No more 'Free Beer' at Sea World

Employees of Sea World were told this week that the parent company, Anheuser Busch-InBev, has decided to stop the policy of offering complimentary beer tastings at all its theme parks.

For many years, the Anheuser Busch hospitality center (located in all Sea World/Busch Gardens theme parks) offered complimentary beer tastings for guests 21 and older. The decision comes as Belgian based InBev (the new owners of Anheuser Busch) are looking to sell off the entertainment division to help pay for the $52 billion acquisition that was finalized last year.

InBev laid off some 1400 employees last month, although none of those layoffs affected park operations.
