A standard of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is the Germany booth. With hearty, traditional dishes and plenty of beer to go around, this booth is always a must do.
We love the flavors of this dish but it’s very, very heavy. It would be the perfect dish to warm up with in the fall when it finally cools off a bit. It’s pasta gratin with ham, onions, and cheese. Everything fits together nicely and layered like casserole. It may be a bit greasy but it’s flavor and large portion size for sharing makes it worth it.
It’s a safe bet, it’s good for everyone. The actual brat is nothing crazy, but it’s well done. It’s a standard pretzel bun with a standard mustard dipping sauce.
While not particularly exciting, this dessert has become a staple at the Food & Wine Festival. The crispy and flaky exterior holds in large chunks of well-cooked apple and cinnamon with a plentiful side of vanilla sauce. Recommended, especially at the price.
Drizly‘s review of this beer reads: “Gaffel Kölsch has a slight hoppy bitterness, which distinguishes this beer from all other Kölsch varieties. Gaffel still produces it based on a traditional family recipe, and the company continues to follow the German Purity Law of 1516, using only simple ingredients like hops, malt and hops extract. The distinctive flavor derives from a particular type of ale yeast, which ages in cold cellars. This Gaffel beer has pleasant fruit notes, a crisp finish and a pale color.”
From Weihenstephan: “Delicate aromatic notes are not only perceptible in the aroma but also in the flavor. Mild and drinkable with a light, fine, rounded hop flavor on the palate, this Premium is a golden straw color and represents the best of Old Bavaria’s native beverage of choice.”
A light, easy-drinking German lager. It’s a good everyday drinking beer, it’s about as standard of a lager that you’ll find.
From Schöfferhofer: “Schöfferhofer Juicy Pineapple is the unique combination of sparkling smooth Schöfferhofer unfiltered Hefeweizen beer with natural pineapple drink. The refreshing blend is the perfect balance of tropical sweet & tart.”
From Selbach-Oster: “Peach, apricot, apple, as well as citrus fruit and herbs are typical features of the aroma of our young and dry wines. Our delicately and subtly sweet wines show nuances of quince and tropical fruit, and the ripest of them will display honeyed and raisined flavors, often backed by a touch of salty minerality, and always balanced by crunchy acidity.”
The Germany Marketplace is conveniently located adjacent to the Germany Pavilion on World Showcase Promenade. You can find it at number 16 on the map below.
The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is running from July 14th to November 19th, 2022, which gives you plenty of time to try all of the traditional fare this booth has to offer.
