Beers Around the World at EPCOT: Best Beer in Every Country

You can spend $18 on a margarita in Mexico and you can line up for a frozen wine slushie in France. You can even get an expensive flight of whiskey in the United Kingdom.

You can do a lot of things at EPCOT.

But if beer is your drink, The World Showcase is one of the better places on earth to drink it. Not because Disney has impeccable taste, but because between eleven pavilions and a rotating cast of festival booths, you’ve got German lagers, a Moroccan import, plus Irish stouts poured properly. There’s also a Norwegian strawberry cream ale that turns out to be from Tampa.

In our experience, some of it is excellent, and some of it is the beer equivalent of a microwaved frozen ravioli. Either way, if a beer tour is your goal, you have plenty to work with.

Can You Drink Around the World at EPCOT With Only Beer?

Yes. All eleven World Showcase pavilions pour at least one beer. Most pour something tied to the country you’re standing in.

The loop is about 1.2 miles. The unofficial “Drinking Around the World” crawl, where you order one drink per country, is an EPCOT tradition that predates Instagram and will outlast whatever Disney calls its next app.

Beer is also just easier to carry around the lagoon. It doesn’t melt, separate, or turn into warm wine while you’re standing in the China pavilion. And at most pavilions, a draft pint runs you a decent chunk less than a cocktail, which means your wallet survives longer.

And despite what some older Reddit threads and beer lists say, you can find something worth drinking in every pavilion. Not every beer is actually brewed in the country it represents, but Disney does a decent job of keeping the choices on-theme.

What Beer Costs at EPCOT in 2026

If you’re planning to try beer in several pavilions, when you visit matters almost as much as what you order.

On the rare days when there isn’t a festival taking place at EPCOT, most of your choices are full-size beers. A typical kiosk draft is around 16 ounces, and Rose & Crown pours a full 20-ounce imperial pint. Good value if you want one beer. A lot less practical if you’re hoping to taste your way around World Showcase.

Festivals make this so much easier because during Food & Wine, Flower & Garden, Festival of the Arts, and Festival of the Holidays, the marketplace booths usually offer smaller pours alongside the full-size option:

• 6 oz tasting pour: Usually around $5.50–$6.00. This is the size I’d choose if you want to sample several beers without committing to a full pint at every stop.
• 12 oz full pour: Usually around $9.50–$10.00. Better if you already know you like the beer, or if you’re splitting it with someone.

The smaller festival pours are one of the easiest ways to turn this into an actual tasting crawl instead of ordering eleven full beers you never really wanted in the first place.

Where to Find Beer Flights at EPCOT

EPCOT Festivals also bring out more beer flights. Booths with several beers on tap will often sell a sampler with three of the smaller 6 oz pours, which lets you try a few things without buying each one individually.

Outside festival season, flights are much harder to find. Two of the better year-round options are:

1. Block & Hans in the American Adventure – A rotating American craft beer flight with four 4-ounce pours, usually around $13.25.
2. Rose & Crown Pub in the United Kingdom – The Imperial Sampler, four small pours for $14.75 at the pub. Order the same thing in the dining room and it’s $16.25.

If you’re visiting between festivals, I wouldn’t build the day around finishing a full beer in every pavilion. Pick the ones you actually want to try, share larger pours when it makes sense, and save Rose & Crown for a beer you’re happy to sit down with.

During a festival, though, those little 6-ounce pours make it much easier to sample your way around the lagoon.

Where to Find Each Type of Beer

If you only like one type of beer, here is what you can find where:

Best Beer in Every EPCOT Pavilion

Every pick below is a walk-up window, kiosk, or counter. I mention the sit-down restaurants where they have something good, but they aren’t crawl stops.

Want to know why we picked them? Here’s the country-by-country breakdown:

Mexico: Hércules Lágermaiz

Mexico’s beer situation gets overshadowed by all those margaritas, but there’s good stuff here if you know where to look.

My pick is the Hércules Lágermaiz at Choza de Margarita for $13. It’s brewed with Mexican heirloom corn, which makes it more interesting than grabbing another Dos Equis you could probably buy at home. La Cantina de San Angel usually has Lágermaiz on draft too, along with a rotating Mexican craft beer around $13.50.

Dos Equis is a dollar or so cheaper, but unless that’s specifically what you want, I’d spend the extra buck and try something you’re less likely to find in your grocery store beer aisle.

Norway: Norsk Jordbærkrem Strawberry Cream Ale

This is my current favorite beer in Norway, mostly because it is exactly the kind of slightly weird EPCOT drink I want to find on a crawl.

