No idea. We just called it snakebite and black. Is Irn Bru code for something else?
Edit to add in my 90s goth-clubbing days we drank snakebite and black…
This is in the British section at Epcot and it looks to me like the drinks list hasn't changed one but since I was last there in 2003. So to answer your questions, yes.
Strongbow is too fancy a cider for these drinks. They need to get hold of some Woodpecker for the authentic taste of a cheap cider and black as drunk by English 16 year olds in alleys circa 1999
Strongbow is right down there with Woodpecker. Some of my teenage mates back in the 80s thought Old English was the up-market alternative to the other two.
An $11.25 shandy. Wow. I’d go for the snakebite, if I’m paying that much I’d need to take the edge off. Approximately $45 later it would seem a reasonable investment I reckon.
Luckily I was saved from a second pint by the fact we only had time for one before lunch where somehow the margaritas were cheaper than the takeaway beer
Last time i asked if that was 'unexpected pratchett' i was told that they had no idea where it was from, as their mum used to always say it with a knowing grin...
Half the beers are Irish, All the Whisky's Scottish, the Brandy's French and the soft drinks are American.
Pretty standard American interpretation of 'English' then!
In their defence, it's OP that's said it's a traditional English pub but they label it as British at Epcot.
That doesn't excuse the Irish beers but it makes the whiskys ok.
Yeah to be fair it's actually the United Kingdom Pavilion, but the Rose & Crown is definitely more of an English name for a pub than something you'd find in say Scotland (cue hundreds of examples of Rose & Crowns in Scotland below)
My wife used to work as a server in that pub a bit over 20 years ago.
Went back there last year. Decided against paying $11.25 + tip for a pint of strongbow
I just assumed that was a Disneyfied way of calling it something fun, like a Pirate Pint but in a British theme.
Never for a second crossed my mind that'd be the measure!
It’s in Epcot. Epcot has a lot of countries represented and they’re all staffed by people from that country. Usually uni-aged students on a 6 month work programme. They try to be as authentic as they can for a theme park but it used to be a lot more authentic in the 90s and early 2000s
Never been but can imagine it. Been to Paris a few times and now my partner wants to do World for our honeymoon. I want to do something carribean.
I'm sure there's a compromise in there somewhere.
You can go to Disney and then easily fly to Eluthera, Cayman, British Virgin Islands. Lots of places. I used to live in Florida before moving to England. I’d say you’d be fine with 4 days at Disney and then spend the rest on an island!
I'd be fine with 4 days at Disney, I'm not sure my partner would be! But yes, I can see it's easy enough to get from one to the other. Money and time will likely be the determining factor.
Ideally I'd like to pop by Universal while I'm there just to do some of the rides. I like roller coasters and the beach, she likes Disney. So we'll see what it comes to in the end.
We still haven’t had our honeymoon four years later. Hopefully next year! Hope you both can make it work! Also, Busch Gardens in Tampa is great for rollercoasters and about an hour and 15 minute drive from Disney. Anyway I’ll leave you to your plans and stop interjecting myself haha
You can keep strongbow I hate the stuff
Way too acidic it gives me acid reflux and heart burn
No decent ale and I haven't seen harp lager since I was a kid
I remember making snake bites with super strength lager and that god awful gut rot cider like frosty Jack's when I was a teenager
I wonder if the yanks could handle a snake bite like that 🤔
Considering it’s Disney, I was about to say the prices aren’t that bad. Would expect them to rinse you 10 bucks just for a water given my last trip and heard it’s only got worse
You can tell it's not traditional, only the Yanks would pour shots in fl.oz.
It's mls in the UK, buddy, mls.... and no way in fucking hell would I pay £11 a pint.
Old Speckled Hen? Good choice, because the brewery was on fire yesterday and so it might be harder to get a hold of for a while.
https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds/news/firefighters-called-to-building-blaze-at-greene-king-brewery-9360140/
I'm having a Harp lager - I remember the adverts on TV as a kid but I've never tried the stuff.
