Sea World - no more free beer

So, it says here that the Hospitality Houses at Sea World parks (and Busch Gardens) will no longer serve free beer! Thus ends a long, much loved tradition. Heck, I used to enjoy this, and I HATE BEER! It's true. I can't stand the stuff, but, when I used to have an annual pass for Sea World, I would go to the Hospitality House and get my complimentary six ounce serving, and try really hard to learn to like it. I never succeeded. In fact, I never once managed to complete my little plastic cupful. But, in spite of that, I still enjoyed this silly part of my Sea World day. The cooked barley aftertaste as I strolled toward Shamu Stadium was always part and parcel of the overall experience. Likewise, I cannot think of Busch Gardens, Tampa without immediately thinking of both the brewery tour and the beer aftertaste as I wandered around the animal exhibits.

Edited to add - I wonder if this also means that employees of these parks will no longer receive free beer as a benefit. Currently, they get a free case every month.
