DH and I love our beers (not big wine fans). Do you have any suggestions for lounges/restaurants on property that we absolutely need to try the brew? My husband loves his blondes (drinks, that is!) and hefs and I enjoy fruit beers and lagers. We will be staying at BCV with our DS and my parents. Thanks all for suggestions!
 
Try the specialty beers
. . . La Bud Light
. . . Le Millers
. . . Da Bud
. . . Die Becks

Lol I don't think any of these, or their varieties, classify as "beers." The only reason I asked was Disneyland Resort has a few local beers that we would have never tried or even known about. No harm in asking! =)
 
Perhaps Raglan Road. A decent beer selection. Some of the Epcot restaurants have good beers. Nothing really noteworthy in DHS, MK or AKL.
 
just came back from a week at wdw- absolute best beer we had was the grapefruit beer at food & wine but unfortunately i dont think it is offered regularly. :(

really love the Hurricane Reef Caribbean Pilsner which seemed to pop up on a few resort menus. we had it at yacht & beach club.

also enjoyed the safari amber which is available everywhere at animal kingdom and animal kingdom lodge.

are you familiar with moretti? they offer it at the italy pavillion.

cheers!

The choices in Disney World have really exploded recently. Beers and ears is an awesome resource.

Your best best for Belgian Blondes is the Castelain Blond at Be our Guest


Some of my recent recent favorites;
Saison Dupont/ Chimay stuff at Be Our Guest.
Racer 5 at the beer cart near test track.
Sierra Nevada Torpedo at Wolfgang Puck in Downtown Disney.
Canned SN Pale Ale by the pool.
Unibroue beers at Le Cellier in Canada at Epcot.
The California Grill now has Sculpin IPA.
Cigar City Jai Alai IPA is all over the parks now too.

There are also some cool Italian selections at Via Napoli in Epcot, not to mention the only serviceable pizza in the state of Florida.

Lots of the hotel restaurants and bars have a better selection, the Grand Floridian recently rolled out a new beer menu, that looks like it will be expanded to the other hotels.
 
Schofferhofer grapefruit beer was delicious. I had it at the lounge at the Yacht Club Resort. Big River Grille and Pub at the Boardwalk had a few good beers also.

They have the same grapefruit beer served at the lounge at the Yacht Club resort. I had it at both places a couple weeks ago. It is bottled at Yacht Club and not draft though.
 
Big beer snob here. I'll try to give you a heads up for your specific tastes.
Le Cellier serves Unibroue beers, and your husband will probably love Blanche de Chambly. The also serve Ephemere and Cherry Ephemere for your fruit-loving tastes.
ESPN Club has Widmer Hefeweizen, which is pretty decent.
Raglan Road has the requisite Irish/British draft list, plus a list of craft beer in bottles, but I can't remember what they are.
Big River is meh, but worth a sampler.
Narcoosees has a good list. I'm not a fan, but you might like the Breckenridge Agave Wheat. I am a fan, and your husband should like the Chimay White. Be Our Guest serves the Chimay, as well, as I just found out from a previous poster!
Il Mulino serves Ommegang, and the Witte is quite good. I'd also consider the Hennepin, which is a fine go-to saison with citrus notes you might like.
Tons of places have the Kona Longboard Lager. It's completely forgettable, but serviceable enough.
Cava de Tequila serves Dia de los Muertos, amongst the first breweries from Mexico's burgeoning craft beer industry to make it to America. They have a hefe that's not too bad.
Much to my dismay, the selection in Germany isn't terrific. But Schofferhofer Weizen is solid enough.
And finally, though it might not be in either of your wheelhouses, several places have the St. Bernadus 12, which is fantastic. And while Bear Republic Racer 5 is pretty good, if by some miracle there is a bottle of Racer X there, it's a terrific IPA you really should try.
Oh, and one more note. If you have a car and need a true beer fix, head up to World of Beer on Sand Lake and Dr. Phillips. 40 taps and a big bottle selection. It's a chain, but that doesn't stop them from bringing in some serious craft beers.
Prost!
 
By the way, I'm not sure what part of Southern California you're from, but the Bruery is one of the better craft breweries in the country, and it's just a stone's throw from Disneyland! Definitely check that out!
 
I am a huge beer lover and prefer trying freshly brewed beers so I much prefer going to brew pubs or beer bars rather than drinking anything bottled, canned, or something I can get anywhere. Big river on the Boardwalk is ok. Worth a stop. I would take a cab or drive to Sea Dog Brewery about a mile from Downtown Disney. Good food and really good beer.
 
Can you buy unopened beer from the lands to take home

No, unfortunately the parks don't sell beer to take home. There are some steins and beer related souvenirs if you really want something brew related. There are some nearby grocery stores and bottle shops if you fall in love with something local like Jai Alai..

Germany is presently serving Radeberger Pilsner, Altenmünster Oktoberfest, Schöfferhofer Weizen, and Hövels. The Oktoberfest is a can't miss if you like Lagers...
