Craft Beers – Day 1 of Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival 2016

Episode 401 – October 1, 2016

Today we are at Craft Beers. Since I’m not really a beer drinker, I brought in some experts to help me out. Amanda Tinney and my wife Leslie stopped by to tell you all about the beers and the great food they have at this market place in the Odyssey at Epcot.

This was the marketplace we begin with for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival this year. The Odyssey is a great location to house marketplace. First, it’s an inside location, a large building that’s nicely air conditioned, has lots of space for some bench seating in certain sections, high top tables, some relaxing low lighting, and did I mention air conditioning? This is a great marketplace to take a break in, enjoy a beer or some piggy wings while you cool off and recharge from the Florida sun and crowds of the festival.
