfortunately, we have no budget for such an… → Read More
Lagunitas Sucks Holiday Ale (Part Deux)
Lagunitas Sucks again? Didn’t Katie already review this beer? Yes, yes she did. Maybe I suck for reviewing it again. You decide. Lagunitas says they suck for not being able to make BrownShugga’ this year. In my opinion it’s for a good reason though. They didn’t have the capacity to make BrownShugga’, which takes a… → 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
