Who wants a Guinness?
Sadly it wasn’t I who drank this beauty, I had to save my liver for the last country of the Drinking Around the World. But I had to take a picture of the lovely executed clover that our fabulous bartender drew. Uhh… even though that’s not the part that’s in focus…. And hopefully next time… → Read More
One of My New Favorites – Éphémére by Unibroue
I was at a restaurant in Cleveland last week and decided to get a little wild in my beer choice. I landed on an ale with apple juice flavor added. The flavor was really different, but I was pleasantly surprised! This beer is very, very sweet and I doubt I could drink more than two… → Read More
Redhook – Winter Hook
The winter ale offering from Redhook is known as Winter Hook. A great seasonal microbrew!
Redhook ESB Original Ale
A reminder of home (I’m from the great state of Washington). Redhook has a brewery in Woodinville, WA (not far from Seattle) as well as Portsmouth, NH (a fact I just learned tonight). A great Northwest microbrew!
Clown Shoes – Clementine
Clown Shoes is a new to the market brand of microbrew out of Ipswich, MA. Tonight I’m sampling their white ale named Clementine. “Clementine is a beer conceived in a dream in the middle of a blistering beatdown of a day. We used clementine essence, sweet orange peel, coriander, and summit hops to smack that… → Read More
Black Velvet at Rose & Crown
The winner of the night, and my all time favorite drink when both beers are available… the Black Velvet! Didn’t think we’d make it this far in our adventure but we did! Half Guinness…half cider….in this case it was Strongbow (my favorite). Some people think Guiness is too heavy, others think cider is too sweet…. → Read More
Kronenbourg 1664
Almost done with our adventure… in France? Had to grab a Kronenbourg 1664. Enjoyed this one. Not sure if it was just from our blah experience in Morocco but this was light and slightly sweet. Would get it again…Nice appetizer for the Guinness at our next stop…
Casa at Tangerine Cafe
By far our least favorite of the whole adventure… Out of the three of us, none of us really enjoyed it. To me it tasted way too bitter. Would I drink it again? Only if I had to…I hear there’s some yummy fruity drinks in Morocco that I’ve yet to try!
Sapporo at the Yakitori House
Not gonna lie…things started getting slightly fuzzy around here. We pushed on through though and grabbed a Sapporo at the Yakitori House, along with a Shogun sampler to fill our stomachs with yummy greasy Japanese food. We liked this one as well… light and refreshing. A nice change from the heavy Sam’s Winter we just… → Read More
What's Hot
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
Unibroue Blanche de Chambly
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
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
Napa Smith Organic IPA
I’m back! Fresh off a 7 night stay at Port Orleans Riverside, in the upcoming weeks I’ll be writing about dining, attractions, whatever else might come to mind at the moment, and of course beer. Let’s start with the beer I had with my meal at Chef Mickey’s. I’ll save Chef Mickey’s itself for another… → Read More