The Norsk Jordbærkrem Strawberry Cream Ale is $13.75 at the outdoor Norway beer kiosk. It’s strawberry-forward, creamy, and surprisingly easy to drink for something sitting at 6.5% ABV.

It’s actually brewed by 81Bay Brewing in Tampa rather than Norway, but the style works well enough with the pavilion that I’m willing to let that slide.

The taps here rotate pretty regularly, too. If the strawberry cream ale isn’t your thing, you may find a Kornøl farmhouse ale or juniper pilsner instead, usually around $13.

China: Honey Jasmine Lager

We give China’s cocktails plenty of grief, but the beer situation is surprisingly solid.

Honey Jasmine Lager at Lotus Blossom Cafe is $10.50, making it one of the cheaper interesting beers you’ll find around World Showcase. It’s light enough for a hot afternoon but has a little more going on than a standard park lager. It also comes from Orange Blossom Brewing in Orlando. That’s a recurring theme once you start reading the labels, but we’re gonna give Disney some grace because at least the beers they choose usually fit the theme.

You’ll also usually find Lucky Foo Pale Ale for $10.50. That one is brewed in Florida with Simcoe hops and comes in at 6% ABV, so despite the name, there’s nothing particularly Chinese about it.

If you specifically want an import, Tsingtao is usually available for around $11 to $12. It’s the more authentic choice, but it’s not the one I’d personally pick.

Germany: Warsteiner Dunkel

Germany is one of the easiest pavilions to do well if beer is the goal.

I usually go straight for the Warsteiner Dunkel at Sommerfest for $13.25. It looks like it should be heavier than it drinks, it’s a genuine German import, and at 4.8% ABV it’s a pretty easy one to work into a longer crawl.

If you want something lighter, Beck’s Pilsner runs about $11.75. Redbridge is $11.25 and is sorghum-based, making it the dedicated gluten-free beer option we found.

You’ll also see beer carts around the Germany pavilion serving many of the same pours, plus the very EPCOT-famous Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit. If you like your beer light, fruity, and barely beer-adjacent, that one has a loyal following for a reason.

Italy: Peroni Draft

Italy is a little less exciting if you’re strictly sticking to walk-up beer, but you can still make it work.

The easiest stop is Gelateria Toscana, where you can grab a Peroni Draft for about $11 and keep moving. Fair warning, though. Peroni sold in the US has been brewed by Molson Coors since 2024. The Italian part is mostly the name now.

If you’re willing to turn the beer crawl into a pizza break, Via Napoli is where Italy gets much more interesting. They serve Menabrea, from Italy’s oldest operating brewery, for around $14.

And really, stopping for pizza midway through eleven countries of beer is not the worst planning decision you could make.

American Adventure: Cigar City Jai Alai IPA

If craft beer is what you’re after, the American Adventure Pavilion may be the strongest pavilion on the entire loop.

Cigar City Jai Alai IPA is $12.50 at Block & Hans, comes in at 7.5% ABV, and carries a 95 on BeerAdvocate. I’m not even much of an IPA person, and I still think this is one of the easiest beers here to recommend.

If you want something darker, the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale at the same window is $13 and jumps all the way to 8.1% ABV, with lots of vanilla, oak, and bourbon flavor.

The American Adventure is also the one pavilion where a bunch of Florida-brewed beers actually feel completely at home, so this is a good place to wander a little beyond our official pick.

Japan: Kirin Frozen Draft

Next up is the Japan Pavilion, and the frozen foam head is the whole reason to order this.

The Kirin Frozen Draft is $13 at Kabuki Cafe, and it’s basically a standard Kirin topped with whipped frozen beer foam. Is that necessary? Absolutely not. Is it extremely satisfying when you’re walking around EPCOT in the Florida heat? Yes.

Nothing else around World Showcase looks like it, which is why I’d take it over a standard Kirin or Sapporo.

One thing about the Kirin itself. The version sold in the US is brewed under license rather than imported from Japan. Anheuser-Busch once had to refund customers who believed otherwise, and US production moved to New Belgium in 2025.

If you want to go substantially fancier, Takumi-Tei serves a Koshihikari rice beer for about $20, but you’ll need a dining reservation for that one. For a beer crawl, stick with the frozen head.

Morocco: Casa

Morocco is one of the sneakiest good-value beer stops around World Showcase.

At Oasis Sweets & Sips and the walk-up bar at Spice Road Table, the menus may simply say something vague like “Mediterranean Beer.” Ask what they have, because Casa is the one I’d look for.

