Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen
Saw this in the refrigerator at Total Wine and was really hoping it would taste similar to Sam Adams Oktoberfest. I was let down. This isn’t one of my favorites.
Sea Dog Blue Paw Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale
I wanted to like this beer…I really did. But I just couldn’t do it. The initial taste of the beer was meh. Nothing to write home about. The aftertaste though made up for it slightly, but it tasted like I had just eaten a blueberry muffin, but not what a beer should taste like. Strange…. → Read More
St. Bernardus Prior 8
Today after work I picked up a sampler four-pack of St. Bernardus beers; the pack also included a St. Bernardus trappist glass. First up from this sampler pack is Prior 8. It’s an excellent brew with a bit of a sweet taste and very drinkable with an 8% alcohol content. Just what I need after… → Read More
Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier
I might be able to officially proclaim this as my new favorite beer! I’m a sucker for a GOOD German Weiss beer and this was fabulous. A little spicy kick but still sweet. Swore I tasted apricot but it’s just the yummy wheat 🙂 Coming from the World’s Oldest Brewery, I’m guessing they know a… → Read More
Smithwick’s Irish Ale
Courtesy of @kidanikatie ‘s dad! By the makers of Guinness…but not as heavy. I really enjoyed this!
Canada
You can find this delicacy in the Canada pavilion in EPCOT. It’s worth a try next time you’re there. I won’t promise it’s the best beer you’ll have, but it’s decent. @futureWDWCEO is in the background.
Starting off the festivities…Rogue Mocha Porter
Since I’m on a Rogue kick, started off with this beauty….Fell in love right away. Coffee & chocolate flavors were fabulous. Dare I say that it reminded me of Guinness yet slightly smoother and lighter? Hope everyone had a great New Year!
Happy New Year! – Petrus Tripel
This is an extremely foamy but good beer; fitting for New Year’s as it looks like a champange bottle. Happy New Year to everyone!
Third Coast Beer by Bell’s
Giving this a whirl tonight from a great Michigan brewer. My first sip was superb!
Sam Adams Old Fezziwig Ale
Finishing out my Sam Adams pack with some Old Fezziwig Ale on New Year’s Eve. Wherever you are, whatever you’re drinking, have a fabulous New Year!

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

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??
