Epcot Food & Wine Festival (Craft Beer)

[Thom72]

I'm planning a trip for Sept 19 during the "Food and wine festival" in EPCOT. Does anyone know if they will be areas for local craft beer vendors? I'm not much of a wine drinker and was hoping to try local breweries.

Inside the Odyssey building has been the "craft beer" area the last couple years. Most all the booths also have a beer choice. My DH doesn't drink wine and he was able to get a beer most everywhere.

DH and I do not drink wine either, and we find plenty of beer choices besides your average Bud Light.

DH's favorites are at the Germany pavilion and mine is at Canada!

Also, a lot of the food carts will have some local brews to drink. We were surprised last year when several of the international food carts had Cigar City, et al beer available. If it's local craft beer you're after, you shouldn't have a problem finding it during F&W!

IMHO, the craft beer selection was not that great. I would guess that WDW can't get enough of any one beer from a local brewery to keep it in stock for several months for F&W.

Easywdw does an excelletn review of F&W every fall and rates all the beers.

Agreed. We didn't make it to F&W last year until the last couple of days, and a few of the beers I wanted to try were sold out.

Sounds great and thanks for the quick replies, I just got back from a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise on the Escape. The ship had a craft beer bar/rest "The District Brew House" that had numerous craft beers from Florida ( Mostly from South Florida), but even though, I found them to be some of the top beers I've tried. Cant wait to see what they will have.

I have found that there was a pretty good selection of craft and local beer at F&W the last few years. Most of the booths and the Odyssey craft beer pavilion have flights of beer, love trying as many as I can! I will be here when it starts this year, looking forward to it for the beer and food!

Compared to previous years I've attended, last year's F&W beer selection was kinda slim. I'm hoping for a wider selection this year.
