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

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

Did they charge less for the virgin version?

Yes they did

 

[Andrew C]

Good god, those prices....

...are not horrible for BBQ....

I expected worse.

Nah. Not bad if the food is decent. Me and The Wife could probably split the half chicken for a light meal. We don’t drink alcohol, so I’m getting out of there pretty cheap.

It’ll depend on the serving sizes, and meat/cook quality, but these prices are surprisingly in-line with real world BBQ places.

Now, this all changes if this is microwaved carp.

Looking at the new logo, it looks like they have removed the "Craft Drafts and Barbecue" tagline.

 

[DisneyJeff]

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!

Maybe (and I'm just grasping at paper straws here...), the 4 beers listed are their permanent beers and they will have 3 or 4 rotating taps in addition.

Problem solved. Got some real forward thinkers over there at TDO.

 

[DisneyFreak]

$5 coleslaw?!?

Well they spelled "Barbeque" wrong anyway. Only stuck up city slickers spell it with a "c". I mean, how do you get "BBQ" from barbecue.

$5 bread?!? lol

 

[ThatMouse]

I'm disappointed no pulled pork, so for me there is nothing new here, just another burger and fries place.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Menu looks good...I hope the quality is there

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Im actually pretty amazed at some of the beer that WDW has...Considering the Coke sponsorship, Im really amazed AB or Miller-Coors hasn't bought the exclusive beer rights for the parks. Last time I was there, Cigar City, Tampa Bay Brewing, MIA and a few from other states.

Nah...they don’t want the InBev market anymore...I would expect more “microbrews” as long as they’re popular

 

[WondersOfLife]

Yet you cared enough to comment. Thanks for playing!

Jokes on you. I have nothing better to do with my time. Which you obviously don’t either. So looky there.

 

[Jon81uk]

Beer Menu is a joke. Calling it Craft Drafts is laughable. 3 beers and 1 Cider. Sam, Angry Orchard, Jai Alai, Bells Obero

It may be that there is a separate draft beer bar that has a separate menu and these are just the ones stocked behind the QS counter.

I expect the chopped pork will taste pretty much the same as pulled pork.

 

[John park hopper]

Here in coastal SC pulled pork is the standard over chopped pork with a mustard based sauce rather than ketchup based and that is what I prefer. I would not say one is better than the other it's really what you have grown up with. I will hold judgement on Regal Eagle until I have tried it.

Even with their reduction in sales, AB and Miller still account for about 75-80% of American Beer sales. Even with the micro boom, they are nowhere close to being a universal choice. You do have some major regional players, though, that can definitely take a chunk in specific markets, though...New Glarus in Wisconsin and Cigar City in Florida are approaching major player status and there is a second tier of "macro" that includes Pabst, Yuengling, Sam Adams/Dogfishhead, etc...

The macros only look bad because they pretty much used to have the entire market, now they only have an overwhelming amount of the market.

I understand...

Big fan of brew docus and print articles...

But Disney has marched on a systematic policy to charge 20% over market value - compounded - day by day if they can get away with it on ALL products.

King of beers isn’t for that “market”

“Micros” are...

Stop being so reasonable. This is the internet!
