guys we are back at busch gardens tampa it is time for a new food festival it's beer fest so
they got food they got drink it's gonna be a good time now when you're entering indoors it says
you are entering an indoor area face coverings are recommended for all guests so at disney they're
like enforced like you have to wear a mask when you're going indoors but places like universal and
busch gardens it's just recommended so beer fest is always one of my favorite little festivals that
Busch Gardens Tampa has it goes from august 13th until october 31st so it kind of like overlapped
the two other events so there's like the summer fest going on right now like remember those
awesome fireworks that i filmed last time i was here so that's happening i think until september
3rd so if you come early enough during the beer fest it overlaps and then beer fest is during
the entire hollow screen so you know allison and i will be there on opening day for hollow screens
but it's time to go to the food booth area let's look at the map so they have 20 different food
and drink locations you ready to have some drinks keith it's a hot day and here we are we've entered
into the busch gardens beer fest area okay it is time to start eating the first place we're gonna
be going is the garden gate cafe all right so guys first off this is what i got to drink so i got the
sailor jerry rum punch all right let's start with the drink oh it's not like overpowering with the
peach it's like a subtle peach slushie and then you get a little hint of the alcohol in there
i think there's 7.5 on that one and then i also got the bavarian pretzel sticks ipa mustard with
a bacon onion jam all right now oh these pretzel sticks are hot oh my god mmm well i just have that
onion jam with the pretzel steak you get like the sweetness from the onion jam and then the
saltiness from the pretzel and get the little hints of the smokiness from like bacon in there
that's some good stuff oh my gosh okay busch gardens all right let's try the ipa mustard now
i'm not really a fan of beer i like beer cheese but i don't really care for that i think if you
like ipas it's got an interesting aftertaste i really like the onion jam the onion jam is good
and i'll say the pretzel stick and the onion jam 8.5 it's like a warm and soft pretzel
it tastes super fresh wow then i got the moho roasted heritage pork notches
blue corn chips pepper jack monterey avocado crema with a pickled onion let's try these nachos
but you get a fat smokiest flavor from the pork then the tortilla chip and then the crema i don't
know if the concoction mixes very well let me eat a little more of that all right run down when you
finish the nachos i really like the pork that's on there but every all the ingredients together i
think i pass on the nachos but i would definitely get those pretzels again all right so nachos we'll
do we'll do a 6.5 there's good stuff in there but it just doesn't hit the the high note oh but that
onion jam oh now when you go to epcot and you have their pretzels they're always kind of like pale
and kind of dried out that's a perfectly cooked pretzel i i can't get over it all right the next
little stand we're going to is the jack daniels whiskey hut we got the tennessee fire berry mule
it's gonna be jack daniels tennessee fire whiskey amaretto fresh juices with ginger beer all right
first off let's try the drink oh it's like a sweet honey i like that okay the fireberry mule
yeah you're getting subtle hints of the berry with like honey and a little bit of like ginger
this is a nine nine out of ten drink right here and then we also got the jack daniels tennessee
fire whiskey beignets dusted with powdered sugar all right so let's put the jack daniels in there
i've never had a jack daniel soaked beignet let's try the beignets now in the past the beignets have
been interesting here right but these look very different than how they normally are
let's see how it is with the jack nails in it i don't know how i feel about the jack daniels in
there though you're getting like a heat from the jack daniels inside the benue all right i think
that's the best beignet that bush gardens has produced style of beignet the ones like i said the
ones in the past really weren't that good these are an improvement i think we'll do a 7.5 for
these beignets but uh the mule is uh where it's at so one of the things that i always love that
busch gardens does is they have live music but it's uh currently thundering and lightning out so
they can't have the live music right now normally we would be here for the 3 30 showing we'll stop
by again at five see if the weather's cleared up oh you can surely smell all the flamingos today
