Zoo Brew Series to Feature New Limited Edition Beers From Zipline Brewing Co.

Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium (www.OmahaZoo.com/Zoo-Brew-Series) and Zipline Brewing Co. (ziplinebrewing.com) are partnering for a Zoo Brew Series, consisting of four limited edition beers, to begin launching in July. Each beer will focus on conservation efforts of a different animal species, with proceeds directly supporting field conservation projects around the globe.

Red Panda Wheat, brewed with red wheat and bamboo shoots (a favorite food of red pandas), is the first beer in the series to be introduced. Launching at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium’s Brew at the Zoo event on July 14, proceeds from Red Panda Wheat will support red panda conservation in Asia. Specifically, by replanting bamboo food sources and providing economic alternatives and educational programs to people living in red panda habitats. Three other beers will follow throughout the remainder of 2018 and into 2019. Among those slated for release are an India Pale Ale produced exclusively with hard to find South African hops.

“Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is truly one of our state’s great institutions,” said Tom Wilmoth, co-founder of Zipline Brewing Co. “Its mission of conservation, research, recreation and education is fully in line with values we hold closely as a brewery. We relish the opportunity to work with the Zoo and to help engage its members to raise awareness of the needs of these animals.”

The Zoo Brew Series will be available for purchase at Zipline Brewing Co., as well as multiple retail outlets in the Zipline distribution territory.
