Birmingham Zoo Turns Annual Beer Festival into Socially Distant Beer Tasting
T
his year’s Zoo Brews – dubbed Drafts at a Distance – took place Sept. 25 with social distancing measures in place. The event originally was set to take place June 27, but it was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Samples of craft beers provided by Alabama Crown featured breweries from across the state and the Southeast. In addition, food trucks from Full Moon BarB-Que and Pazzo Big Slice were onsite. Guests donated a penny for each pour of beer, with all of the pennies donated going to the zoo’s Emergency Animal Fund. ❖