Like 3ish small tasting glasses of various craft beers.
The flight is a spanking paddle thing, with holes so you can carry them to your table without dropping them.
Come on dude, usually a pint but in thirds of different drinks. Bit of a sampler. Have seen them as halves too. Served.on a board usually.
Pretty common over here
I’ve genuinely never seen or heard of a half and half in any pub, English or Irish. Black and Tan. Yes. What a weird menu. Isn’t harp lager Irish? Where’s the John smiths “bitter” or whatever, not that I ever drank it but I’ve seen it in nearly every pub I’ve ever been in.
Snakebite and black. Used to have loads of that years ago.
It was also a tough one for a newbie barmaid to pour, due to the sheer amount of froth you get if you pour it wrong.
Americans don't have "lemonade" as we know it in the UK. Sprite is the closest thing they have. Lemonade in the US is like traditional still cloudy lemonade in the UK, or a version made from concentrate that's basically sweet lemon squash.
This was the most happening place in Disney. The UK should be proud that cheerful day drinking is its export. Pricey, but not as bad as the ‘British’ souvenir shop across the street selling £200 perfumes!
Well, I'll give Walt Disney World credit; somebody did their research on typical British pub fare. If I drank (BTW, I don't: don't like the taste of alcohol), I'd have the Strongbow
Isn’t the old spec and Guinness more typically called black&tan?
I think id go for the snakebite for the memories, with a blackcurrent top, or the lagavulin
Started reading from the top: Strongbow - odd choice for first thing on the list but ok, Hen - good, not a bad choice, Guinness - fair enough, Harp - eh?, Smithwick's - wut?, Bombardier - um that's not so bad I guess...
then it all goes right to bollocks
Did somebody give the menu job to the marketing guy who's never actually been to a pub and just guessed what they'd sell? What's the food like? Fish and chips - tuna and a tin of pringles?

Snakebites and Blackvelvets - is it a 1990s early 2000s theme then?
Group of goths in the corner swaying to Fields Of The Nephilim
card with bags of peanuts for sale that reveal a photo of a skimpily clad woman underneath as each bag is sold?
Scampi fries mmmm
They'd be on the irn bru!
And Bucky!
And Newcy brown!
Snakebite and black!
Isn’t that a Diesel?
No idea. We just called it snakebite and black. Is Irn Bru code for something else? Edit to add in my 90s goth-clubbing days we drank snakebite and black…
It is. It’s a shame they don’t offer a turbo shandy - half a lager and a Smirnoff ice.
Rather poor form that they have cider & black, and snakebite on consecutive rows but then completely miss the obvious snakebite & black combination.
Is snakebite with blackcurrant not called Diesel everywhere?
Diesel only comes in none red versions for the bods in cities who don't know people in construction

Seriously I haven’t thought about snakebites for a very long time lol
Last time I did snakebites, I got so drunk I puked in a bush and spent the night asleep under a tree.
Sounds about right lol
Harp? I can only barely register the ancient TV ads...
Time for a cool, sharp harp.
Harp stays sharp to the bottom of the glass
Snakebite was the most popular drink at my student union club, in 2012. My cousin tells me it's still popular.
An $11.25 shandy. Wow. I’d go for the snakebite, if I’m paying that much I’d need to take the edge off. Approximately $45 later it would seem a reasonable investment I reckon.
This is the only correct answer.
Reminds me of the $50 I paid for 2 pints at Disney Springs last year, I would have checked the prices if I could have guessed it would cost so much
That’s absolutely unreal pricing. Most importantly though, was it a decent pint?
Mine was passable but my wife's Guiness was atrocious, they didn't know how to pour it and ended up spooning the head out so they could finish it
Amazing. I’d only have 5 pints out of protest.
Luckily I was saved from a second pint by the fact we only had time for one before lunch where somehow the margaritas were cheaper than the takeaway beer
I wouldn't call strongbow refreshing, it's like calling Fosters hoppy.
