EPCOT Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue replacing Liberty Inn

["El Gran Magnifico"]

As a brisket fan, I'm hoping this will be 80% as good a Polite Pig. Not expecting on par with or better, just decent will suffice. Anything above that will exceed my expectations.

Curious as to the decision on not having Pulled Pork. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact Pulled Pork is a mainstay for a few months out of the year at Flower and Garden at the kiosk and they don't want to impact that?

Shame about the beer selections. Is there anywhere else nearby where one can get beer in Epcot?

“Craft Drafts” is in the name. Bit weird to only offer 3 beers on the menu. Don’t ya think?

Bit of a misnomer from the marketing department actually.

The “Craft Drafts” phrase actually refers to the artisan air conditioning that’s being installed.

I don't drink alcohol. And none of the festival booths serve soft drinks. Welcome to my personal hell!!!

Love a good artisanal breeze. Not too cold though.

Me neither. I’m always sad when I see the fancy special Joffrey’s drinks at Epcot and it sounds great until I see the booze.

I don't like beer, but people who do, would expect a larger selection.

I stick with the free iced water.

Thankfully, it’s World Showcase. It won’t be a long walk/shuffle/stumble. Those of us looking for edible food have to search harder.

The Polite Pig brisket is so much better than I would have ever expected it to be in my wildest dreams. It's not the best brisket I've ever eaten or anything like that, but for a counter service place in Disney Springs? Exceptional.

As for the pulled pork -- it essentially IS on the menu. I know it says NC chopped pork butt, but there's very little difference between that and pulled pork. It's the same meat/preparation as NC pulled pork; it's just chopped up into finer pieces. It's basically the same as sliced brisket vs. chopped brisket. All the same meat just handed to you in a different way.

Can't you order those boozeless?

the general public isn't part of the "more muppets is always good" crowd...

lol.

That not-quite-an-actual-show is a thing I won't be watching, so you can all rest easy. Especially since I don't have Disney+ anyway, nor do I want it.

Nor does anyone care.

Yes, I have ordered a bunch of their specialty drinks without alcohol before!

They have a pulled pork sandwich at the Electric Umbrella. They are beating down the bathroom doors to get in because of it.

Most QS Disney food is on par or slightly one step above prison food.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

Agreed on the menu. For what/where it is, I'm pretty happy with the offerings. It's a nice cross section of American BBQ (again, for what it is).

The beer list is an absolute joke for a "craft beer" place, even for Disney. Even Block & Hans has more, and it's not a really great list. Heck, Dockside Margaritas in Disney Springs has more if memory serves!

Did they charge less for the virgin version?
