Mitchells Brewery in Cape Town, South Africa

May 19, 2015

I wasn’t excited when I saw that the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa was on our African Culinary Adventure itinerary. So what if it’s Africa’s largest shopping and entertainment center. I didn’t travel around the world to shop. I came to taste and adventure. I could see its usefulness for dinner, but outside of the evening hours, I wanted nothing to do with it, let alone an entire afternoon. So…

Honolulu Beer Guide – Where to Find Your IPA in Paradise!

May 1, 2015

We’ve been exploring the craft beer scene in tropical paradises recently on The Wandering Gourmand with posts on Aruba and Cancun. Both vacation destinations show promise as they begin to serve beer beyond watered down island lager. But what about US tropical destinations like Honolulu?.

Fullsteam Brewery Review in Durham, North Carolina

April 8, 2015

Fullsteam Brewery – Beer Brewed the Hard Way. Many a craft beer fan wanted to throw their can, bottle, or pint glass at the TV when they saw Budweiser’s “Brewed the Hard Way” advertisement during the Super Bowl. But then again, none of us wanted to waste good beer in such a frivolous manner. (I guess that’s because we’re all beer dissectors?) Instead, we began an intellectual war through blogs and YouTube….

A Guide to Craft Beer in Vienna, Austria

April 3, 2015

I had reached my breaking point when I was in Vienna, Austria. I mean, I liked the local wine, but I had enough. I needed to find beer in Vienna. I missed the breweries, beer halls, and beer gardens that I so much enjoyed in Munich and Salzburg. Surely a city as large as Vienna had a beer scene buried somewhere among its wine taverns, quaint cafés, and imperialist architecture. And no I…

A Craft Beer Aruba Beer Guide

March 20, 2015

I used to poke fun at tourists who would complain about local beer when traveling. I’m sure you’ve heard it before. “I love going to the Caribbean, but the beer… Can’t they just serve Coors Light?” Statements like that would to get my blood boiling. If you’re that married to your precious domestic cans and can’t taste the local flavors, then go to Florida. They have beaches, sunshine, and all the fizzy…

Best Craft Breweries

March 18, 2015

Unless you’ve been living under a Bud Light can for the past five years, you’ve probably noticed and enjoyed the explosive growth of the craft beer industry in the United States. Cities that were once brewery dry now boast ten plus breweries each offering something unique to the beerscape. With so many breweries, it’s hard to choose a favorite. But if we’re honest with ourselves, we all have one, whether it’s a…
