Saint Arnold Bishop’s Barrel 6
Pumpkin beer in February? Isn’t it a bit late for pumpkin beer? Not when it’s this damn good. On Monday (February 17, 2014), Saint Arnold released Bishop’s Barrel 6, their latest in a series of barrel aged beers. It’s already earned the nickname Rumkinator because it’s Pumpkinator (quite possibly my favorite Saint Arnold beer) aged in Appleton… → Read More
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout 2013
Have you ever read an article and wished it were an article from The Onion? The other day I read an article about Miller working on a bourbon-flavored beer. Supposedly it’s to compete with offerings such as Budweiser Black Crown as well as hard liquor, but I think they also see beers such as Goose… → Read More
Via Napoli and Birrificio L’Olmaia Christmas Duck
I guess best things come to those who wait, right? Unfortunately I’ve had this beer review in my head for about a year now and didn’t get to post it in time before Via Napoli’s beer menu changed over to the new season. However! Via Napoli and the awesome Italian ‘beer gods’ brought back the… → Read More

Goose Island Lolita (2013)
Back on New Year’s Eve at The Avenue, I first had Cantillon Mamouche, but the pub had also put a number of other beers on for the occasion including several other sours. Lolita by Goose Island was on draft so I decided to give it a shot as well. As far as i can tell,… → Read More
The Bruery Tart of Darkness (2013 Edition)
Remember when I went to Stein’s Deli and picked up six different beers from The Bruery? Anyone? [responsive_youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP0mQeLWCCo] Here’s the first I tried: Tart of Darkness. Aged in oak barrels, this sour stout is a strong but not overpowering 7% ABV. It pours a deep dank black with a small tan head. Despite being a… → Read More
Widmer Brothers Omission Gluten Free Lager
Way back when at some point last year, my friends and I headed over to ‘Ohana to grab dinner. When I saw Omission Lager, I was intrigued since it was the only gluten free option on the menu other than cider. Unfortunately, Omission is no longer on the Disney World standard beer menu but we’ve… → Read More
Cantillon Mamouche
Since I was in New Orleans back on New Year’s Eve, I had a special opportunity to head to The Avenue Pub (my favorite place in New Orleans) and try a beer from Cantillon for the first time. For those who don’t know, Cantillon is a Belgian brewery that specializes in lambics. Unlike many beers which… → Read More
Abita Grapefruit Harvest IPA
Grapefruit. If someone were to ask me what Disney Parks fans’ favorite fruit is, I’d have to say grapefruit. Schöfferhofer Grapefruit, the half beer, half grapefruit juice blend, is consistently one of the most accessed beers on the site. Winter is here, but fortunately winter brings another grapefruit beer. Abita Grapefruit Harvest IPA is part… → Read More

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
Pilsner Urquell – Bohemian Pilsener classic example
The Bohemian Pilsener style was first brewed in 1842 and can be considered the original clear, light-colored beer. When looking for an example to taste from this style Pilsner Urquell should be your first stop. When looking at the characteristics of this style you can taste the details in Pilsner Urquell. Some key notes to… → Read More
Samuel Adams Summer Ale
The summer seasonal from the Boston Beer Company is Samuel Adams Summer Ale. Referred to as an American wheat ale, its inspiration comes from Belgian witbiers (think Hoegaarden). Samuel Adams’ twist on the style includes lemon peel and Grains of Paradise. Summer Ale has a hazy golden color with a nose full of grain. Malty… → 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.
Shiner Bock
I purchased a six pack called the Shiner Family Reunion; it contains six different beers from the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX; I also had one of these at the House of Blues the other night when I saw Richard Cheese. Since this is the most common Shiner beer you’ll come across, I decided to… → Read More

Muddy Rivers Pool Bar at Port Orleans Riverside
Something we never seem to do when we’re at Walt Disney World is spend much time at the pool. We spend most of our time in the parks instead. I did, however, stop by the Muddy Rivers Pool Bar one afternoon to check it out. See that guy in the white behind the tree on… → Read More
Boma – Flavors of Africa
Can you believe it’s already been two months since I was in Disney World? I still haven’t gone through all my photos and it still seems like we just went. After a hot morning and a rainy afternoon at Animal Kingdom, we hopped on a bus over to Animal Kingdom Lodge. This was my first… → Read More
