Brew at the Zoo is taking place this weekend to support Zoo Miami

Press Release: New Times’ Brew at the Zoo, the seventh-annual celebration of suds, returns to Zoo Miami Saturday, May 7, with more beer, more food, and more entertainment than ever before.

Miami’s largest beer festival (and the only one that features guest appearances by zoo creatures), offers unlimited samplings of more than 100 of the best local and international beers.

More than 4,000 beer lovers from across South Florida are expected to attend the festivities, which run from 8 to 11 p.m.

This year, Arrested Development will take the stage to entertain. Since 1991, this two-time Grammy-winning group has given the world hits like “Mr. Wendal,” “Tennessee,” and “People Everyday.”

If you’re hungry, Brew at the Zoo offers great eats to buy, including burgers from Shake Shack and Greek fare from C&R Foods. Classics like lamb gyros, chicken oregano on a pita, Greek feta salad, souvlaki, and chicken, beef, or veggie hot dogs will tame even the hungriest beast.

Brew at the Zoo returns April 11th to Palm Beach Zoo

Press Release:

Palm Beach County’s most unique craft beer festival returns for its 3rd year.

It’s Brew At The Zoo, Presented by Dixie Grill & Bar, on Saturday, April 11, 2015! Enjoy the wild animals and beautiful grounds of the Palm Beach Zoo while you sample craft beer from over 25 breweries. More than half of the participating breweries this year are from Florida. We celebrate the growth of the industry and encourage you to support our Florida craft brewers. Getting your craft beer from Florida, especially close to home in South Florida, means less carbon emissions from transporting the product. Plus, local breweries create local jobs. Both important considerations in living sustainably! Also, many craft brewers are very conservation oriented.

This is a great opportunity to try out some phenomenal craft beer, so you know what you want to buy at your favorite watering hole or grocery. Please remember, this is a sampling event, with 2 oz samples in your collectable mug. And while your admission includes unlimited sampes we know that you’ll drink responsibly! BTW, if you try to sample every brew available during the event you would probably blow a 0.15 BAC or greater…twice the legal limit.
