    Seaworld Orlando's beer mojo is completely

    neutered. It's the same story at Busch

    Gardens. The beer scene is a near 100% total

    loss. I fail to understand that even as the

    Euro biz influence of InBev trashes the

    wonderful beer history of Seaworld and Busch

    Gardens Tampa Bay they never percieved the

    perhaps aging solar flare of craft brewing

    that is still growing by most accounts. Why

    when even Anheuser is testing a growing list

    of specialty drinks would they limit these

    parks to this nearly vacant list of brews:

    Bud, Bud light, Bud light with lime,

    Michelob, Mich. light, Tennants, and

    Landshark Lager... I really would only even

    try the Tennants and the Landshark out of

    the list... But it's so wasted compared to

    the FREE tasting area they had when they

    would put such acceptable creations as

    'Winter's bourbon cask ale', World Select,

    and others. I could not find anything other

    than the above list of 7 in the whole park.

    One employee told me there was a list of 8

    beers and they are the only ones being sold

    in the park.

    Seaworld is a much less inviting place to

    be.

    Gone is the beer school, special beer

    tasings, other beer classes, and all the

    prior free tastings they offered. I get it,

    charge for the beer; Why take away the

    variety. So sad. I only half enjoyed the

    park. It's a new Seaworld Neutered of it's

    rich brewing history.

    As one column mentioned it's got to be a

    prep for sale. So they don't have to sell a

    park with beer as a focus perhaps. It's so

    wierd though as the park highlighted what

    A.B. does, and was a perfect venue for them

    to test new brews and new ideas. They never

    even used it to it's fullest potential.

    I never would have imagined that Seaworld _had_ any beer mojo...
