Got a hankerin’ for an ale from Japan or a pilsner from Bavaria? Maybe a good Scottish stout or a Brazilian black beer? Stepping into Brewforia is like jumping on the It’s a Small World ride at Disneyland—if those little animatronic characters were offering you a brewsky rather than doing all that irritating singing, that is. In fact, that ride might be a lot more popular if it were more like Brewforia. Just a thought.
