Drinkin' with the Animals

Drinking with a bunch of animals is apparently very popular. I'm not talking about your fraternity/sorority days of standing around the cheap keg of the week with plastic cup in hand. I'm referring to the popularity of Brew at the Zoo and in some cases wine too, events. Just doing a quick search brings up a variety of towns that promote wandering the zoo pathways while sampling a variety of beers. It's a chance to feel good (not from the abv%) while you consume. In most cases your dollars go to support the zoo or to a charitable cause.
