SeaWorld Orlando is going to serve up an incredible party for craft beer lovers this summer. If you love beer, the event is something you shouldn’t miss out on.

The Craft Beer Festival is back and included with park admission, running every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from August 15 to September 5.
