To celebrate the SeaWorld San Diego’s exciting new Emperor coaster opening on March 12, 2022, the park partnered with local Mike Hess Brewing to create Emperor Hazy IPA, an all-new limited-release pineapple, mango, and citrus-forward Hazy India Pale Ale inspired by the ride and exclusively sold at SeaWorld San Diego.

“I am excited for the opportunities that partnerships like this can do to enhance the experience for our guests, and what a better time as we launch California’s first floorless dive coaster, said SeaWorld Park President Jim Lake. “This partnership allows us to spotlight the ride, the amazing species it is named after, and support a cause focused on penguin conservation, education, and research efforts. Mike Hess is a great friend of SeaWorld, and we look forward to our continued relationship.”

Emperor Hazy IPA will be available throughout Seven Seas Food Festival, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Penguins International.
