Drinking around Disney

[Clifton Tesh]

As a very avid beer lover, I would love to see a "drinking around Disney" thread.

There may already be one but it didn't show up in a search.

There's ones for Disney springs and EPCOT but alcoholic drinks have rapidly spread through all of Disney's resorts and parks over the past few years.

I'm personally a huge fan of pilsners, hefeweizens, saisons, and most anything German and European.

Where are the best places around Walt Disney World to find those kind of beers?

Obviously the different pavilions in EPCOT so I'm more so looking for restaurants and kiosks outside of EPCOT.

A thread here is a great idea but if you need some quick answers, there is this great FB group that has turned into something more:

I only drink strong beers like double IPAs. Most restaurants have Cigar City Jai Alai, which is my go-to. Occasionally, I will find Boulevard Tank 7, which I love. The deluxe resorts will match the beer selection to their themes like Kona at Poly, Elysian at Wilderness Lodge, or Samuel Adams at yacht/beach club.

I like the hefeweizen they have on draft at Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom.

I appreciate the response but I am not a Facebook kind of person. It sucks at times because there's some wonderful resources there but life has been a lot less stressful ever since I left Facebook.

I'm not a fan of the bitter and/or hoppy taste of IPAs but I love a nice strong beer too.

I have some St Bernardus abt12 that I'm currently aging. It's a Belgian Quad with a 10% abv and I will never turn down a good stout, especially a barrel aged one.

I'll keep an eye out for the Jai Alai. I'm not afraid to try new things!

I will have to give it a try! Thanks, I didn't know it was there.

I once ordered Boulevard Brew Tank 7 at Top of the World (BayLake Tower) and the server poured it like it was a Bottle of champagne!
Way to earn a generous tip …
I lived in Kansas City and spent childhood in St.Louis ( Anheuser Busch Brewery … so Beers are great topic !

Ok, didn't realize Boulevard Tank 7 was a beer, thought it was a bar!

Definitely gonna hunt it down.

The last time we were at Epcot was 2016. We will be back at WDW on Saturday.

I'm hoping to get a beer stein when we go to Epcot this time. I didn't know they had them when we went in 2016 so it wasn't budgeted for but this time, I'm prepared.

The place that sells those German Steins also sells cold individual bottled beer.

The Biergarten is so much fun during the holidays .
They perform a live stage show and invite children to dance floor to dance the Polka .
( more popular than the chicken dance at St.Louis weddings Haha )

Already told my wife that I'm spending a day walking around Disney springs drinking, definitely going to have to check out City Works. I didn't even know it existed!

I have not checked this yet but
The Coronado Springs Resort has expanded since Covid…
The new Grand Destino Towers has roof top outdoor bar and they redesigned the bridge to connect the huge (convention style property) .
Three bridges connect across water and designed an incredible Lounge in middle …
No ADR s just walk up seating Opens at 4:30
Its really pretty to walk around in the evening too, They actually have benches along the bridge to sit and enjoy.
