Wouldn't hurt to be a little tipsy before boarding Tigris.

Beginning Saturday, August 17 and running every weekend until Sunday, September 8, Busch Gardens Bier Fest allows attendees to sample craft beers from around the world.

Over 20 Florida breweries, including local joints like 3 Daughters and Dunedin House of Beer, will be pouring alongside domestic and international brands.

There will also be live entertainment along with bites like tacos, sliders, and bar treats like Reuben croquettes and deep-fried cheese curds.

Floats are also on the menu — like an adult root beer floats with your choice of shot and a hard coffee float made with Pabst Blue Ribbon Hard Coffee served over chocolate soft-serve ice cream.

Access to the Bier Fest area of BG runs from noon to close and is included with any Fun Card, Annual Pass or daily admission to the park.

Want to get tipsy before jumping on Tigris, aka Florida’s tallest launch coaster?

Snag a sample lanyard at the park, which runs from $29.99 for five samples and $49.99 for 10. 

By the way, Pass Members get one complimentary food, beer, wine or cocktail sample.
