I know what you’re thinking…”Wait, where can I find Prestige lager on WDW Property?  I’ve never seen it before!”  While you can’t find Prestige normally on property, you were able to find it at the Haiti booth during the Flower & Garden Festival this past spring.  It’s taken me THAT long to write this review about it.  Luckily I’ve learned to take notes so I don’t forget what these babies taste like.  Since the booth and/or beer might make a  [ Read More ]

Fall is here, and Lewis Black has some choice words for the coming of the season. ‘Oh, the leaves change color!’ – they change color for two days, then a big wind comes, you got nothing but sticks for the rest of the year. And then the weather is completely nonsense. You don’t even have a proper Fall coat. Nothing you wear is right. You wake up, it’s sunny out, you put a coat on, you go out, you’re sweating  [ Read More ]

Hailing from Japan, Asahi can be found throughout the Japanese pavilion at Epcot. It’s brewed by the Asahi Breweries; Asahi is the number one brewery and soft drink company in Japan. The flagship brew has changed over the years; first it was Asahi Draft, then Asahi Gold, and now it is Asahi Super Dry; the latter started the dry beer craze. You may remember the American brewers producing beers such as Bud Dry; in Japan they love dry beer, but  [ Read More ]

Last drink at Dawa Bar (don’t worry, we spaced these over 2 days) was St. George Beer.  The brewery is located in Ethiopia, NOT to be confused with the brewery of the same name in Virginia.  There is no official website though so I couldn’t pull up any additional information to wow you guys with. This was the lightest of the beers we had at Dawa, and it was also the least memorable.  Reminded me a lot of the mass  [ Read More ]

My second beer attempt at Dawa Bar was another Ethiopian brew, Meta. Meta Abo Brewery is located in the town of Sebata, 27 km from Addis Ababa. The brewery was established in 1963 by the Ethiopian Government and Ethiopian private nationals as a share company with a starting capital base of 2 million Birr.  It is the only brewery which gets water from a big reserve of soft spring water (locally known as holy water of St. Abo). The spring  [ Read More ]

I was recently out to dinner at a local Vietnamese restaurant and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a decent selection of beers on the menu. “33″ Export immediately caught my eye. It’s a Vietnamese lager that has a nice bright gold color. I enjoyed the beer with a nice bowl of Pho, it was light enough to compliment the saltiness of the soup. It really wasn’t anything special though, it reminded me of Amstel Light. It’s not  [ Read More ]

Five beers are served in the Mexico pavilion, and we’ve reviewed four of them. Tecate is the fifth, and it’s another beer brewed by Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery. Apparently the Mexico pavilion doesn’t feel the need to branch out to other Mexican breweries such as Grupo Modelo or something even more exotic. Tecate pours a very Bud Light-ish yellow color (yeah I said it) with a thin, white, quickly dissipating head. Smells like corn; have you figured out where this is going  [ Read More ]

From the Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery in Mexico, the brewer responsible for Sol, Dos Equis, Tecate and others, comes Bohemia. Bohemia is a pilsner that gets its name from the region that is now part of the Czech Republic. This region is well known for its brewing and is the birthplace of the pilsner. Bohemia is a clear golden lager with a small, quickly dissipating head. Light grain in the nose. The taste is fairly light as well; grain notes with a  [ Read More ]

Saint Patrick’s day is tomorrow, Saturday, May 17, and friends, we need to talk. Not about wearing green or not, but about the massive disrespect that goes on as far as drinking beer goes on this Irish holiday. For the love of all that is holy, do not dye Bud Light (or insert any other American lager here) green and drink it and say you’re celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day. This is how Budweiser/Coors/Miller/etc. try to insert themselves into a celebration  [ Read More ]

Now I have to admit I did not have too much knowledge about this brewery or beer. Then on my trip to Trader Joe’s I found they have a few of these. I couldn’t help myself but pick a couple of bottles up since one of my favorite things about TJ’s is they sell the bottles individually not just by the six-pack. The one thing that caught my eye from the label was that this is a 100% malt beer.  [ Read More ]
