Brew at the Zoo adds BBQ

No, not barbequed zoo animals.  (At least we hope not.)

The Brew at the Zoo and Wine, Too, the annual charity fundraiser for the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore's Druid Hill Park, has added the option (for 200 folks per day maximum) of a VIP experience complete with early admission and barbeque meals prepared by sponsor Famous Dave's.

The event is May 28th and 29th, and tickets for adult drinkers range from $30 regular admission for Maryland Zoo members to $75 for BBQ/early admission for non-members; discounted admissions for designated drivers and those under 21 are also available.  Go to the Maryland Zoo website for details and tickets. Tickets include admission to the Zoo as well all day from 10 AM to 4 PM.

We should emphasize that, although this is an excellent event in an attractive setting, this is less a "craft beer" event than it is simply a nice beer-related day out.  You're not going to find cask beers, or brewers promoting their more exotic offerings.
