While the Refreshment Outpost isn’t your typical Food and Wine booth, it is one place you can order full-size alcoholic festival beverages.
This is actually a permanent Quick Service spot that you can find in the area between the China and Germany pavilions.
But, just like at every other Epcot festival, during Food and Wine there are exclusive festival menu items sold here in addition to the daily menu which includes things like soft-serve ice cream, frozen drinks, and a range of beers.
Like the past several years, this year’s festival items include a plant-based Spicy Githeri with white beans, pigeon peas, quinoa and ancient grains medley, and kachumbari slaw.
You definitely get your bang for your buck with the beers, cider, and the Spicy Githeri, with the latter making a great plant-based offering.

As for the drinks, they only cost $11.25, which is a great deal, especially when compared to the pricing of other festival beverages that are much smaller.
Keep reading for everything you need to know about the Refreshment Outpost festival items, including reviews, photos, and our must-trys.

Spicy Githeri
Githeri is a Kenyan dish traditionally made with corn and beans. This spicy githeri is made with white beans, pigeon peas, Ben’s Original Quinoa & Ancient Grains Medley, and kachumbari slaw.

Our Thoughts
Shannon: Decent portion, fantastic combo of flavors, great plant-based option.
Heather: I’m gonna call this one a sleeper…lots of flavor, great texture and a huge portion. Win. Win. Win.
Felicia: I don’t love this. It has a nice spice to it but not a flavor I appreciate. It’s also dry and just not for me overall.
Allyson: As a vegetarian, this is fantastic. The flavors are phenomenal and a very good portion.
Gulf Stream Brewing Co. Cloud Watermelon Hibiscus Lager
A watermelon hibiscus lager brewed by Gulf Stream Brewing Co. in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Our Thoughts
Heather: This is a very interesting flavored beer! The watermelon flavor is not overwhelming, but it gives it a little blast of fun at the end.
Felicia: I love this. Subtle watermelon flavor, light beer. It’s perfect for a hot day. Love that we get a full size of this one because I’m a big fan.
Allyson: The watermelon definitely comes through, so if you’re not a fan don’t order this. It’s not too overpowering, though!
Ciderboys Mango Tango Hard Cider
A fruity mango cider brewed by Ciderboys in Stevens Point, WI.

Our Thoughts
Heather: This is EXCELLENT. Love a cider that doesn’t taste like apples, and this hits it out of the park. Would absolutely buy this one again!
Felicia: This is entirely too sweet for me, but as a hater of ciders I found this cider rather tolerable. Mango flavor is perfect and it’s light. If it wasn’t so sweet I would order it again because it doesn’t taste like cider.
Allyson: I think this is a super crisp and refreshing cider. I love the mango flavor! Yum! Great choice for a hot day.
North Coast Brewing Co. PranQster Golden Ale
A Belgian style golden ale brewed by North Coast Brewing in Fort Bragg, CA.

Our Thoughts
Heather: I didn’t think I’d like this one, but I do! There is a lightness to it that lets the rich flavor shine without being too much.
Felicia: A nice golden ale. Nothing special but still solid. Second favorite at this booth.
Allyson: Wow. Did not expect to like this as much as I did. Such great flavor!
