How to Save Money
Looking for a way to save money at SeaWorld San Antonio’s Bier Fest? One way to save money is on the most important of Bier Fest: the beer!
You can save money on beer by purchasing a Bier Fest 10 Punch Sampler. The Bier Fest 10 Punch Sampler gets you ten 7-ounce draft beer samples. You can choose which beer you use it on, though you cannot use it on bottled beer.
A great thing about this lanyard is that it allows you the opportunity to try a lot of new beer, which is really great at a beer festival. Another great thing about this lanyard is that you can use it on more than one visit. So if you visit more than one day, it carries over. And by buying the sampler rather than buying each drink individually, you save money. You can click here to buy this lanyard.
Attendance to Bier Fest is not free, but it is included in the price of admission to SeaWorld. So it is covered by a single-day pass or by a season or annual pass. If you do not already have tickets to the park, you should buy your tickets here. They are having a great end-of-summer sale and you can save a lot of money!
