Last weekend was the kickoff of Bier Fest at Busch Gardens Tampa. Steve and Jen were on site to try all the tasty drinks and food which all looks amazing. 

And they happened to take a look at a tiny little project going on at the park too. =)

Bier Fest is back Busch Gardens and we’re to check out this year’s offerings!
Picture
Picture
This year’s festival map, most of Gwazi Park is blocked off for obvious reasons. More on that later!
Picture
Love the giant menu board at the festival entrance that lets you know what’s on tap at each location.
Picture
Plenty of food options available to soak up all the beer!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We tried the Spicy Mango Wings and Sweet Potato Fries, both delicious! And of course a Rosé Float for dessert!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Don’t worry, it’s not all beer at Bier Fest. There’s plenty of options for everyone! We can’t wait to go back for more. Weekends through 9/8
Picture
Picture
Bier Fest continues weekends through September 8th. You can find out all the details here. 

Oh, and there is this other thing going on at the park too!! 
Picture
Picture
It looks pretty amazing

Today we're back at Busch Gardens, but the one that is 835 miles north of the one we were at yesterday. 

If you missed Steve and Jen's report from Bier Fest at Busch Gardens Tampa,  click here !! 

But today we're in Williamsburg with Renée who spent the weekend riding some amazing rides and drinking some amazing beer (bier?). Let's check out one of the best parks in the country!!

All weekend we were at Busch Gardens Williamsburg for Bier Fest. And some awesome coasters, too.
Picture
Might as well get started on the beer! Here is just some of what Busch Gardens VA has to offer for Bier Fest.

​RIP DarKastle.
Picture
​Alpengeist is still so good!!
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Well. Battle for Eire is... a ride?
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Happy 40th, Loch Ness Monster. You get even better with age! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
​I found my new home.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
You can’t go wrong with any of the coasters Busch Gardens VA
Picture
Picture
​Ended the night with some amazing rides on Apollo’s Chariot!
Picture
​Back at Busch Gardens VA for some more coaster fun! First train of the day on InvadR, and the whole train to myself as well.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Got a few more rides in on Griffon before things get busier.
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Delayed opening for Verbolten. The only new coaster for me left on this trip, so I’ll wait it out. 
Picture
Picture
​I’m seeing signs for these all over the park. I guess I’m out of touch with this fad. Are these the new fidget spinners?
Picture
​Verbolten was a surprise hit for me! There seriously are zero bad coasters at this park.
Picture
Picture
Picture
t’s the final day for Bier Fest. Gotta get another sampler card to try some more!
Picture
Picture
​Getting some gorgeous views on the Rhine River Cruise.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​Giving out fanny packs to riders for loose articles on Tempesto is something I’ve never encountered on a coaster before, but hey, it’s fast and it works.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The theming on all of the Busch Gardens VA rides are really top notch. Escape From Pompeii is short and sweet with just enough fire and water for an awesome ride.
Picture
Picture
​My face when I’m trying to sample all the beers on the last day of Bier Fest and it’s 90+ degrees outside and I only have 3 hours left. 
Picture
​The park is gearing up for Howl O Scream in a few days.
Picture
Picture
The last performance for the Happy Dutchman, closing out Bier Fest. Auf wiedersehen!
Picture
Picture
​Views from the Sky Ride.
Picture
Picture
Picture
For Bier Fest they also had some brewery talks, which I always find interesting to attend.
Picture
​This Busch Gardens doesn’t have quite as many animals as Tampa, but there are a few. Here are some random sheep.
Picture
​Prost! Had such a fun weekend
