Busch Gardens Tampa Bay says its bringing back the theme park's best attraction—free booze.

Today the park announced that from now until July 20,  annual pass holders who are 21-and-over can score two free 7-ounce beers per visit, while guests with regular admission can score one free beer.

The free beers will be available at Twisted Tails Pretzels, which is located in the Pantopia area of the park from 10:30 a.m. to one hour prior to park closure.

The park's Hospitality House used to be the spot for free beers, but last January the building was transformed into the Springs Taproom, which hosts a full bar with a 12-tap rotating beer list, frozen cocktails and small bites.
But moving the free beers to Twisted Tails is a smart move by the park, considering the  spot is home to BG's only place to get pretzel-wrapped hot dogs and sausages.

Free beer has been a Busch Gardens staple for over 50 years, all the way back to when it was owned by Anheuser-Busch. But the park ended the promotion in 2009. In 2019, during its 60th anniversary, BG brought it back.
