My sister is at Epcot this morning and said that at the bag check they are making everyone take everything out of their bags. Is this normal protocol? I don't remember this happening to me on any of my recent trips.

They spelled "Bud Light" incorrectly on the menu. Maybe nobody else will notice.

OMG that's actually sorta embarrassing considering how much alcohol they have listed-you'd think they would spell check. I'm sure I've been to places before though that have had that I'm just never getting Bud Light so I guess I don't pay much attention.

But what I thought was cool is they have a local brewery of ours on there-Boulevard. And looking up the type which was Tropical Pale Ale it makes sense why they chose that over the more popular one of Wheat:

"Inspired by our collaboration with Florida’s famed Cigar City Brewing, Tropical Pale Ale marries our passion for balanced pale ales with the bright refreshing flavors of grapefruit and passion fruit accented by juicy, citrusy hops. Pack your bags and bring your taste buds."

But I must admit from their list they have way too many IPA's and Pale Ales for my liking even under the Rotating list.

Definitely starting to see Boulevard more places. My favorite of theirs is the Tank 7 but probably asking a bit much for that to be on the menu

IPA are what people want so that is what is on the menus but I agree, way too many of them ... at least add some IPLs or Black IPAs or something to mix it up

If security can’t see the bottom of the bag they will ask you to remove items. I always remove any jackets etc. when I open my bag to speed up the process.

I've had Tank 7 a time or two. Even living here we just haven't made it to do a brewery tour (something my husband and I like to do when were visit other places)--his company did a project outing one time there but he wasn't on that project that did the tour.

I've mentioned previously randomly when we get into our alcohol discussions lol is I prefer porters and stouts whereas my husband prefers wheat beers, pilsners ,etc. I like some wheat beer though and Boulevard Wheat is a very easy drinking one. But the one thing my husband and I agree on is no IPAs. I can do Pale Ales (actually when we went to a Chiefs game recently the suite we were in briefly ran out of Boulevard Wheat but they had the Pale Ale left so I had that) just not a lot.

I'm sorta surprised that the one Boulevard they have is on the Rotating list since they chose one (smartly too I'm sure) that pays homage to Florida but I guess it's possible they add more to the list, switch it up over time especially as they get more time under their belt to see what sells and what doesn't.

My big thing with beers is for them to be balanced, so I tend to like East Coast styled IPAs better as they still have some malt, etc to balance the bitterness. And then with Porters and Stouts I do was a bit of IBUs with them so they aren't just one note

Do also like sours and Goses and stuff as well, but even with those like some flavoring so isn't just one note as wlel

I always find it interesting what people like and don't like and why.

I could see my husband and I giving this place a shot rather than swearing it away just would like a bit more variety in the beer department. I think $8-$11 for beer is fairly normal for nicer establishments though I'd probably aim more for wanting to spend $7-$10. I probably wouldn't be getting too many beers at the current prices nor on the hard alcohol menu page but I could see have some drinks and enjoying the atmosphere--just would be sorta a splurge at that point for us.

The reviews I read of opening night indicated the felt like this was definitely going to be a "special occasion" type place ... guess we shall see when it is fully open for a bit

as for the prices, I actually thought $8 for some of the beers on there isn't bad for being at Disney, just seems crazy to pay the same for a Bud Light as the other options
 
Seeing on socia media that the parks are slammed today. Just looked up wait times, yea, they’re high. 180 min for space mountain.

@Mackenzie Click-Mickelson I’ve done two vacations to KC and had Boulevard there too. Excellent stuff on they are brewing. Took some home.

@TheMaxRebo & @Mackenzie Click-Mickelson I hope they’ll rotate more, agreed beer list is too similar. With how the drink menu looks, I would expect to see more meade & aperitif as they are really trendy right now.

Side note for beer drinkers here, my best friend is a brewer. He just left brewing for Lagunitas for a brewmaster job at Three Floyd’s. Yes. I always ask him what to drink anywhere I go. He’s also a huge Disney fan.
