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

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

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
