Stone 17th Anniversary Götterdämmerung IPA
Stone tends to make bitter beers. Götterdämmerung IPA is no exception, and especially as an anniversary beer it should be expected. Sometimes, however, Stone seems to brew the same beer and put it in a different bottle. I recently had their R&R Coconut IPA and there was absolutely no coconut taste in it. I even had… → Read More
Guest Review: The Beer Dinner at the 2013 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival
Today we have the pleasure of bringing you a review of The Beer Dinner (formerly known as the Radeberger Beer Dinner) at the 2013 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival from our very special guest author Allison Thayer! When looking for something different to do during our October trip, I stumbled upon The Beer Dinner. There… → Read More
Birra Del Borgo Rubus con Lamponi
With all these Italian beers appearing locally I’ve been trying them when I get the chance. When I was at the Flying Saucer last week, they had Birra Del Borgo’s Rubus con Lamponi. You may remember this was served at the Primavera Kitchen booth at the 2013 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. Rubus con Lamponi… → Read More
Young’s Double Chocolate Stout
Just in time to be removed from the standard beer menu at Walt Disney World (and replaced by Left Hand Milk Stout two weeks later), here’s my review of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. Wells & Young’s Brewery in Bedford, England, is a result of a merger between Charles Wells Ltd. and Young’s Brewery. Wells is… → Read More
Updated Walt Disney World Standard Beer Menu – October 2013
Remember when the standard beer menu was updated at the end of last month? Apparently Disney wasn’t finished. Kendra (follow her on Twitter by the way, she tweets awesome Disney stuff including dining and photography) was kind enough to send over the new menu she found at Crew’s Cup recently. Everything that was on the previous menu is… → Read More
Birrificio Le Baladin Nora
I was walking through the local liquor store the other day not finding much (I had once again gone in search of Southern Tier’s Pumking but struck out) when I was walking down the import aisle. This isn’t your normal import aisle full of Heineken and Corona; it has beer from all around including the… → Read More
Beer Souvenirs at Walt Disney World
If you’re like me, you’re not a fan of the generic year merchandise and the stuff you can find at nearly every store in Walt Disney World. With the generally family-friendly atmosphere of Walt Disney World, I wasn’t expecting to find much in the way of beer-related souvenirs. To my surprise, this wasn’t exactly the case…. → Read More
Updated Standard Walt Disney World Beer Menu – September 2013
Had enough new beers yet with the 2013 Epcot Food and Wine Festival? It’s also that time of year where Walt Disney World tends to update their standard beer menu for the next year or so. First, a huge special thanks to Kim for getting the new list to us! Let’s start with the new… → Read More

Xingu Black Beer
At the 2013 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, the Brazil booth will feature Xingu (pronounced “shin-goo”) Black Beer. The beer gets its name from the Xingu River in Brazil and it supports the Y Ikatu Xingu organization, a group devoted to protecting the Amazon rainforest as well as the Xingu River basin. Back when… → Read More
What's Hot
Delirium Noël
The tree is finished; next on the list of Christmas decorations is the lights. Hopefully it goes better than this: Anyway, that’s not really what you’re here for is it? On with the beer! Tonight I’m pouring myself another holiday beer. Pink elephants: they’re not just in Dumbo anymore. From Brouwerij Huyghe (Huyghe Brewery in Belgian) comes… → 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
Karbach Brewing Co. Bourbon Barrel Hellfighter 2012
Karbach has really been on a roll with its barrel aged beers. F.U.N. Series #003 is Hellfighter, an Imperial porter aged in bourbon barrels for at least five months. A 10.8% ABV limited edition brew, this bottle can cause a little bit of confusion because Hellfighter is also the name of Karbach’s regular Imperial porter…. → Read More
Uinta Baba Black Lager
Here’s the first pre-2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival beer review! Uinta Brewing’s Baba Black Lager is a beer Disney mentioned would be on the Food and Wine Festival menu early. 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
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
The 2014 Disney Beer Tournament – The Champion!

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
The Beer of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival 2013!
The booth menus are out (here’s the full list), so let’s take a look at the beers that will grace our presence (or not) at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival 2013. Let’s start from the north (World Showcase Plaza) and go clockwise, as far as we know based on last year’s map. Terra… → Read More