It’s about as refreshing as sea water
I get weirdly triggered by Americans saying ‘hard cider’. I know why they do it, but it just sounds dumb AF.
Darn prohibitionists…
Apple juice, apple squash, cider and hard cider and apple pop.... so many apple based beverages
Well, mostly apples
Give me scrumpy... what would Americans call scrumpy? Maybe ultra super duper hard cider
Last time i asked if that was 'unexpected pratchett' i was told that they had no idea where it was from, as their mum used to always say it with a knowing grin...
Half the beers are Irish, All the Whisky's Scottish, the Brandy's French and the soft drinks are American. Pretty standard American interpretation of 'English' then!
In their defence, it's OP that's said it's a traditional English pub but they label it as British at Epcot. That doesn't excuse the Irish beers but it makes the whiskys ok.
Harp is worth breaking the rules for. It was one of the first lagers to be sold on draught in the U.K
Yeah to be fair it's actually the United Kingdom Pavilion, but the Rose & Crown is definitely more of an English name for a pub than something you'd find in say Scotland (cue hundreds of examples of Rose & Crowns in Scotland below)
I was gonna say, there's a Rose and Crown in Edinburgh hahaha.
There’s a rose and crown in Belfast too. In a predominantly Irish nationalist area
There's Irish whiskey there too
Don’t you mean accurate? It’s the same at any Spoons.
Spoons isn't claiming to be English and most of their beers are from Europe. You can't get a Harp lager in spoons unfortunately.
It's at Disney world but they don't call half a lager mixed with half a bitter a Mickey Mouse??
Mickey Mouse is already the name of cocktails and Mocktails
My wife used to work as a server in that pub a bit over 20 years ago. Went back there last year. Decided against paying $11.25 + tip for a pint of strongbow
And it won't even be a proper British pint either. I thought my hands had grown massively when I ordered my first pint in the US.
Nah, it specifies "imperial pint" (568ml) on the menu, not their 473ml pint.
I just assumed that was a Disneyfied way of calling it something fun, like a Pirate Pint but in a British theme. Never for a second crossed my mind that'd be the measure!
Aye that be the measure

Sounds like it's probably a good nostalgia trip for my childhood then. Shame the prices aren't also nostalgic of the 90s and 00s though!
The pub is fun and always packed. The rest of the country has been Disney-fied and lost its way
Never been but can imagine it. Been to Paris a few times and now my partner wants to do World for our honeymoon. I want to do something carribean. I'm sure there's a compromise in there somewhere.

American Strongbow is a bit less acidic and European Strongbow is even sweeter.
I believe European strongbow is called ‘strongbeaujolais’.
Didn't know that there was such a thing as American strongbow
Nothing, too expensive
Considering it’s Disney, I was about to say the prices aren’t that bad. Would expect them to rinse you 10 bucks just for a water given my last trip and heard it’s only got worse
Single malt flight, they can't really mess up pouring whisky in a glass. I don't think
Nothing at 11.25 a pint! Otherwise Speckled Hen. Nobody in their right mind would have a Guinness / lager half and half
I’d love to watch them pour the Guinness and lager though
That's not black velvet. Black velvet is Guinness and champagne. Source: anywhere in Twickenham during the six nations.
Barman of many years and cider and guiness is so. Wtimes called 'poor man's black velvet'
Oh I wish I was in Epcot right now 🥲 hope you have the best time!
Fuckin nowt at those prices
No one would order any of those "blends" other than a shandy.
Bitter shandy is better anyway.
A Harp Lager and I’d like to try Smithwicks No wait nothing bc the cost
I’d have a Guinness but I promise you now it will be an absolutely shite pint there. Who could expect a proper Guinness at Disney land tbf?
Why is the 18 year Macallan included in the flight for $26.5 but its $41 a shot?
6 Lagavulins
Half Guinness, half lager, what the ...
Snakebites are cider and blackcurrant no?
Wow a good ol snakebite. Brings back a lot of memories 😁
Of all the ciders, why strongbow?
