Hi, I am going with my boyfriend for our first time at the Food and Wine Festival November 7-12! He is a total beer guy :drinking1 , but I take after my wino mom. :p A lot of people have mentioned certain types of wine and beer on here and I was just wondering if we could get a thread going of everyone's favorites so we know what to try without sampling everything and ending up :faint: ! Thanks!
 
Both are very subjective and someones favorite might not be anything you like. The sampling is the fun part. Just go and enjoy!
 
My favorite beer is the one in China. The only thing I don't like is they pour it into a plastic cup so you can't drink it out of the bottle.
 

You can get it around any good bars around the world (the actual one, not the Disney one) but my fav is in England: Bodingtons Pub Ale.... Or a black and tan with Guiness over Smithwick's - now THAT is tasy.
 
I don't drink beer (can't stand the taste) but the Ice Wine in Canada is WONDERFUL!!
 
English beer -
I love Guinness. At the Rose & Crown. I know it's available just about everywhere (I had 2 the other night at the pub across the square from my office) - but it just tastes MUCH better at the Rose & Crown than anywhere else. Bass Ale is good. Try Woodpecker cider - it's interesting. I'm personally going to try Harp for the first time.

Canadian beer -
Molsens (sp?) & Moosehead! 'Nuff said. I've never really liked Labatt's but I will give it another try.

Norwegian beer -
The Great Unknown for me. Never had a Norwegian beer. Maybe this time will be my first?

French beer -
??? (for different reasons). The only French beer I've ever had was a Blonde Bombshell but don't know what brewery made it. I was told it is Parisian, maybe a microbrewery?

Moroccan beer -
Casablanca is the only one that sticks out in my head. Sounds like I need to do some more exploring in Norwegian, French & Moroccan beers.

American beer -
Yuengling - It's a Philadelphia-area brew - the oldest in the U.S. I'm not sure if it's available at the American pavilion. If it's not, then this is my official petition to start having Disney serve it (as it's very historical and all)!
Sam Adams, oh yeah - they're doing a "history of beers" seminar

German beer -
Lowenbrau - mm hmmm. Sponsors Oktoberfest every Fri, Sat & Sun night in the German pavilion. Heineken is also always welcome at my table.

Chinese beer -
Tsingtao - actually the original brewmeister (is that the correct term for a Chinese beer?) was German.

Mexican beer -
Corona, Tecate, Dos Equis, Negro Modela. Mmmmm mmmm good.

Japanese beer -
Kirin is OK. I really like the heavier tasting beers (duh) and Kirin doesn't get it for me.

Oh yeah,
I'm not a wine person.
No opinion 'bout that.
 
YepsenCP -
Those Black & Tans are great! My brother and I had a Black & Tan Appreciation Dinner at the Rose & Crown in '03. In other words, we appreciated the Black & Tans (and partook of same B&Ts) more than the dinner - which wasn't bad in and of itself, if I (half) remember.

Before you guys have a "bad" ( :earseek: :confused3 :earseek: ) opinion of me, I rarely have more than one or two beers each trip (B&Ts excepted) - just been lots of times. I like to "remember" my vacations.

Plus, I'm 36 - so I've had 15 or so (major stress on the "or so" part) years to develop my faves.
 
Part of the fun in going is the sampling. One year I did the beer around the world tour and tried to have a beer in every country in the world showcase. I did it over two days so I didn't get totally drunk. Go and sample them all, thats half the fun.
 
I like sweet stuff, so the Plum wine at either Japan or China, the Cherry wine at the Poland booth, and the Banfi Rosa Regale champagen were all great, but by far the best is the Bellini in Italy! (It's a basically a Venetian champagne cocktail)
 
I say you try something from each booth around the world!!!!

And then tell us how it was!
