Zoo Brew

The Santa Barbara Zoo announces the return of Zoo Brew, the annual fundraiser that caters to beer and zoo lovers alike, on Saturday, June 1 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with a VIP hour from 3:00 to 4:00 PM.

Guests are in for a “wild” day of sipping on a whole herd of beverages and interacting with the local brewers who crafted them, all while admiring the Zoo’s hilltop ocean view. VIP ticket holders will also enjoy early entry, appetizers, and a chance to soak in the Zoo views. This year’s “brew-tiful” event features 20+ beverage makers from California, including beer, cider, hard seltzer, wine, and more. Pub food, non-alcoholic beverages, and merchandise are also available for purchase.

General admission tickets include unlimited beer tastings and one Zoo Brew 2024 commemorative tasting cup. VIP tickets include all general admission perks, plus early entry/VIP hour (3–4 PM) and appetizers. All proceeds benefit the animals at the Santa Barbara Zoo. For ages 21+ only.
