The Brew at the Zoo Beer Festival is a fine mix of amazing beer and animals, so if you’re a fan of both, this event is perfect for you.

What you Should Expect

There’s plenty of stuff, but we’ll begin with the most obvious one.

Food & Drinks

Since it’s a brew festival, you should expect a huge variety of craft beer kinds. Specifically, the organizers have invited more than 65 brewmasters, offering a tremendous assortment of suds for any taste. Visitors can also try delicious food samples from local vendors—just find the closest food truck and fill your bellies up!

Animals

The event is held at a zoo, which means you’ll be surrounded by wild animals. Get ready to spot tigers, giraffes, meerkats, flamingoes, Ostriches, zebras, and other creatures uncommon in the civilized world, all the while enjoying your beverage. And be sure to grab some snacks.

Entertainment

After you feed the animals and drink approximately eight gallons of beer, it’s time to listen to some music. The good news is: there will be a live music concert and even a "Night Visions" show—a unique lights & sounds performance.

Tickets

There are two ticket options: general admission ($95) and conservation champion ($115). With both of these tickets, you’ll be able to enter the festival in the morning (between 6am and 7 am, according to your ticket) and stay there until dusk. This way, you’ll have a lot of time to enjoy yourself in the company of beer and animals. So book your tickets and accommodation beforehand and have a nice stay!
