Zoo Brew at the Milwaukee County Zoo

Zoo Brew brings people together to explore the Milwaukee County Zoo while sampling beers, savoring yummy treats and socializing with friends, family and friendly faces. Guests can test out beers from a wide range of local breweries on Thursday, Oct. 6, from 7 to 10 p.m.

Whether you’re into micro or macro brews, or even just the Wisconsin classics, Zoo Brew has something for everyone. Exploring the Milwaukee County Zoo, home to more than 2,000 animals representing 330 species, is always exciting, especially with the addition of a seasonal brew in hand.

While wandering, be sure to stop by the Bear Garden, a tribute to Wisconsin’s outdoors, which offers an adult-friendly menu that includes boozy ice cream floats made with Henry’s Hard Orange Soda or Not Your Father’s Root Beer, 12 different beer varieties that change on a regular basis and hot pretzels with cheese. Or check out Husk Haus for buttery corn on the cob, and stay for the bratwurst, hotdogs and beer.

Be sure to look into the VIP tickets for early entrance to the event at 6 p.m.

For Zoo Pass members and their guests, regular tickets are $50, VIP tickets are $60, and designated driver tickets are $20. If you’re a non-member, regular tickets are $60, VIP tickets are $70, and designated driver tickets are $30.
