Beer Eradicated from Disney Park, No Notice Available to Guests

Fans of Rose & Crown Pub in EPCOT’s United Kingdom Pavilion may be in for a surprise on their next visit. The popular watering hole has temporarily halted all draft beer and cider service, leaving guests to rely on canned and bottled alternatives while the pub undergoes behind-the-scenes upgrades.

Why Can’t You Get a Draft Beer at Rose & Crown?

According to Cast Members, the entire draft system is being rebuilt over the next little while, which is a process that is expected to take about 10 weeks. While Disney reportedly considered closing the pub for the duration of the refurbishment, the decision was ultimately made to keep it open and serve packaged beverages instead.

As of now, no official signage has been placed to alert guests to the change, but Cast Members are informing visitors at the bar.

What Can You Order Instead?

Although draft beer and cider are unavailable, guests can still enjoy a selection of canned and bottled British beverages, as well as the pub’s signature cocktails, whiskey flights, and wine.

If you’re set on getting a draft pour, there’s some good news—the United Kingdom Pavilion’s new outdoor bar kiosk, which was recently installed, is still offering select draft beers while the main pub undergoes its upgrades.

Other Places to Find Draft Beer in EPCOT

While Rose & Crown sorts out its new keg system, there are plenty of other spots in EPCOT to grab a draft beer. Here are a few options:

• Biergarten (Germany Pavilion) – This lively beer hall serves up authentic German drafts like Warsteiner Dunkel and Schöfferhofer Grapefruit.

• Regal Eagle Smokehouse (American Adventure Pavilion) – A great place for craft beers on tap, including seasonal selections.

• Block & Hans (American Adventure Pavilion) – A kiosk dedicated to American craft beers, with rotating options.

• La Cava del Tequila (Mexico Pavilion) – While better known for its margaritas, you can sometimes find Mexican beers on draft here.

• Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie (France Pavilion) – If you’re craving a Kronenbourg 1664, this is the place to go.

A Temporary Change with a Big Payoff

While Rose & Crown’s draft beer hiatus is a disappointment for those who love a freshly poured pint, the new keg system should help improve service in the long run. Until then, guests can still grab canned and bottled beverages at the pub—or find a draft beer at another EPCOT location.
