After a fun filled trip during opening weekend of the Food & Wine Festival, as well as both successfully completing the Wine & Dine Half Marathon, Patrick and I decided to thoroughly reward ourselves with a complete beer tasting at both the Brewer’s Collection Booth and the Craft Beers Booth. With the Brewer’s Booth complete… → Read More
Lagunitas New Dogtown Pale Ale
Hello there pumpkins. As much as you would have thought that I had totally disappeared from this blog, I haven’t. I just suck at blogging. But last night at around 3am when I couldn’t sleep I was chatting with Siri on my new iPhone 4S and I told her to “remind me to write a… → Read More

Kingfisher Blue
After having our fair share of Kingfisher Premium’s in India, we FINALLY found a place that served my friend’s favorite…Kingfisher Blue. Where did we find it? In the airport in Mumbai waiting for our flight home! So, I’m not sure if something was lost in translation here but this is from their site: It’s… → Read More
Pilsner Urquell – Bohemian Pilsener classic example
The Bohemian Pilsener style was first brewed in 1842 and can be considered the original clear, light-colored beer. When looking for an example to taste from this style Pilsner Urquell should be your first stop. When looking at the characteristics of this style you can taste the details in Pilsner Urquell. Some key notes to… → Read More
Orlando Brewing Certified Organic Beer Sampler at the Wave
Grabbed a quick lunch at the Wave in May and noticed that they had a beer sampler of 3 different 5oz samples of Orlando Brewing Organic Beer. Who am I to argue with trying 3 beers instead of 1? The presentation was definitely nice, as seen in the photo. Underneath each glass was a brief… → Read More
Kingfisher Premier Lager
THE beer to drink while in India, so who are we to argue? Plus the imports were obscenely expensive (relative to Kingfisher) so we stuck to the local stuff. The Kingfisher brand is ALL over India. Someone related it to how Virgin is everywhere by us. There’s Kingfisher Beer, Kingfisher Airline, etc. And yes, you… → Read More
Bedele Beer
We went to dinner at Boma for the first time during our D23 Destination D weekend and I wanted to try something out of the ordinary. The server suggested this beer and I’m happy he did! From Bedele’s site: Bedele Brewery is located in Bedele town 500 kilometers west of Addis Ababa. The brewery was… → Read More
What's Hot
‘Ohana
My original plan for June was to only dine at one table service restaurant we ate at previously. Chef Mickey’s was definitely for the kids and it made it easy to meet the characters. The original plan for Friday, our last night at WDW, was a free evening, and that’s how I made our dining… → Read More
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Sierra Nevada Brewing Company is named after the Sierra Nevada mountain range. But don’t worry, it doesn’t taste like mountains. Mountains taste like dirt, water and trees. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale still tastes like beer. According to the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company website, “critics proclaim [the brewery’s beers as a whole, I guess] ‘Among the… → 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
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
Goose Island India Pale Ale
In 2011, the Goose Island brewery was sold by its owner to AB-InBev for $38.8 million because they couldn’t meet demand for their products. Until recently, Goose Island wasn’t available in Texas at all. However, three of their beers have now been introduced in stores. The three I saw in the store the other day were… → Read More

Up and Coming Italy Pavilion Beer Program
If you haven’t checked out the craft beer selection in the Italy pavilion lately, you are really missing out on some great new offerings. Wait…craft beer? In the Italy Pavilion? Yes, you heard us right! While down in Disney World for the Food & Wine festival, we were able to get an overview of the… → 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
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
