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
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
Lagunitas Brown Shugga’ (2013)
How come you taste so good? Just in time for Thanksgiving, the wonderful concoction known as Brown Shugga’ has returned to ensure you are well-lubricated for all the family gatherings. Because let’s be honest, when you’re fielding tons of questions about everything and anything and listening to the chatter around the table, a 9.9% ABV… → 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
