Beer help, please!

Hello! My DH is doing research on beer at WDW. Can an of you tell me what beers you've seen around the World lately?

One of the places we most need a report on is Canada in Epcot. Anyone had a drink there recently?

Hi!

You NEED to speak with Uncleromulus... *smiles*

I am from Canada and was disappointed at our offerings... Just Molsons products when I was there... still better... or ummm, perhaps I should say more familiar than American beers... but not our best... no... they're better... sorry!

Please try them though... they are Canadian... *I suppose I am obligated to insert an "eh" here"* Molson Ice or Dry are pretty... ummmm... okay.... good *smiles and wishes the Canada pavillion could import Creemore Springs*

Ah--beer!!
In Epcot, the beer offerings are usually geared to one or two popular offerings from each country. Not really a great selection. As Taryn notes-Molson in Canada. They ought to be able to do better than that.
In Germany, it's Becks. Again, they could certainly improve on that. Mexico features Dos Equis--and so on. My choice of the best beer at Epcot is Rhinges at the Norway Pavillion.
Sadly, WDW beer offerings have deteriorated thru the years. Hardly any specialty brews around anymore (ie The Lodge Brew at Artist Point is gone, Safari Amber at Jikos is gone etc). Most restaurants now carry the "usual suspects"--Sam Adams, Corona, Bass, Bud, Coors, etc

Occasionally you can find something interesting. They have (or had )Hatuey over at Bongo's. House of Blues still has Dixie Blackened Voodo. Citrico's has Fischer's Alscace La belle. Anchor Steam and Sierra Nevada Pale are available at California Grill.
Big River Grille on the Boardwalk has their own micro-brews--Wowzer's Wheat being my favorite. Flying Fish has (or had) Flying Fish Ale.
The lounge with the most beer offerings is Crew's Cup over at the Yacht Club resort. 30-some beers on the list.
Hope this helped--.

When we ate at Le Cellier they had some specialty type brews on a menu on the table. I wish I could remember what they were.

 

[Gillian]

Thank you! That should help.

I think the specialty beer at Le Cellier may have been from Unibroue. Not sure which one. I know DH is a fan. We didn't get to eat there in September & we forgot to check the menu

There were actually three or four. I think I had two of them. They were very good.

I enjoy sampling the beer in each country at World Showcase. If I try to do it all in one day, I get pretty shnockered before I can finish! MY favorite, as you can see from my signature is Guinness, for strength. In the old country, they give Guinness to nursing mothers.

There were a couple of interesting Japanese beers on tap at the sushi bar at Wolfgang Puck's DTD.