It’s a genuine Moroccan lager brewed in Casablanca and, more importantly, one of the best opportunities around EPCOT to actually drink a beer from the country represented by the pavilion.

The other beer you may see is 1906 Reserva Especial, a Spanish amber lager from Estrella Galicia with roasted malt and caramel notes and a 6.5% ABV.

Beer here generally runs about $10.25 to $12.75, which makes Morocco one of the less painful stops for your wallet.

France: Kronenbourg 1664

France might be the simplest beer stop on this entire list.

Head inside Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie and grab a Kronenbourg 1664 for $9.95. It’s a crisp French lager, it’s actually from France, and it comes in cheaper than most of the beer you’ll find around World Showcase.

The France Pavilion has plenty of more exciting things to drink if you’re willing to leave beer behind, but if you’re committed to the crawl, Kronenbourg gets the job done without asking $14 for the privilege.

United Kingdom: A Rose & Crown Pub Blend

If Germany is the obvious beer pavilion, the United Kingdom Pavilion is the fun one.

Rose & Crown Pub pours proper 20-ounce imperial pints, and this is the place where I’d stop treating the crawl like a checklist and sit with a beer for a while.

You can absolutely order Guinness, Harp, Smithwick’s, Boddingtons, or one of the other standard taps. But the reason I like Rose & Crown is the pub blends.

Try a Half & Half with Harp and Guinness, a Black Velvet with cider and Guinness, or a Blacksmith with Smithwick’s and Guinness. Most of the blends run around $11.25, which is a pretty good deal considering the size of the pour.

If you only stop for one beer in the UK, make it something you can’t just order from the beer cart outside.

Canada: Moosehead or Molson Canadian

The Canada Pavilion keeps this very uncomplicated, and by this point in the loop, I kind of appreciate that.

There is a little cart/kiosk on the walkway near the Trading Post that has a cooler that stocks Canadian cans and bottles like Labatt Blue, Moosehead, and Molson Canadian, while the nearby popcorn cart usually has Canadian beer on draft.

None of this is chasing craft-beer awards. It’s just cold Canadian beer.

And after ten pavilions of hunting down unusual taps, imports, cream ales, pub blends, and beers with frozen foam on top, a freezing-cold Moosehead feels pretty great.

Five Best Beers at EPCOT

Before you take this as gospel, you should know what I like. Cream ales and dark beers, plus anything blended. If you’re an IPA person, weight this differently.

1. A pub blend at Rose and Crown, $11.25. Black Velvet or Half and Half. Built properly, poured into a real pint.

2. Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale at Block & Hans, $13. Vanilla, oak, 8.1%, and an 84 on BeerAdvocate. It out-darks Germany, which still makes me laugh.

3. Norsk Jordbærkrem at the Norway kiosk, $13.75. Strawberry, smooth, faintly ridiculous. Tampa’s finest Norwegian beer.

4. Cigar City Jai Alai at Block & Hans, $12.50. Not my usual style, but a 95 is a 95 and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.

5. Honey Jasmine Lager at Lotus Blossom Cafe, $10.50. Cheapest of the five, and just light and refreshing and perfect for a hot day.

Which EPCOT Beers Are Strongest?

If you’re drinking your way through several pavilions, ABV starts to matter pretty quickly.

For example, Norway’s strawberry cream ale is 6.5% and China’s Lucky Foo is 6%. Morocco’s 1906 is 6.5% as well.

Block & Hans pours a Jai Alai at 7.5% and a bourbon barrel ale at 8.1%.

Germany’s Warsteiner Dunkel is 4.8%.

The fruity pink one in Norway is stronger than the dark German beer. Whoa boy.

Eat something somewhere along the way, too. Germany and Japan make that particularly easy, and cups of water are free at any quick-service location. Florida in August will take more out of you than the beer will.

And you do not have to finish all eleven. Split pours with someone, or spread the loop over two days. Cast members will refuse service to anyone visibly intoxicated, so don’t plan a challenge around this.

FAQs about Beer at EPCOT

EPCOT Beer Passport

We made this passport to help you keep track of what you had in each pavilion. We gave you a space where you can write in your drink of choice, and then a spot to tally your total beers drank! Save it to your phone, and be sure to tag us on IG if you use it.

So, Is an EPCOT Beer Crawl Worth It?

So, is an EPCOT beer crawl worth it? Yeah, especially if you treat it like a tasting tour instead of a mission to finish eleven beers.

Pick the weird ones, take advantage of festival pours when they’re available, stop for food somewhere in the middle, and save Rose & Crown for when you’ve got time to enjoy the full experience.

Print the passport above so you can track what you drank.
