Brewfest is the Utica Zoo’s annual beer tasting event that takes place right here on zoo grounds.

There are more than 120 craft beers, ciders, seltzers, and malt beverages on tap for you to enjoy. Enjoy wine samples and wine slushies, too! The first 3,000 attendees will receive a commemorative 2022 Brewfest pint glass.

Tickets INCLUDE beer, cider, and wine samples, a pint glass, admission to the zoo, live music, and food samples. While here you can also participate in a silent auction where you can bid on and win electronics, gift certificates, lawn & garden equipment, jewelry, and more! Around the zoo, you will also find complimentary water and soda available for all attendees.

Brewfest is a 21 & over ONLY event and you must have a ticket and photo ID to enter (even for Designated Drivers). Brewfest is rain or shine. Several large tents and pavilions are available in the event of inclement weather.

ALL proceeds from Brewfest benefit the animals of the Utica Zoo!

Stay tuned for more updates, additions, and all things Brewfest!