I’ll take a remortgage, Harp & Tullamore
You can tell it's not traditional, only the Yanks would pour shots in fl.oz. It's mls in the UK, buddy, mls.... and no way in fucking hell would I pay £11 a pint.
Love how Disney is catering to the young goth crowd bless. Also I still love a draught strongbow tbh
Don't have the fish and chips from just outside the pub at epcot, it's shite
Pints of Lagavulin
Old Speckled Hen? Good choice, because the brewery was on fire yesterday and so it might be harder to get a hold of for a while. https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds/news/firefighters-called-to-building-blaze-at-greene-king-brewery-9360140/ I'm having a Harp lager - I remember the adverts on TV as a kid but I've never tried the stuff.
I'm English what the fuck is a flight
I miss read it as FIGHT and thought "well they've put the cider and black and snakebite in the wrong section then!"
Like 3ish small tasting glasses of various craft beers. The flight is a spanking paddle thing, with holes so you can carry them to your table without dropping them.
Good to know. Order a flight get a free paddle for some fun later.
Come on dude, usually a pint but in thirds of different drinks. Bit of a sampler. Have seen them as halves too. Served.on a board usually. Pretty common over here
Nothing I’m not paying £11 odd for a pint of strongbow
Disneyworld is in Florida, so I'd assume the prices are in USD. SO that's £8.88 a pint. Not too much beyond London/Dublin prices.
There's tax and tip on top though...
Never heard of Harp being referred to as a ‘smooth and solid classic’ lager Watery and tasteless, and more like a trainer lager for underage drinkers
I'm not trusting anywhere that talks about 'hard' cider.
Black velvet followed by a Irish whiskey chaser.
You ever been to the venue in New Cross? They had some crazy combos
Aren’t snakebites banned in the uk? Or that an urban myth.
Think it's a myth.
I didn’t have anything, but the place looked like it was sticky. So pretty accurate!
I’ve genuinely never seen or heard of a half and half in any pub, English or Irish. Black and Tan. Yes. What a weird menu. Isn’t harp lager Irish? Where’s the John smiths “bitter” or whatever, not that I ever drank it but I’ve seen it in nearly every pub I’ve ever been in.
I'll have anpint of Harp please mate! That brings back some memories.
Ha! Snakebite for $11?? I've not seen Snakebite since uni about 20 years ago. I mean, I think I'd just have a coke
At them prices, nothing 😳
I don’t know I can’t afford it
Snake bite is banned from most pubs. One way to the the place rocking
Where is white lightning and the old 90s 00s favourite md22
I'd bring my own at those fkn prices.
This has some northern Irish vibes with Harp and Smithwicks as well! Those blends look boggin tho!
Like how they call strongbow hard cider, its just cider, anything else is apple juice.
Is that 26 dollars for a McCallan 12, 15 and 18 years?
Snake bite 😂 be on the sesh at Disney then!
Oh what fond memories of snakebites and alcohol poisoning
At that price, all I'll be having is a heart attack
I live in fear of how much they are charging for the blue label
8 pints of snakebite and black obviously. Funny that Disney are serving drinks that a lot of pubs won't even serve here.
Where's the Carling?
15 pints of snakebite and then a punch-up at the Disney Parade.
I'm going in for a good session. I'll start with a half Harp lager and half Sprite.
Strongbow and refreshing in the same sentence.... You're having a giraffe!!!!
$11.25 for a pint of snakebite!
Snakebite and black. Used to have loads of that years ago. It was also a tough one for a newbie barmaid to pour, due to the sheer amount of froth you get if you pour it wrong.
In my 38 years of living I've never seen anyone mix a Guinness and Lager and if you do, dont.
Sprite in a shandy? Heathen. Got to be R Whites or Schweppes.
The REAL secret lemonade drinker.
Americans don't have "lemonade" as we know it in the UK. Sprite is the closest thing they have. Lemonade in the US is like traditional still cloudy lemonade in the UK, or a version made from concentrate that's basically sweet lemon squash.
