Mailbag Monday – Gluten-Free Edition
Welcome back to Mailbag Monday! Before we get started, it’s not often we get analysis of theme and the history behind it for a bar. However, EPCOT Explorer has done just that for Trader Sam’s at Disneyland (and he goes into the just-announced Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto for the Polynesian Village as well). It’s a… → Read More
Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier
“The World’s Oldest Brewery” boasts the label. Can this be proven without a doubt? Probably not, but Weihenstephan has a good claim. Originally the brewery of the Weihenstephan Abbey, Weihenstephan Brewery can document its existence as far back as the year 768. The abbey’s use as a monastery ended in 1803, but the brewery still produces the flagship Hefe Weissbeer,… → Read More

Prairie/Evil Twin Bible Belt
[responsive_youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbrnXl2gO_k] There aren’t a whole lot of breweries in Oklahoma, but Prairie Artisan Ales can run with the best of them. Today’s beer, Bible Belt, is a collaboration beer with Evil Twin (some of you may remember Evil Twin’s Soft Dookie was featured here a while back). The formula for Bible Belt seems simple enough;… → 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
The Bruery Saison Rue
The second beer from The Bruery’s launch into Louisiana (see Tart of Darkness for the first), Saison Rue is one of The Bruery’s year-round beers. Even more importantly, Carthay Circle in Disney California Adventure serves this Belgian-style saison brewed with rye. It’s been almost seven years since I’ve been to Disneyland, and it’s high time I… → Read More
Victory Golden Monkey
Victory the Golden Monkey. Sounds like the newest member of The Muppets, right? Maybe if Estelle were writing this, we’d hear all about this imaginary Muppet, but you’ll just have to put up with me today and learn about the beer Victory Golden Monkey. Victory hails from Downington, PA, where two friends decided to strike… → Read More
North Coast Brewing Co. Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
Now that the Disney Beer Tournament is over for this year, it’s time to get back to reviewing some beer! I’m starting with Old Rasputin by North Coast Brewing Co. This Russian imperial stout has a nice 9% ABV. So what’s the difference between an imperial stout and a Russian imperial stout? Not much, really…. → Read More

What's Hot
Lagunitas Brown Shugga’
Can you feel it in the air? It’s almost my favorite time of year. Christmas. Chilly nights, hustle and bustle, twinkling lights, egg nog, and shit show family gatherings filled with alcohol. Oh, just my family? In the spirit of the season all your favorite breweries will soon be releasing their holiday ales. It’s as… → Read More
Blanche de Bruxelles
One of my new favorite beers. You surprised that it’s another wheat beer? Yea, such a surprise right there! Plus the cute tap doesn’t hurt. Makes us laugh each time. The bartenders at this particular bar made the little statue a diaper b/c they were tired or staring at his nakedness. … → Read More
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.
Presenting the 2015 Disney Beer Tournament Champion!
It’s been two weeks since we started the 2015 Disney Beer Tournament and we have a champion! A few comments from Twitter: .@beersandears as much as I enjoy Chimay Blue, I'm pulling for DFH90. They're my kind of people. http://t.co/UuSg7I72HM #DisneyBeer2015 — Jason Heger (@Nissan_Rogue_sq) April 2, 2015 Me: I wish there was a beer… → Read More
Three Floyds – Pride & Joy Mild Ale
Usually I don’t go for a hoppy beer….but this is a decent ale from Indiana brewer Three Floyds.
crawlDisney: The Friendship Pub Crawl
Previously on crawlDisney we looked at Drinking Around the World at Epcot, where in just a short walk it’s possible to try beers from thirteen different countries. Today’s edition of Beer Tours is just a short walk away from World Showcase. Just outside Epcot’s International Gateway are five resorts lining the shores of Crescent Lake. Inside… → Read More
Dos Equis Ambar
“…a rich, robust flavored beer with the smooth drinkability of a classic dark-style lager.” Um, no. Okay, fine, I’ll give the marketing person who wrote that line on Dos Equis Ambar’s back label credit for the smooth drinkability. It’s smooth alright (is it possible to be too smooth?), because it’s very easy to drink. On… → 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
Unibroue La Fin du Monde
Before heading to a Sox game at Fenway, I had a chance to stop by a new bar in Cambridge, The Tap Room. Lots of beers available, over 30 on tap! The first beer I tried was La Fin du Monde brewed by Unibroue of Canada. Scott reviewed this beer previously, check out his review… → 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
