So many windmills, so little time...

Whenever I hear the word "windmills", all I can think about are those windmill cookies that grandma always had in the cabinet...well, those and Werther caramels

There is only one choice, Yuengling. Bud Light is for "white Trash" that's why they gave it to you in a can (just a joke don't get upset). I wish they had Yuengling Light also though.

25 Years ago Yuengling was PA white trash beer. Now it's a "craft beer" , I don't get it.

It's an image. Guests walking around with generic white plastic cups looks different than guests walking around with beer cans.

The first time I saw this was at EPCOT during the arts festival last year.

It is an image problem. Not my image, I could care less about the bud light in my hand, but Disney should. I used to live in Key West, the drinking in public capitol of the United States. $2 would get you a 16 oz can of bud light, aka a walking beer. Sometimes the line between decent and trashy is very fine, and blurry. There is a reason why you can not get a can of bud light at a decent restaurant. While I enjoy drinking at all the Disney parks, I think people walking around with bud light cans projects a trashy image at Disney. If the container does not matter, would you like to see those neon colored yards of beer, fish bowl cocktails, and margarita in a beach pail?

Yuengling? it's always been a good local beer. Nice dark amber color and a perfect lager taste. I have never tasted better. I'll take that over any craft beer out now days. Iron City was the Pa "cheap" beer.

Careful though I am from Pa.

Now before I get judged to harshly, let's get a few things out in the open. Bud light is my #2 choice of beers. My beer tastes are not much different than when I was a broke college student. I would guess I drink about 2 cases of bud light a month.

I went to buy a beer at Epcot last night, and thought the price of $5.50 was low, and figured I would be getting a smaller than usual cup of draft beer. When I was handed a 12 ounce can of bud light and asked if I wanted a cup, I was stunned. Walking back to my family, all I could think was, how "white trash" walking around Epcot with a can of Bud Light is. Now, some might consider me to be "white trash", and definitely look white trash sometimes. I have no problem with the aluminum bottles, but I just do not think Bud It cans fit in at Epcot, or anywhere other than the resort pool. It seemed to me to be low class, and coming from a white trash alcoholic, that says a lot.

Maybe just maybe you took a wrong turn at the American pavilion and ended up in a bad part of town where drinking from a plastic cup can get you roughed up by some rogue Disney characters?

Alcohol shouldn't be at the parks, period.

There is a percentage---I'm guessing a smaller one--- of those who don't want recreational drugs(excepting caffeine of course since I have yet to see any grassroots significant attempt to ban it) in the parks.

Why does it matter to you, Chef Mickey if guests take drugs or not in the park? It's their body, their money and their decision. If they want to drink it's on them.

There's no advertising value in people carrying plastic cups full of beer. Perhaps WDW's contract with AB/Inbev requires they hand the aluminum bottles over so other people will see what they're drinking...?

I don't believe you can contract directly with a brewery/manufacturer in the state of Florida. I think you must go through a distributor. Additionally, while AB/Ibev has bought up some distributor (not sure if any in Florida) Florida law prohibits the interference of the manufacturer with the distributor.

A craft brewery is defined as a brewery that produces less than 6 million barrel (about 12 million kegs) of beer a year.

Yuengling produced 2.8 million barrels in 2015 (last year I could find data on).

They started giving guests the choice of taking the can when they started serving "craft" cans.

It's an Instagram thing.

That makes sense and would explain the shift to cans.

Oh, yeah, this does sort of make sense. I have to say though, I agree with @beertiki, guests walking around with cans of beer is not a good image. It's not anything to do with the type of beer or being white trash or whatever either. I just think drinking straight from the can while walking around a theme park looks bad. We all know world showcase has an outdoor bar vibe, but it's an upscale outdoor bar.
