Cheers to Zoo Brew @ Home!

The annual fundraiser that brings beer lovers and zoo lovers together to support Santa Barbara Zoo is going virtual this year, with Zoo Brew @ Home, on Saturday, February 13 from 12:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. The “wildly” popular event has already sold out, however, livestream access only tickets are now available for just $25 (not including the beverages) for guests to participate in the fun and informative program, and a full list of event beverages from participating breweries, wineries and more will also be sent prior to the event for those guests interested in purchasing drinks on their own if they wish.

Hosted by Surf ‘n’ Suds co-founder Andres Nuño, Zoo Brew @ Home guests are in for an exciting day of sipping a whole herd of beverages, zookeeper talks, and meeting some of the Zoo’s most famous animal couples for some “love on the wild side,” all from the comfort of home, thanks to the virtual format. This year’s “brew-tiful” event is three hours long and will include a walk-through of 14 beverages from 13 craft beverage makers from California, including beer, cider, hard seltzer, kombucha, and wine. Hear from the people who craft those great-tasting beverages, check out some music, and turn your house into the ultimate beer festival zone!

“We’re blown away by the amazing response to Zoo Brew @ Home, and really excited about putting together another entertaining Virtual Beer Festival” shared Nuño. “Guests will get to enjoy some great behind-the-scenes moments at the Zoo, and discover some great alcoholic beverages, all while raising funds for the Santa Barbara Zoo during these challenging times.”

While regular tickets are sold out, the public is still encouraged to purchase the livestream-only tickets, and will receive the full list of beverages being featured in the event, the week prior to the event. Click here for full details and to purchase the livestream-only tickets.
