What can I expect at ZooBrew?
ZooBrew is an adult-only, after-hours fun environment. It's your chance to see the zoo in a completely different way. The best way to experience ZooBrew is to: purchase brew-exclusive food and beverages, buy brew-exclusive art made by Hogle Zoo’s resident animals, and learn how to support the zoo’s conservation initiatives.
