At the Rose and Crown Pub (and Restaurant) in Epcot’s World Showcase you can order special “Pub Blends” off draft. While you may already be familiar with the Golden, Black & Tan, Half & Half, and even the Shandy, there are probably several that you haven’t heard of. There is nothing quite like a freshly poured brew.
Check and see how many you know out of the list below:
Golden – Half Harp and Half Bass Ale
Golden Fox – Half Boddingtons and Half Bass Ale
Half & Half – Half Bass Ale and Half Guinness
Black & Tan – Half Bass Ale and Half Guinness
Cider & Black – Cider with a shot of Black Currant Juice
Bumblebee – Half Boddingtons and Half Guinness
Shandy – Half Sprite and Half Harp Lager
Snake Bite – Half Cider and Half Harp
Blacksmith – Half Smithwick’s and Half Guinness
Black Velvet – Half Cider and Half Guinness
Don’t feel bad if you haven’t heard of many of them. Now that you know about these, maybe you will be more likely to try a few next time you visit Epcot.
Specialty Drinks
If draft beer isn’t your thing, then perhaps you could choose from a few specialty drinks that have some great names as well.
Cider and Fireball
Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
and Strongbow Cider topped with Ginger Ale
Welsh Dragon
Peach Schnapps, Melon Liqueur, Crème de Menthe, Orange Juice, and Pineapple Juice
Leaping Leprechaun
Jameson Irish Whiskey, DonQ Cristal Rum, Skyy Vodka, Melon Liqueur, and Sweet-and-Sour topped with Sprite
I think I’d like to try all three, my only concern is how does crème de menthe work in the Welsh Dragon, I’m always a bit hesitant when it comes to crème de menthe because of its distinct and powerful flavor. If I chicken out, I can always go for the Leaping Leprechaun.
