Brews at the Zoo: Try a Craft Beer in Big Cat Country

Have a lager with a lion or leopard, tip one with a tiger, in annual beer-tasting at the Milwaukee County Zoo.

 

Frothy beer, fun food and ferocious big felines – that will be the scene Thursday at Zoo Brew, the Zoological Society of Milwaukee’s annual beer-tasting fundraiser.

You can snap photos of people mingling, munching and imbibing as exotic felines saunter in the background. There will be beers from more than 20 breweries and at least 16 food vendors. This fundraiser helps support the 2012-2013 Zoo Society’s annual appeal.

What: Zoo Brew, a ZSM beer-tasting fundraiser.

When: 7 to 10 p.m. Thursday (the Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country building closes at 9:30 p.m.).

Where: Milwaukee County Zoo, 10001 W. Blue Mound Rd., Milwaukee, WI 53226.

Where in the Zoo: U.S. Bank Gathering Place (entrance atrium), the Peck Welcome Center and the Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country building.

Details: Event features dozens of beers and snacks for sampling and, most photogenic of all, people enjoying themselves in front of exotic big cats in the Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country building.

Best time for photos: 7 to 9 p.m. in the Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country building.

I dislike so much sarcasm in one post. Why not just come out and say something directly?

Steve, I have friends and co-workers whose political leanings vary from far right to far left andRead More everything in between. I certainly wouldn't make decisions "on their future" simply based on whether or not they signed a petition. I value the input I receive from my exposure to their varying viewpoints. It seems awfully petty and shortsighted to base so many decisions on one factor. When I hire an employee, political opinions are not important to me - credentials, experience, work ethic, that's what I look for; I am interested in hiring a competent person, not someone who simply shares my political leanings. You frequently tout yourself as a "producer" - of what, I don't know. Since you so strongly support the idea of making decisions on the litmus test of whether or not someone supports or opposes Governor Walker, I suggest that you let everyone know the name of your company and what you produce. That way, people who share your ideals can support your business and those that don't can make an educated decision as to whether or not they want to work with you.

One battle lost is not the end of the war. Walker has proven to be the biggest loser that this stateRead More has ever seen. We are almost last in every catagory and if your married with daughters all your thier rights have been taken away by your God. Remember when you and Walker take your place in hell the dead will some day walk the earth again.
