Bier Fest is back at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay a bit earlier this year, running every weekend from Aug. 13 to Oct. 31, bringing with it live local music, an all-new beer trail and, of course, brews and food.
The beer trail promises to run throughout the park this year, between coasters, live music and animal habitats. The new Giraffe Bar is included on this year’s brewery lineup featuring Motorworks Brewing, joining local breweries like Big Storm, 3 Daughters and Coppertail.
If you’re not into beer, you’ll also be able to find seltzers and frozen cocktails along the trail.
This year’s food lineup has something for everyone, too. Brews and Chews is offering an Impossible Burger slider topped with lemon dill cucumber yogurt, pickled onions, local greens and tomato, while Garden Gate is bringing the bar classics like pretzel sticks and Mojo-roasted heritage pork pub chip nachos.
Regular park admission grants you access to the festival, but you’ll have to buy a Sampler Lanyard to have access to the event’s punch card. Lanyards start at $49.99 and include an 8-hole punch card. A 12-hole punch card and lanyard sets you back $64.99, and pass members can gain access to three extra samples when they purchase this one.
