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

You may have been expecting the next installment of my visit to The Avenue in New Orleans, but I’ll get back to that soon. On Saturday I visited Saint Arnold Brewing Company for my birthday; it’s just north of downtown Houston and is located at 2000 Lyons Ave. Saint Arnold hosts tours every day except… → Read More
Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale
The second beer I picked up this week to try is Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale. It’s a British beer that certainly lives up to its name. Just over a pint of a very nutty brown ale with a nice bitterness that stays on the palate long after the sip has passed. I would definitely… → Read More

Some key notes to… → Read More

The good news is all of the World Showcase pavilions serve beer. However, not all of them… → Read More
Harviestoun Brewery Ola Dubh 16

Delirium Tremens
Another House of Brews winner.. when the gang saw that they had Delirium Tremens we each quickly ordered a bottle. How can we say no to a beer that was rated the best beer multiple times?? Definitely didn’t disappoint. Could drink this every single day. Great combination of fruits and spices and was very smooth… → Read More
