What Is Zoo Brew?

If you’ve never been to Mesker Park Zoo’s annual Zoo Brew event, you’re missing out on an unforgettable evening of craft beer, live music, and animal encounters. It’s definitely not your average happy hour, but it is a safari-themed celebration that seems to get bigger each year.

This year’s Zoo Brew is happening on Saturday, June 14th, and will feature dozens of area breweries offering everything from hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts, plus cider, wine, and non-alcoholic options. And since you gotta have some grub too, there will be plenty of tasty bites from local food trucks.

More Than Just a Bunch of Brews

There’s more to this party than just drinks. There’s live music, interactive games, and even the chance to chat with zookeepers about the animals you’re supporting just by showing up.

Party with a Purpose

Speaking of support, all proceeds from Zoo Brew benefit the Mesker Park Zoo Foundation, which helps enhance the zoo’s exhibits and conservation efforts.

Zoo Brew WILL sell out – luckily for you, we got our hands on some tickets, and we’re gonna give you the chance to win them!

How to Win Zoo Brew Tickets

You’re gonna have to play “Zoo or Brew” if you want to win a pair of tickets. We will give you a name of something, and you’ll have to tell us if it’s a type of craft beer or an animal species. We’ll play the game each day (6/9-6/13) at 9am, so be ready to call 812-421-1117 when we tell you to, or you can tap "Call Us" in the MY105.3 app.
