Several theme parks now have exclusive beers, with many of them found at Universal or Disney parks. Animal Kingdom is the surprising home of many of Disney’s exclusive beers. You’ll find one of the most iconic in the Pandora area with the green Hawkes’ Grog Ale. This distinctly green-colored American Pale Wheat Ale brewed exclusively for Disney by Terrapin Beer Company of Athens, Georgia. It’s said to be quite refreshing with flavors of apricot, peach, and citrus. You’ll also find Mo’ara High Country Ale in Pandora, a spicy hop amber ale. Safari Amber is another exclusive beer found at Animal Kingdom. It is an American amber/red lager brewed by Anheuser-Busch exclusively for the Walt Disney World Resort and I saw it on the menu at the Sanaa restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Finally, you’ll find Gold Squadron Lager at Oga’s Cantina at Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

For years Busch Gardens Williamsburg had a secret spot hidden in the Germany section near the fountain and through a secret passage protected by a password (and a ticket). Here guests could be transported to a speakeasy reminiscent of the times of prohibition. This place is called Bürgermeister’s Hideaway and is quite fitting considering the brewery heritage of the Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It started in 2022 as a ticketed show experience with live actors that included specialty beverages for around $50. As of 2025 the park is now outwardly advertising its existence online for all to enjoy with no “show”, as more of a standard bar with no upcharge, but still has some lively characters. This has some long time patrons upset that the secret is out, but many more are discovering it for the first time. It turns out Bürgermeister’s Hideaway was never so much “secret”, but more “exclusive” given the cost and need for a ticket.