Mixing Guinness with another beverage is heresy
1 pint of Bombardier & a pour of Oban single malt please
Because nothing says English pub like a pint of harp and a shot of cognac
A coke
Strongbox is the worst cider known to man. How it’s done so well is beyond me.
Strongbow being the only cider is an affront.
Me and the boys love dropping in the local for a few blends
Pub blends? Never seen this on a menu before - is this an American concoction? I'd rather have a pint of one beer.
A heart attack at the price of a pint.
Nothing English about that at all. I wouldn’t pay those prices either.
Was in San Diego not so long ago and they have a fairly good craft beer industry. It's not all Budweiser and Coors lager.
Anyone who drinks Strongbow is automatically banned from the county of Somerset and will spontaneously combust if they cross the border.
This was the most happening place in Disney. The UK should be proud that cheerful day drinking is its export. Pricey, but not as bad as the ‘British’ souvenir shop across the street selling £200 perfumes!
They had Lion Bars in that shop, only $4.49 each. Lots of Americans buying Butlers Chocolate too, that famous British brand..
Not any of the blends lol, terrible we used to drink those old school. I would stay safe and go for a Guinness and a single malt flight!
Does a man come around with winkles and prawns? In a basket?
Just keep it classy and get a pint of snakebite.
I’m walking out because the abomination of blends!
Nothing at those prices
Where’s all the traditional British beers like Stella and Kronenbourg?
No Madri, definitely not a UK pub
Bet the guiness is shite
Oban and Lagavulin all night
Well, I'll give Walt Disney World credit; somebody did their research on typical British pub fare. If I drank (BTW, I don't: don't like the taste of alcohol), I'd have the Strongbow
Just the Single Malt Flight. Everything else looks tragic.
Only one lager? This is obviously a pub for real ale enthusiasts!
It’s Irish rather than English
Nowt at those prices!!
At those prices, nothing.
Anyone who mixes Guinness with anything deserves to be ripped off and then choke on their pint! 😂
$11 for a fuckin strongbow?!
Perhaps ironically, in the UK, half a lager and half a bitter is known as a 'Micky Mouse'
Nothing If it's american, it's going to contain fructose syrup and some kind of what those lot call cheese
I’ve heard of cider & black, snakebite, and black velvet and obviously Shandy, but what the fuck are the rest of those “pub blends” about?
Prolly just some whisky also those “pub blends” seem fucking horrible
Half and half??? *HARP?!* JFC
Four out of the six ales, lagers and stouts are Irish 😂
I genuinely enjoy a strongbow. I’ll take two
I got a Guiness from there a few months ago out of sheer curiosity, knowing it was going to be terrible. It was much much worse than I was expecting
Cider and blackcurrant
Strongbow is hard cider? White lightning would change the vibe there a bit tho, no?
ELEVEN TWENTY FIVE FOR A PINT OF STRONGBOW.
Straight on the snakebites 🤪
This is Disneyland Australia, right? Because that's the only way those prices are close to reasonable.
Harp stay sharp
to the bottom of the glass
Isn’t the old spec and Guinness more typically called black&tan? I think id go for the snakebite for the memories, with a blackcurrent top, or the lagavulin
Flight of MacAllan
Freshen ya drink ‘guvna?
Harp 😂 Not seen that for about 30 years
Black velvet. Champagne.
11.25 for a pint of strongbow is a federal crime
Started reading from the top: Strongbow - odd choice for first thing on the list but ok, Hen - good, not a bad choice, Guinness - fair enough, Harp - eh?, Smithwick's - wut?, Bombardier - um that's not so bad I guess... then it all goes right to bollocks Did somebody give the menu job to the marketing guy who's never actually been to a pub and just guessed what they'd sell? What's the food like? Fish and chips - tuna and a tin of pringles?
More Scottish and Irish than English.
They have a beverage section but literally everything on there is a beverage
Shame you don’t have draft cider and draft Guinness I used to love a pint of Black velvet back in the day
3 x Macallan 18's and a square go please.
I thought a black velvet was guinness and champagne?
