What's New
312 Urban Wheat Ale
Another fine beer from the Goose Island Beer Co. (Chicago, IL). It’s described as “Citrus hop aromas, a fruity ale flavor, and a creamy body make 312 as satisfying as it is refreshing.” This is a smooth beer that I find very enjoyable. And for those who don’t know or didn’t guess… 312 is one… → Read More
Goose Island Honker’s Ale
Another sampling from the great city of Chicago. Previously posted by Ed, this is a Honker’s Ale, brewed by Goose Island Beer Co. (Chicago, IL). In their own words Honker’s Ale is “an English style bitter that strikes perfect balance between fruity hop notes and biscuity malt flavor, Honker’s Ale delivers a classic taste in… → Read More
Carlsberg in Norway
Our first official stop while Drinking Around the World was La Cava del Tequila where I started off with a tequila flight. I’ll skip that review and just move right along to Norway! Stopped off at the beer kiosk and we all grabbed a Carlsberg. Apparently Carlsberg is actually from Denmark, and NOT Norway. No… → Read More
Harp Lager
While I was at the store today, I picked up a six-pack of Harp. Knowing that it’s one of Ryan’s favorite beers, I was hoping for good things. It poured a nice golden color with a head that dissipated fairly quickly. However, on my first sip I could only think of one thing: Bud Light…. → Read More
Black and Tan
Enjoying a fabulous Black and Tan at a dive bar in NYC 🙂 Almost as good as a Black Velvet!
Warsteiner, Blue Moon, Strongbow and Longboard
Tonight’s selections from the Taco Mac? I began with a Warsteiner, a fine lager with a hint of bitter, while the wife stuck with Ol’ Reliable, her favorite Blue Moon. Second? She decided on a Strongbow Cider. Me? I went with a longtime fave from the Tambu Lounge at the Polynesian – Longboard! It’s a… → Read More
Taco Mac – Beer Lovers Heaven
Just down the street from my house, and in locations across the wide expanse of metro Atlanta lies Taco Mac. It is a beer lover’s paradise. Here’s a picture of only the draught beer menu. There’s nearly 100 beers on tap. Try double that available in bottles. And people wonder why we love coming here…. → Read More
Birra Moretti La Rossa
Before officially starting to Drink Around the World, lunch at Via Napoli was necessary… as was a little La Rossa! Had a stronger hoppy flavor than what I was expecting, but we liked it. It went really well with the pizza. Since I mainly had only light apps though, it was slightly too heavy with… → Read More
Abita Restoration Pale Ale
Abita Restoration Pale Ale holds a special place in my heart. It’s a good beer but the reason behind it is even better. In 2005 Hurricanes Katrina and Rita barreled into the southeast and southwest coasts of Louisiana respectively. With this beer, Abita raised over $500,000 for hurricane relief. Since then it’s become a regularly… → Read More
Abita Purple Haze and an Announcement
Tonight’s beer of choice is Abita Purple Haze. It’s a raspberry wheat beer; the scent and the front end of the taste definitely lets you know raspberries were added to the beer. The back end has a wheaty, grainy taste. Purple Haze is very cloudy with an almost grapefruit-like color. Honestly, this isn’t my favorite… → Read More

crawlDisney: Beers Around the World (Showcase)
Last updated April 27, 2015 Drinking around the world at Epcot. It’s become almost an attraction in itself over the years, but what if you’re interested in drinking beer around the world instead of all those frou-frou drinks? The good news is all of the World Showcase pavilions serve beer. However, not all of them… → Read More
Karbach Brewing Co. Cherries of Fire 2013
The song has a bit of an EPCOT Center vibe, doesn’t it? Chariots Cherries of Fire is Karbach Brewing Co.’s F.U.N. Series #006. We’re back on track with the numbering after the late release of Roll in the Hay. This one is Karbach’s Hellfighter put into bourbon barrels with cherries added. This release makes half… → Read More
Uinta Baba Black Lager
Here’s the first pre-2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival beer review! Uinta Brewing’s Baba Black Lager is a beer Disney mentioned would be on the Food and Wine Festival menu early. It will be found at the Farm Fresh booth and is featured there because it’s certified organic by the USDA and the Utah Department… → Read More
This Was Supposed to be About Big River
If you recall, I was a bit uneasy about heading over to Big River Grille and Brewing Works for dinner on Wednesday instead of dining in Hollywood Studios (ugh…) or somewhere that took reservations. Not all of it was Big River’s fault however. Right as we left Hollywood Studios, we heard thunder as we were… → Read More
Schöfferhofer Grapefruit is Back!
I was walking through World Showcase after dinner at Via Napoli Monday night (more on that later) and wandered into the Germany pavilion next door. Once inside the Germany pavilion I briefly looked over at the stand with the best name in all of Walt Disney World. Seriously, it’s called Bier. It’s so obvious that… → Read More

Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA
One of the most popular beers and a member of the Final Four of the 2014 Disney Beer Tournament was Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA. During the tournament we realized no one had reviewed 90 Minute, so now that the tournament is over I’m going to give it a proper review (or as proper… → Read More
Shock Top Belgian White
“Live life unfiltered.” That’s the Shock Top slogan, and it’s easy to see why. This Belgian white ale is a cloudy yellow-orange because it’s not filtered before bottling. The brew is made by the Shock Top Brewing Company in Memphis, Tennessee, but further research shows that Shock Top is a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch. Let’s judge the beer… → Read More
