Brew at the Zoo will be virtual again this year
–The Charles Paddock Zoo is gearing up for another fun-filled, virtual beer festival for this year’s Brew at the Zoo at Home Fest, to be held on Saturday, April 24, 2021 from 12:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now, while supplies last, and the last day to purchase tickets is Wednesday, April 14.
Since large, in-person gatherings still aren’t possible due to current COVID-19 safety guidelines, and because the last virtual event in September was so much fun for everyone, the zoo is planning another virtual beer festival for April 24. This virtual event will showcase many of the unique animals and conservation efforts of the Charles Paddock Zoo, along with the artisan craft breweries that can be found in Atascadero, San Luis Obispo County, and California.
Attendees will enjoy behind-the-scenes animal tours with knowledgeable and experienced zookeepers, learning about each of the 14 artisan beverages included in the “Brew Masters” pack, and grooving to fun tunes from local bands, like Bear Market Riot.
Here is how it works: Once your ticket has been purchased, you will receive your 14-pack containing 12 oz. & 16 oz. craft beers, no later than Thursday, April 22. During the week prior to the event, you will be sent a link to the festival that will enable you to tune-in on Saturday, April 24 at 12:30 p.m. to experience a fantastic event live from the Charles Paddock Zoo. All proceeds from this event will benefit the ongoing conservation and educational efforts of the Charles Paddock Zoo and the Friends of the Charles Paddock Zoo.
Regular tickets are $65 each plus a small ticket service charge, which includes shipping/delivery. VIP tickets are $90 each plus a small ticket service fee, and includes shipping/delivery, plus a commemorative Brew at the Zoo T-shirt, and two general admission tickets to the zoo to use for your next visit. Tickets are available at VisitAtascadero.com/Brew-at-the-Zoo.
Current ticket holders for the original in-person event will be honored for the virtual event on April 24. For ticket holders that would like a refund or if you have any questions, please contact Terrie Banish, at (805) 470-3490 or email tbanish@atascadero.org.
