ORLANDO -- The beer is no longer free at SeaWorld Orlando.
In a statement Monday, Busch Entertainment Corporation said it will begin changing their hospitality centers to restaurants at both SeaWorld and Busch Gardens early this year.
Beer will still be available for purchase by guests of legal drinking age, but the new facilities will not include beer sampling.
The sampling area at SeaWorld Orlando is scheduled to close for a period starting Feb. 1, to be converted into a new restaurant.
Employees affected by the change will continue to be employed by the company.
