I would love to see a look at some of the beers sold locally at the parks or nearby. Maybe form a thread/ discussion for people willing to trade as well. Just an idea...
Yeah, "someone". <wink>I know they have done some "drinking around the world" podcast episodes which feature a lot of beer in World Showcase and they have done episodes when something new opens (like Baseline Tap House)
I do recall a thread not to long ago where someone asked Craig about what Breweries to visit in Florida:

Oh - sorry - read this quickly, and somehow thought it was during the show when they read your suggestion on where to visit. And - in both/either cases, I was/am SO proud to know you! I seriously "fan-girled" just a bit.hey, I didn't start the thread ... I did contribute some thoughts though
Frankly, the parks and resorts don’t have an extensive beer list. It’s mostly Bud, Bud Light - that sort of thing. It’s gotten better in recent years, but the most “crafty” would be something like Jai-Ali by Cigar City which you’ll find in many places. It’s like their house craft beer now.
I know a lot of folks will object to this - noting the new “craft” beer place in DHS as well as all the beers in World Showcase, etc. But real beer enthusiasts know these are hardly far-reaching discoveries but rather pretty common offerings from places like Lagunitis, Stone, etc. breweries.
In fairness, Disney has to deal with high volume and as such, it’s hard to find breweries that can supply the kind of volume they need. So I think they’ve done a great job just getting to the point they’re at now. At least you can find something besides Yuengling if you look hard enough.
My point is that there’s not much to talk about in terms of a podcast.
I suppose one could do an adventure-like podcast talking less about the beer and more about the silly antics of a crew getting slowly inebriated. I might be highly entertained by that, but probably not the kind of thing the Dis wants to be associated with. Especially since one of the founding members is a recovering alcoholic.
