Hold Onto Your Brews! Brew at the Zoo Returns July 18

Before they go extinct, snag your tickets to this year’s dinosaur-themed Brew at the Zoo — an all-you-can-drink craft beer event July 18 from 6-9 p.m.

Hosted by Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ) at Smithsonian’s National Zoo, the fest will feature nearly 70 breweries, all providing the best pours in town to support wildlife conservation. Local favorites, such as Port City Brewing Company and 2018 RAMMY Award winner Right Proper Brewing Company, will be joined by popular microbreweries, including Denizens Brewing Company and Hellbender Brewing Company.

Guests will enjoy dino entertainment, including epic Jurassic stilt walkers. Expect delicious food for purchase on-site from some of D.C.’s most popular food trucks, and great music by Baltimore quintet The Shrapnels, in addition to brew-friendly yard games.

  • General admission tickets: $50 for FONZ members and $65 for nonmembers
  • VIP tickets: $110 for FONZ members and $125 for nonmembers (VIP ticket holders will be granted early admission to the general event area at 5 p.m.)

Proceeds from Brew at the Zoo benefit FONZ’s mission to help the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute save species.