they smell very majestic keith how would you describe the smell of flamingos seafood
seafood now if you've never been to busch gardens it's like its own little like animal
kingdom there's animals everywhere here's a cute little toucan oh this really creeped me out i'm
guessing they put this here for hollow screams um so we're in the sesame street area okay so let's
just be like cute and cuddly and you're like oh what's that silhouette we're looking at and then
bam you got salad fingers man right there that is so creepy oh they got an another one over here
but what is going on uh down there that's his tail right it's like a a moose man and they got
some gollum looking one over here and they got another creepy guy back there and then
here's another like moose man silhouette now if you've never been here for hollow screams
it's lit it's like the entire park people like hide like in ghillie suits like in the bushes
and now we want to be like riding roller coasters right now but there's lightning in the area and
the thing about busch gardens is almost every single one of the rides is outdoors so when it
is lightning everything kind of like shuts down so hopefully the lightning will end soon thor
please stop it man they set up some of the skulls out here by sheikra you can see the little baby
orangutang over there the mom's right over there but the little baby's right there oh he's so cute
so
so it says that orangutans are seven times stronger than the average human
or about 14 times stronger than me i'm always just so fascinated every time i come here just
to watch the orangutans it's crazy to watch that little one grow up he's so much bigger
than the last time i saw him over by falcons fury remember last time i was like crying on
that ride but uh they have a key lime cider at the twisted tails pretzels i love me a good cider
they have like this like deep fried chocolate spicy dough thing they're making me a fresh
one all right let's try the key lime cider you know i'm not like punched with the key lime like
that a lot of key lime things have you just get overwhelmed with the key lime this almost just
tastes like more of like an apple cider with just the subtle little hints of the key lime
more like a toned down more light and smooth angry orchard i think we do 8.5 on the key
lime cider well guys the uh the tropical storm is here now weatherman keith what's going on outside
hurricane this is the work art we've been waiting for oh my gosh mary what is a twisted mole
a what it's called a twisted mole that's what it's called this is a twisted mall mole yeah
let's go for it okay we're in the middle of a monsoon right now the wonderful uh ambassadors
here made me one a twisted mole fresh and they said you want chili pepper on the side
i said sure why not so there's a i have no idea what the hell this is it's a deep fried
stick of uh of something it looks good it's covered in chocolate and uh chili flakes so
i know there's stuff on me but it doesn't taste like a donut it kind of tastes like a
loaf of like sourdough bread with like chocolate sauce on it let's try it with the chili flakes
chili flakes give it a kick and it's kind of like cooled off by the chocolate sauce
but the bread just kind of tastes like like look at it it's nice and fluffy but it doesn't taste
like a donut it tastes kind of like a baguette or something all right we just finished the uh
the twisted uh mole i was working with the with the culinary team there i was like there needs
to be like sugar or cinnamon or something so we added that on top so when it's chocolate with
cinnamon and like the chili flakes it's like this like sweet spicy chocolate bread and it's
it's really good when you add the cinnamon and sugar to it i think i'll do like a seven out
of ten on the twisted mold all right since it's uh raining we're going iphone cam right now so
we're in another little scare zone that they're setting up they're all these like spooky doors
guys look at this fact a human should eat nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day
asian elephants can eat over a hundred pounds of vegetables a day we're heading
to the serengeti overlook now we're gonna the giraffe bar this is one of my favorite
places to go because you can just sit there eat your food have a drink and then watch giraffes
this is what is in the posh puffin that i got up here at the draft bar it's gonna be
rayquas small batch icelandic vodka frozen watermelon the vodka and watermelon you can't
go wrong with that oh wow looking like taste the vodka it just tastes like a straight like
a watermelon juice slushie not like your fake watermelon flavoring just like a watermelon juice
slushie that's what it tastes like if you're a fan of watermelon it's like a nine out of 10.
