Brew at the Zoo to Be Held at Franklin Park Zoo, October 1, 2011

An unusual event is returning to Boston at the beginning of October--one that will feature beer tasting at a zoo.

According to the Franklin Park Zoo's website, the second annual Brew at the Zoo will be held from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Saturday, October 1 in the zoo's Tropical Forest, which is home to such animals as lemurs, gorillas, mandrills, ocelots, free-flight birds, and a pygmy hippopotamus. The event will include stations hosted by area breweries, including Berkshire Brewing Company, Blue Hills Brewery, Clown Shoes Beer, Long Trail Brewing Company, Peak Organic Brewing Company, Watch City Brewing Co., and more. Tickets to the event cost $50 each and can be purchased at the Zoo New England site (see link below).

Franklin Park Zoo is located at One Franklin Park Road, which is just west of Blue Hill Avenue near where Dorchester and Roxbury meet.
