What's New
Casa from Tangeriene Cafe
My favorite World Showcase beer, and one you can’t find (or I can’t) outside the World, is Casa, from Morocco. It’s light, refreshing and quite smooth. I adore it.
Harp Lager from Yorkshire County Fish Shop
My 2nd fave beer in World Showcase, and favorite at home is Harp Lager. My love affair started right here at the UK pavilion, and it’s a must do for me whenever I’m here.
Dos Equis from La Cantina
A fine Dos Equis from La Cantina. My first of the day in World Showcase, but not my last. Stay tuned…
Goose Island – Honker’s Ale
This is a beer from a brewery in Chicago. I really enjoyed this beer as it had great flavor and wasn’t bitter. I’ve never had a Goose Island beer and won’t hesitate to try another based on the flavor and experience from this one. I highly recommend this beer if you’re able to find it… → Read More
St. Bernardus Pater 6
Presenting the fourth and final beer from the St. Bernardus four-pack: Pater 6. I wanted to drink this a lot sooner but I haven’t been feeling great this week. It’s another good one, but this one ranks third out of the four St. Bernardus beers. Abt 12 was my favorite, followed by Prior 8, Pater… → Read More
Stella Won’t You Take Me Home
I don’t have one beer that is my absolute favorite, but this beer is currently one of my all time favorites! I will never turn down a Stella. This beer has great flavor and isn’t too sweet or too bitter. If you haven’t had one, head over to the Tambu lounge at the Polynesian Resort… → Read More
Abita Jockamo IPA
Since LSU is playing in the Cotton Bowl tonight I held off from drinking the last St. Bernardus and instead picked up a Jockamo IPA from Abita. The name is based on a song called “Iko Iko” about two “tribes” of Mardi Gras Indians. “Iko Iko” has been played by many bands but The Dixie… → Read More
Hofbräu Hefe Weizen for the Win!
I’ve always wanted to try a hofbräuhaus beer and I finally got to tonight. I wasn’t disappointed. Anybody that knows me knows that I’m a big fan of hefe weizen. This is one of my favorites. It’s a pretty sweet beer and no bad after taste. It was actually kind of refreshing! I can’t wait… → Read More
St. Bernardus Tripel
Tonight I’m having the third of the St. Bernardus four-pack. It’s their Tripel, and it’s definitely the weakest of the three so far in my opinion. I also preferred the Petrus Tripel from New Year’s Eve to this one despite Petrus’ extreme foaminess. One more St. Bernardus beer to go!
St. Bernardus Abt 12
It’s shaping up to be a St. Bernardus week here. Tonight’s brew is Abt 12, and it’s dark and delicious. A wonderful beer to sip while you watch your wife’s new Roomba vacuum (that’s what I did). Abt 12 has a wheat-like scent and a great taste; sweet, bitter and a bit of an alcoholic… → 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
