Yes There is a Brewery on Disney Property

Standard

I was quite surprised by this one and a bit dismayed because it seemed to signal that the craft beer craze has not only gone mainstream, but has gone to the dark side of mega corporations.  Big River Grill and Brewing Works has a location on the Disney Boardwalk.  

I haven’t been to any of their other locations but this one seemed particularly small. I would definitely recommend reservations during the busy season.  We went during summer so this was not a problem.  The atmosphere is actually nice, but a bit cheesy, as it sits right on the fake boardwalk which has a old, Eastern seaboard beach feel.  They have some outdoor seats which provide a nice view of the fake lake on which the boardwalk sits and allows for people watching.  There are several other restaurants and shops around the boardwalk but the area is smaller than many of the other Disney properties.  

The beers here were by no means extraordinary but quite average.  I would not suggest making a stop here just to try out this brewery. Some of their other locations in major cities might be a better representation of the chain.  However, if you do find yourself at Disney Boardwalk among the hordes of tourists, I would stop by for a beer.  After all, you might need one if you find yourself there during the busy season.
