Beer Band and Bbq Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens Tampa's Bier Fest is returning for a 4th year of brews and bites. Guests can sip seasonal beverage offerings and savor new recipes featuring fan-favorite breweries. Let's take a look at what's ahead at Bier Fest!

Beer will flow through the park on an all-new beer trail. This walkable route weaves between iconic coasters, local live music and fascinating animal habitats while incorporating favorite restaurants and outdoor culinary stations, including the new Giraffe Bar. This year, park guests can toast to new adventures each Friday through Sunday from August 13 to October 31. Admission to Bier Fest is included with park admission, however food and beverage are additional purchases.

Last year, Bier Fest occurred at the same time as Howl-O-Scream, and some of the Bier Fest food and drink locations were open during the haunt event. We believe it will be the same this year as well. Read here for more about this year's Howl-O-Scream!

Brew fans will have dozens of beers to choose from at this year's Bier Fest, featuring over 50 varieties of IPAs, wheat ales, stouts and more! This year's event shines a spotlight on breweries that bring flavor to Florida and beyond, with iconic local, regional and national brews incorporated into new shareable samples at over a dozen culinary locations, including:

• Brews & Chews with Funky Buddha Brewing: Pair a "Hop Gun IPA" with NEW Drunken Shrimp Papaya Salad, featuring beer-battered and golden fried shrimp topped with Tajin and Thai chili Buddha dressing.
• Pub Grub featuring Alcatraz Brewing: Indulge in a "2 X IPA" with pepper smoked chopped brisket poutine, including beer-battered French fries smothered in blue cheese, caramelized onions, and chipotle BBQ sauce.
• Garden Gate featuring Anheuser-Busch: A nod to the park's roots include the return of fan-favorite Mojo roasted heritage pork pub chip nachos topped with pepper jack mornay cheese and a savory avocado crema.
• Kraft-Heinz Kitchen featuring Sierra Nevada Brewing: Enjoy a mountain of flavor packed into the new High Altitude Smoked Elk Jalapeño Sausage Chili topped with a drizzle of Kraft-Heinz cilantro sour cream.

Not a beer fan? No problem! There will be a variety of delicious options for everyone to enjoy at Bier Fest this year. From delectable bourbon tastings to chilling frozen cocktails and seltzers, satisfying refreshment is abundantly available in every corner of the park.

Several festival locations feature non-alcoholic beverage options as well, including the new Giraffe Bar. Barrilitos strawberry hibiscus or watermelon Agua Frescas offer cool relief on warm summer days and Serengeti views from panoramic windows or the open-air patio.

After enjoying live local music at the Coke Canopy, a stop at Xcursions gift shop is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth. The new sangria and mimosa bar pairs with the whiskey-inspired gourmet cupcake flight fresh from the park's bakery for the perfect dessert combo.

Sampler lanyards will again be available for purchase, offering 8 to 12 sampler options (and a 15 sampler option for annual passholders). We always HIGHLY recommend getting a sampler lanyard, as you can really maximize the bang for your buck.

We'd like to note that park reservations are no longer required at Busch Gardens Tampa, and while face coverings are not mandatory, the park does recommend that our guests wear face coverings while indoors.
