Universal Studios City walk in Orlando has some good bars.

There were a few beer carts at Islands of Adventure, but none of them were open.

I guess on hot days, they don't open them.

Now at the AK, we did see beer, but it was expensive.

:eek:

The Hospitality Center at Sea World San Diego is one of my favorite spots in the park. It has the best food and is beautiful throughout.
And of of course, the Clydesdales next door are awesome. I love walking through the stable yard admiring the horses (and on one occasion telling a SG to remove his hand from the stall opening-he almost got bit.) It's great when there is a mare and foal running around the paddock too.
I hate that In Bev has bought Anheuser Busch. The removal of free beer is only the beginning. :mad:

To heck with beer at Seaworld. The best beer in this area has got to be at BJ's Brewhouse over at the Loop (Osceola Parkway near John Young Parkway). I am not a beer drinker at all. Would never be caught dead ordering a glass to drink. But Mr. Syndrome and I tried the BJ's sampler and now we are both hooked. It's the only place we'll actually order a glass...he was into the pumpkin ale that they had for the holidays, while I am all about their Blonde ale. I guess my repressed German genes had to surface sometime.

I do not feel well and need a nap so the following may be because of that.

King of the Hill when they were selling beer made in Mexico. It was terrible tasting and finally Peggy slipped into the board room and switched the beer so that on camera the chairmen of the board reacted violently to their own product.

Duff beer, I hear it is made using water from the nuclear plant.

my husband, who doesn't even drink, was very upset about this. We actually went on Sunday and we sampled Shock Top (very good!:p :) and it's sad to see such an old tradition go right out the window. Do you think this has more to do with the recession or the Belgian company taking over?

It is a new owner so they will want to get rid of the busch name and the beer related theme and turn it into a Disneyland, Carowind, Knotts Berry Farm type of place. A place without the free booze and peddling of Busch products.

Of all the people that have posted almost everyone does not drink beer or if do drink beer it is not Busch brands. They are trying to get people to come to their brand of beer but most visitors do not drink, cannot drink or prefer a different brand. They would make more money off of a restaurant than on giving away stuff.

Actually, it's not that the beer was terrible, it's that some detergent/soap of some type ended up in the beer and they were selling it to Mexico figuring no one there would care. Peggy found out, brought it to her superiors, and was basically told it's none of your business, so she gave the board members some of the tainted beer that was being sold in Mexico. Their violent reaction was getting sick.

Is that based on an actual incident?

hehehehehehe

I remember being overseas, and we would go to Subic Bay naval base for upkeep/repair. The bars would serve American beer that had formaldehyde in it. You would get SUCH a headache!!! thats why a lot of us switched to RUM! or Gin, or vodka ...(plus it was cheap!)

I have no idea, I've just seen that episode a couple of times, so I know well what happened.

I say that in jest. When I was at a confrence in Denver, a buch of us took the Coors tour. WOW, The way they run the place, I don't think anything could happen that they were not aware of.

And being a pet owner, realized that my guys may be partaking of the Coors product!!

hehehehehe
