A Pint Half Full

Note: This is part 6 in a series documenting the countries of Epcot Center and the beers they serve.

Next stop on our trip around the world was my personal favorite country, the United States of America.  The moment I walked into the town square, I felt a sense of national pride.  With a brick walkway and red,white and blue flags draped everywhere, America at Epcot is designed to mimic Independence Hall in Philadelphia.  There is a large "town square" where you can watch a drum and fife corps perform some of America's "greatest hits" - songs you don't know the name of but have heard when you learned about the revolutionary war in 6th grade.

No trip to America would be complete without junk food and beer.

Enter funnel cake and Sam Adams Boston Lager (they also had Bud Light or something but you all know how I feel about that stuff).  The funnel cake was made fresh at the stand and tasted like the greatest funnel cake ever (I'm 6 beers into the tour).  The large draft Sam Adams was cold, refreshing and delivered its usual floral-hop, malty goodness.


I have to plug the resident acapella group in America, the Voices Of Liberty.  Their songs got me a little choked up with their renditions of God Bless America.  All their singers are phenomenal and they blend very well sounding like one voice.  If you are there visiting, definitely catch their show.  I regret not getting their CD.  USA!  USA!  SHRIMP FRIED RICE!
