One of the best parts of visiting Epcot is drinking around the world.
Guests flock to EPCOT for a chance to try specialty cocktails from each of the countries in EPCOT’s World Showcase. Numerous options are available at each of the 11 countries, ranging from shots of tequila to sweet and refreshing cocktails. While there are tons of drinks to choose from, many of them don’t suit every palate. We’re constantly trying these drinks and letting you know what you should try and what you should skip — based on flavors you like or dislike.
Out of all the amazing drinks you can grab during your trip around the world, we have a few favorites. The drink we’ll be reviewing today is a fan-favorite and takes us into Germany.
The Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen is a fan-favorite for a reason, and after this post, you’ll see why! This is a beer that even those who don’t like beer will come back for again and again. After reading, the only thing left to do will be to try it for yourself!
Where You Can Find Grapefruit Beer in EPCOT
Like we said, you can find the Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT. You can find Germany nestled between Italy and China. Once you’ve made your way to Germany, there are two locations where you can grab the beer. We encourage you to bring your appetite, though, because there are plenty of great food options at both of these locations.
- Sommerfest
- If you’re looking for beer, brats, and sauerkraut, this traditional German restaurant is for you. You can choose from an array of great German dishes to accompany your grapefruit beer. This restaurant makes for a faster experience, especially if you’re there with the goal to truly “drink around the world” and try a drink from each country.
- Biergarten
- Sit down for this one! This theatre-style restaurant features German dishes that are accompanied by performers that make you feel like you’re part of Oktoberfest! You can enjoy your beer alongside a buffet-style meal perfect for the whole family. This restaurant is a better option if you’re looking to take your time and truly experience German culture (and food!) while drinking your beer.
What Does Grapefruit Beer Taste Like?
This is a beer for the people who don’t like beer! This drink is very light and crisp, and has refreshing hints of grapefruit. The grapefruit taste is powerful enough that you can taste it and feel refreshed, without it being too overpowering. Some grapefruit drinks have a tendency to be slightly bitter, but this one doesn’t have so much of that bitterness.
We definitely recommend this beer to anyone, even those who don’t necessarily like the flavor of a traditional beer or grapefruit. This drink is so refreshing and the perfect way to relax and cool off during a hot day at Disney! We’re constantly trying new drinks and snacks (and reviewing them!) so make sure you follow along so you don’t miss any Disney-related news. We love this drink and hope you will as well!

Do other people not have this beer at their local supermarkets or package stores? I’d rather drink something I can’t get at home.

It’s worth noting that this beer is just over 2% ABV so it’s also a very light-weight beer in terms of alcohol content. When I’m the designated driver for a group on a trip around the world, this is my go-to for that reason. I can still enjoy an actual beer and with it only being 2% by the time you walk out of the park back to you car any alcohol effect would be gone.

This is great with the fish & chips from Yorkshire County Fish Shop, if you can make it last the walk!
