Can anyone tell me if the good people of Orlando provide a beverage like bitter? I love love love Tetley draught bitter, Boddington's if I'm forced. As the only driver last time (Dan has since passed his test) I did not partake of a drink, although Dan bought a rather lovely single malt Jack Daniels. Anyway my drink of choice is bitter does anywhere sell anything like it? Perhaps my best chance being the Rose and Crown?:tounge:

Sorry we only drink Bud, but if you go into Walmart they will have thousands or when you are in disney just ask.

At a premium for "import" I'd guess. $7+ at the Rose & Crown I think.

My Dad loves his Ale, and found Michelob AmberBock, i'm pretty sure it was sold in most pubs/restaurants!

Yes - try anything that has the work "bock" in it or Samuel Adams boston beer (try some in the supermarkets here before you go!).

Hi,

Try this website: http://www.pubcrawler.com/Template/SearchWC.cfm

Big River Grille seems to get some fairly good reviews about the beer if you want to stay in the Disney area.

However, if you are staying offsite, then I guess that the above site may provide some inspiration :cool2:

I like my beer and though I tend to drink the american lite beers over there, I do enjoy the AmberBock and The Samuel Adams.

Samuel Adams has a great kick to it as well! Even managed to persuade my sister to sell it in her pub!

I think the nearest I've had to bitter was Samuel Adams, Very nice and free in Boston when the Red sox won the World Series:thumb:

am I right in thinking you can get Samuel Adams here then?

Yes you can get Sam Adams here.

Used to be able to get in Safeway before Morrisons took them over.

Now the only place I have recently seen it is in TGI Fridays in the UK.

By the way, I am sure the Cricketers on I drive does Tetleys and Fullers etc. They are moving in May to Festival Bay mall. "The Pub" on I 27 does ales too I think.
