St. Arnold Divine Reserve #10
Tonight I’m having the latest from the St. Arnold Divine Reserve series, #10. This one is an English barleywine and is based on the recipe of a Houston homebrewer who won the Big Batch Brew Bash. It’s 11% ABV with a sweet and somewhat hoppy taste; the beer also looks thicker than it is. I… → Read More
Christmas Ale
Christmas Ale from Great Lakes Brewing Company Wow! This has instantly become one of my all time favorites! Available in the Cleveland area during the months of November and December only. Bars run out on a weekly basis! If you’re ever in the Cleveland area, you’ve gotta try it! I wish they had it year-round… → Read More
Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Hey guys! I’m not completely well yet but have had a hell of a day and am super excited to open up a beer. Beer of choice tonight is the 60 minute IPA! Usually I’m not a fan of IPA, but this one seems to go down a bit more smoothly. It has a ton… → Read More
Wells Bombardier
I’m writing from home because my phone died at the Flying Saucer (BetaMouse fail, I know). The final beer of the evening was Wells Bombardier. It was included with the Christmas glass and probably chosen for its reddish hue and inexpensive price. Honestly I wasn’t very thrilled with the beer; very weak taste and overall… → Read More
Independence Brewing 6th Anniversary Braggot
Second up tonight is a braggot by Independence Brewing. Honey is the theme of this beer, although to be honest I’m not sure I enjoy it more than the Abita Christmas. It’s a good beer for sure, but comparatively I think I would rather drink the Christmas Ale. I’ll probably be sipping on this until… → Read More
Abita Christmas Ale
Presenting Abita Christmas Ale live from the Flying Saucer in Houston. It has certainly improved from last year’s batch, which I found to be watery. It’s like Christmas in your mouth. More to come later, including the Flying Saucer’s Christmas glass. Unfortunately it’s a bit dark where I’m sitting, so the pictures require flash and… → Read More
Sam Adams Winter Lager – Seasonal
‘Tis the Season! I try to focus on the seasonal products put out in order to get a variety throughout the year. I’m looking forward to trying the other Winter or Holiday selections soon!
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
Saint Arnold Divine Reserve #9
Tonight, after a successful TweetWatch of Muppet Christmas Carol (thanks Ryan), I broke out a bottle of Saint Arnold Divine Reserve #9. The Divine Reserve series are limited edition single batch “big beers” from Texas’ oldest craft brewery. This particular beer is an Imperial Pumpkin Stout and was purchased over a year ago. I have… → 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

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