what a theme park with a working train system in florida what everybody is waiting in line wishing
that cheetah hunt will reopen i saw some lightning so it's going to be kind of iffy if it reopens uh
the next stand we're going to go to is the craft and heinz stand now i'm really excited about
this uh with my dyslexia i read this a little wrong so it's the rainbow philly cheesecake
it almost looks like you know when you're a kid and you built like those multi-colored
like sand art things that's what it looks like let's try this uh cheesecake first
yeah that's cheesecake it's fun and colorful i would give it
maybe a 6.5 like it's a good cheesecake but it's nothing like wows me i enjoyed the design i think
the design is a lot of fun i think kids are gonna love it and then guys we also got the
the loco goat mac and cheese kraft mac and cheese applewood bacon chicharron crumbs with goat cheese
big thick hefty noodles so you get like kind of the standard craft mac juice then you get like
a pop of the goat cheese i feel on there and then like a subtle hint of the smokiness from the bacon
i don't think it beets they had it was just like candied bacon that they had it at another festival
that was like 10 out of 10 incredible i think this is good but it's not up to where that like candied
bacon mac and cheese was for both of those i think i'll do like a 7 out of 10. when i was eating
the rainbow cheesecake visually i was like wait am i eating play-doh right now but then you eat
it it's like oh wait i'm eating cheesecake all right the next stamp we're going to is
barley and cream all right so the next thing we got is the mango nada cocktail explosion fresh
carved pineapple mangonada mango soft serve chemoy with tahim on top now taking seasoning with fresh
cut pineapple is just insane let's see so you get a sweetness almost like a strawberry or a cherry
from the sauce on top then you get a little kick from the tahima then you get like that
soft fresh cut juicy pineapple and then you get like this like wonderful chilled mango slushie
underneath on a hot day oh my gosh this thing is great i think we'll do like a nine out of ten
i'm getting so full we're gonna go to our last cart we're gonna go into these sam adams fights
it's time for the final thing of the beer fest i'm just so stuffed when like youtubers come to
these like food festivals we don't eat beforehand we just like gorge ourselves and then we go home
and just collapse because we're in like a food coma so i got the german chocolate cake parfait it
looks like pecans on top with coconut shavings and chocolate cake and um icing in between let's see
how it is i like that frosting it's like a good buttercream frosting but then you have to cook it
on the pecans in there i feel like this one isn't for everyone and it looks kind of it reminds me of
like like a heath bar kind of with like the nuts and a little bit of chocolate i think there needs
to be less pecans and coconuts on top for it being called like a chocolate cake parfait really don't
taste much chocolate cake you're just tasting all the coconut and the nuts i think i do a six
out of ten on this i wouldn't get this again i would get that rainbow cheesecake over this
i just think there's too much coconut stuff going on you can't enjoy that moist cake that's in there
i like this backdrop they have for a little photo spa they have like hardwood right there the fake
plants all right so here's a little rundown of everything they have offering at busch gardens
they got summer nights that goes till the 6th and then right now we got the beer fest and then holla
scream and the beer fest end at the same time they kind of overlap each other and then it goes to
sesame street kids weekend and then busch gardens christmas town thanks for visiting busch gardens
i don't think any of the coasters are gonna reopen so we're just gonna head out it's
gonna be two hours of traffic heading back to orlando though now my car is kind of acting up
so i hopefully i make it home safely but uh all right keith what just happened while we're walking
out they um have the rice back on i can't go on we just saw somebody a whole bunch of people go by on
cheetah hunt we've been waiting like six hours for the rides to come back it is of course as soon as
they're leaving and going to our car they reopen the ride but i will be back to go ride the rides
eventually okay so guys we were back at home yes i made it home safe and sound but
my car on the other hand yeah a little run down i guess while i was driving to tampa
uh something punctured the radiator and then the head gasket went bad within the engine
which means you have to replace the engine because it costs so much and then some other things that
were wrong with the cars so this is this is where we're at right now this is life everyone um
pretty much would cost more than what my car is worth now so i'm gonna look for a new car now
and i will be having uber everywhere so i will keep you updated on what swagger wagon i pick out
this is just what happens in life you just gotta roll with the punches it's crazy because i've had
that car i bought it senior year of high school so it's like it's like a part of me man it's sad
to see it hurting but you also gotta know when to cut ties so that i think it's about that time yes
so uh let's go back to the uh busch garden stuff i always really enjoy their food festival now is
it an event that you need to rush to right now i would honestly wait for when hollow scream
happens go to busch gardens enjoy the rides the roller coasters go and eat the food during the
day and then when the night time happens go and enjoy how the screams it's a lot of fun don't
expect like halloween horror nights but expect a fun theme park like spooky vibe it's a lot of fun
so we will be back at busch gardens all right let me get my calendar here okay uh we will be
back september 10th oh my gosh okay all right so we'll be back for hollow screams at bush gardens
