The annual SeaWorld Orlando Craft Beer Festival opened August 15th with a selection of over 100 domestic and local Florida craft brews. Running on weekends now through September 20th, there are 20 unique flavor samplings created for the festival available throughout the park. Let’s take a quick look at this year’s Craft Beer Festival!

Craft Beer Festival Offerings

The festival brings in selections from domestic and Florida local breweries, and with over 35 breweries and 100 different beers, there’s something for every taste. Domestic offerings include Anheuser Busch, Sam Adams Boston Beer Co, and Blue Moon Brewing Company. Some of the local offerings include beer from Tampa Bay Brewing Company, Crooked Can and Sailfish Brewing Company. Even though this is a beer festival, for me it’s really about the food. And to be honest, I’m not really a beer drinker.

SeaWorld offers sample lanyards of 8 and 12 samples. They can be used in any combination of festival food and beverages. SeaWorld Pass Members receive 3 free complimentary samplings that can be used for the length of the festival.

I will be back as everything sampled was delicious! The Craft Brew Festival runs on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through September 20th.
