'Brews at the Zoo' is back in 2022.

It's an annual fundraiser at the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington that benefits the non-profit arm of the zoo, the Zoological Society. Superintendent Jay Tetzloff says that before the pandemic, it's going to be a two-night event.

'Brews at the Zoo' offers those that attend to try out all sorts of beers from all over central Illinois and even the Midwest. Tetzloff indicates there are also some unique to the event animal encounters.

'Brews at the Zoo' is among several events the Zoological Society hosts including the annual spring 'Stampede 5K' run as well as Zoodoo in the fall. Tetzloff says he works with the Zoological Society on how to best utilize the funds they raise.

Tetzloff also touts the atmosphere of the zoo after hours. He indicates you'll find there are animals that are much more active as the sun goes down and sets.
