Zoo Brews Returns To Birmingham Zoo: What To Know

BIRMINGHAM, AL — The Birmingham Zoo is the place to be for craft beer enthusiasts Friday, as it will host Zoo Brews: Drafts at Distance, featuring samples from a dozen craft breweries.

The event takes place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and tickets are $35 each.

In addition to local beers, attendees will also enjoy local food trucks and the zoo’s Wild Burger restaurant.

Per ABC regulations, Zoo Brews will operate with a “Penny-A-Pour” system. In essence, each sample will be worth one penny. Guests will drop their penny into a bucket at each brewery booth in order to receive your sample.

All pennies collected will be donated to the Birmingham Zoo's Emergency Animal Fund.
