“In Heaven there is no beer,” is the line from an old German polka.

We do like beer. It’s one of the things we have really enjoyed about the two year passes we purchased for Busch Gardens. We definitely took advantage of the two small free beers Busch Gardens provided in the hospitality house each visit.

We just heard that the “free beer” is being eliminated at the end of this month.

John says it’s all my fault.

The last time we visited Busch Gardens (December 23rd), I tried going back through the line for a free beer three times and got caught!! It wasn’t that I’m such a lush. I had one about 12:00 and then at about 1:00, I got my second one and carried it the full length of the park to go to the Dessert Grill to enjoy with our lunch and a show. But unfortunately when I sat the glass down and it tipped over! My second one was therefore all over the bench and floor. I cleaned it up but sure didn’t get to consume it. About 3:30, we were back at the hospitality house and I went through the line again. The server said “Haven’t you already had two?” Out of all the thousands of people he served how did he recognize me?

I probably looked guilty but honestly said, “Who ME? No, I only drank one.” He served me.

John, who loves to tease me says my greed is the reason they will no longer have free beer.

Funny thing is I do feel guilty.
