oh no!

Pizza? I'm from blah blah blah and I know pizza, this isn't good pizza.
Crab cake? I'm from blah blah blah and I know good crab cakes, this isn't a good crab cake.
Lobster roll? I'm from blah blah blah and I know good lobster rolls, this isn't a good lobster roll.
Grilled cheese? I'm from....oh wait, that was me complaining about being a connoisseur of a good grilled cheese and I proclaimed WDW didn't have any.

Of course it won't be as good as whatever you are used to, but it can still be good.

Maybe they'll have BBQ Grilled Cheese!

How about we all agree that a quick service Disney fill in the blank is not going to be as good as your favorite hometown restaurant and move on. Liberty inn was nothing special in a park that has a ton of good food, and so a change here should disappoint few people. I give Disney credit for finally changing out a location that's been subpar for 20 years.

A brisket grilled cheese, I would try!

So now Lego has ownership of their own theme parks

Everyone so offended by millennials, jeez. Nothing wrong with being born in the eighties, friends.

And yeah Sam Adams beers aren't obviously tops in the Boston area but they're the most popular and I think Disney already sells some of their product anyway.

They have it at the Liberty Tree already, I know that much. I really only drink it if there's nothing else around. I'm in the western part of the state and we have our fair share of local breweries that make better beers (BBC, Iron Duke, Treehouse, etc).

I'm pretty sure Woody's Lunchbox has one of these!

I think there are some good Sam Adams brews - but it should in no way shape or form be considered a "craft" beer. (That's like calling Yuengling a craft beer.)

 

[Phicinfan]

I've had good barbecue all over this country, even here in Chicago. Give it a chance, it might be good!

I have to agree, and best part is depending on where you go it is all different....
KC is great, love the dry rub from Memphis , love the vinegar base of the Carolinas as well!

more like a Rudy's

I happen to like Rudy's more than Franklin's. Maybe I'm not a connoisseur?

technically both Boston Beer Co and Yuengling are craft breweries - definition is 6 million barrels or less (which usually keeps increasing, largely from the lobbying of Boston Beer Co)

The flavors of the fire booth at food and wine is one of my favorites.
I'd agree with whomever posted that they can probably make something good out of this. It may not be out of this world good, but it should be decent. Certainly plenty of style around the country. As for craft beer, I think the smaller breweries are getting better distribution these days. The challenge with disney is volume. So beer selection will have to supplied by someone that can support the volume. I'd be content to have beer constantly rotating through there. I don't expect 50 taps, but 5 or 6, with 1 or 2 of them quickly rotating through would be nice.

my ideal setup for the beer would be to have 3 sets of 6 taps with 1 set being regular beers that are consistently there, one set that are seasonal and thus change quarterly, and then one other set that changes often and maybe can do a featured brewery ever now and then

Probably more ambitious than is realistic, but I think some combination of having some standard with some rotating would be good

That would be nice. As long as they don't overload on IPAs I'll be happy. I was at a local bar last night that has 24 taps, but I think 15 were IPAs. Awful.

Although until their acquisition of Dogfish Head, Sam Adams was about to lose their "craft brewery" designation, because I believe more than 50% of your sales have to be beer and their sales of cider (Angry Orchard), hard tea (Twisted) and hard seltzer (Truly Spiked & Sparkling) were about to be more than 50%.

Just what I needed. A reminder that EPCOT isn't going to be as empty as it is right now forever.

 

[hertamaniac]

I don't care for any beer, but am a fan of hand pumped "real ale" served at cellar temperature. I am not sure if there is anyplace on WDW property where you can get a non-carbonized (or nitrogen infused), non-ice cold ale.
