Beer at Hospitality Center...

[Stinasmom]

The Beer school/beer academy/Brewmasters club (whatever it is called) sounds interesting! I have already picked my "flight" from a previous post!

But can you attend this event with the kids in tow? How long does it last? Could I entertain them with some crayons and game books like at a restaurant?

Thanks for the info!

OK everybody....start salivating.....

I went on Wednesday this week and the samples are definately 12oz! I got 2 without any line barely at all and probably could have had another from each one of the two lines without a problem! I sampled a Bud Select and a Mich ultra. It was only 11:15 am and I didn't want them to throw me in the tank with Shamu if I had too many more. The deli was getting pretty busy already and most of the tables were full. It was really hot, and the Beer really hit the spot.

I was also there a couple weeks ago and got 2 samples at 11am. I like to go on the sky ride after that and look down at everything, or go on Kracken. The deli gets busy at noon, best to eat lunch at 11:30am to beat the crowd. You can probably get a 3rd or 4th sample if you switch lines, but the servers do have a good memory. They'll say something like, "Only 2 samples per person." But they'll still give you the 3rd drink. That's when you head over to Voyagers near the sky tower and buy one. Then it's on to the Key West area where they sell Bud at the snack stand next to the sting ray tank. By this time, you'll be feeling relaxed, watching people feed dolphins, and listening to the Jimmy Buffett music.

We brought our 6 year old in. They said he was more than welcome. It probably lasted about 20 minutes at the most. Our server was annoyed because we were letting our son eat the fruit and chocolate that they served with the beer. Too bad!

I like your touring plan. the deli is an overlooked lunch spot, great beef stew in a bread bowl and brats.
