Okay, beer fans, this booth’s for you! Come along with us to this year’s California Craft Brews Festival Marketplace Booth at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival!

California Craft Brews booth

The 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially started at Disneyland Resort, and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 27th, you can devour some tasty eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat and sip (with the emphasis on sip) at California Craft Brews? Well, we’ve checked it out, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.

Menu

Even though California Craft Brews shines the spotlight on beer, you can also grab Chicharrón Nachos here.

2026 Menu

A few cocktails are up for grabs, too: California Punch, the Mango Guava Cocktail, and a Tropical Chamoy Michelada. Finally, the aforementioned California brews include Bottle Logic Brewing’s Explorando Mexican lager, Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker IPA,  Russian River Brewing Company’s Blind Pig IPA, and a seltzer: LA Bodega Brewing Company’s La Fresa. These can be enjoyed individually or with the California Beer Flight. 

Ready to raise a glass (or four )? Let’s go!

Eats

The new Chicharrón Nachos are available for $9. The plate is made up of Chicharrón, chorizo, cheese sauce, tomatoes, and salsa verde.

Chicharrón Nachos

You need to eat these FAST, or else they get super super soggy! The chicharróns don’t have much flavor on their own. The flavor comes from the meat the most. It has SO much seasoning, with a long-lasting kick. The meat is very ground up and easy to eat. We liked the nacho cheese in it, along with the tomato, even though they both didn’t add much flavor. We could’ve used a little more tomatoes and onions. Overall, we really enjoyed this!

Drinks

The Tropical Chamoy Michelada is new this year. For $21, tomato juice, chamoy, and passion fruit purée are served with Bottle Logic Explorando, and it’s finished with a Tajín Clásico rim.

Tropical Chamoy Michelada

This drink had an immediate tomato juice taste. You don’t get too much of the lager, with a little bit of lager for the aftertaste. It’s mostly the tomato juice with a little kick from the chamoy. There’s a little bit of zest from the lime, but not that much. Overall, it’s just mostly dominated by the tomato juice, so it’s more of an acquired taste of beer.

This is more of an acquired taste!

The California Punch returns from its debut last year for $9. This non-alcoholic drink mixes mango purée, guava nectar, cucumber syrup, and lemon juice. It’s garnished with a mango chile lollipop!

Between the blend of unique, fresh flavors (with an emphasis on the fruit) and the flavorful garnish, this drink definitely rises above your average mocktail. It’s a terrific non-alcoholic option.

Last year’s Mango Guava Cocktail is back, as well, for $18.00. Essentially, it adds vodka to the California Punch, and is garnished with a rainbow sour belt gummy for a fun (and literal) twist!

As with the California Punch, we don’t get much of the cucumber flavor, except in a bit of the aftertaste. But simply put, this is a refreshing light and fruity drink.

Finally, the California Beer Flight costs $18.50. It’s comprised of Bottle Logic Brewing’s Explorando Mexican lager, Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker IPA,  Russian River Brewing Company’s Blind Pig IPA, and a seltzer: LA Bodega Brewing Company’s La Fresa. Each can be enjoyed individually for $17.00, with the exception of Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker IPA, which costs $18.50. 

OVERALL

Overall, the booth is fine, but it’s nothing you need to go running to! The nachos are worth the try, but with so much that the festival has to offer, you don’t have to make this spot your priority.

Here’s what we got!
