SeaWorld Orlando: Free beer is back
Free beer is returning to SeaWorld Orlando, this time as part of the company’s celebration of its 60th birthday.
Theme park guests can now receive one 7-ounce draft from the Waterway Grill Patio daily 11 a.m. until one hour before the park closes. SeaWorld’s annual passholders are eligible for two 7-ounce pours per day.
SeaWorld also is introducing a Happy Hour Wednesdays promotion. It’s a buy one/get one free deal for draft beer and cocktails at the park’s Glacier and Waterway bars. The happy hour’s hours are 4 p.m. until park close.
The free beer deal is a limited-time offer, although SeaWorld has not announced when the last day will be.
Waterway Grill is located in the area past the entrance to the Infinity Falls water ride. The building also houses the pass-member lounge. Glacier Bar is near the Ice Breaker roller coaster.
Consumers, of course, must be at least 21 years old.
SeaWorld Orlando is in the midst of its Seven Seas Food Festival, which is held Thursdays-Sundays through May 19.
Free beer is a recurring offer at SeaWorld. It dates back at least to the era when the park was owned by Busch Entertainment Co., a division of Anheuser-Busch, and the company’s products were frequently available for sampling. The brewer got out of the theme-park business in 2009, although it remains in the name of Busch Gardens theme parks, including one in Tampa.
SeaWorld is celebrating the opening of its first park. It debuted in San Diego in 1964. SeaWorld Orlando opened in 1973.
