The weather is beautiful, we’ve got a three-day weekend and the animals are adorable! Wait… animals? Yep, you read that right! Atlanta’s ~wildest~ beer festival of the year is actually hosted at Zoo Atlanta: Brew at the Zoo!
Kick off your (unofficial) start to summer this Memorial Day weekend with a delicious beer festival right here in the heart of Atlanta–and celebrate like a party animal!
What can festival-goers expect?
Brew at the Zoo is Zoo Atlanta’s fun annual beer festival that takes place entirely after zoo hours! They say,
Join us after–hours to sample beer from some of Georgia’s top breweries; jam to live music around the Zoo; compete in yard games; hang with your herd; and so much more as you’re inspired by views of some of our planet’s most amazing wildlife. Don’t miss our longest-running beer festival tradition – find out why Brew at the Zoo has been a Memorial Day weekend favorite for more than 18 years!
At the festival, you’ll be able to sample beer and wine from over 30 breweries (while supplies last), take home your very own collectible 5 oz. tasting mug for sampling, enjoy animal viewing and scheduled Keeper Talks, and enjoy live music all night long!
Oh, and enjoy a free ride on the Endangered Species Carousel & tons of food options for purchase throughout the Zoo!
