There are a lot of beer festivals in the Tampa Bay area but none quite like WaZoo. Named one of the “10 Great Beer Festivals in the Country” by USA Today, Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo's 20th Annual WaZoo Beer Festival Fundraiser returns on Saturday, August 1st for a fun filled night of craft beer, food, and festivities.

This all-inclusive tropical tasting will feature Zoo-wide samplings of more than 275 beers and beverages from around the world, great food from the Tampa Bay area's favorite restaurants and fantastic live music.

Even if you're not a beer aficionado, WaZoo is a tropical taste explosion.  Presented by JJ Taylor Distributing of Florida, WaZoo features hundreds of brews and beverages, tasty bits of local cuisine, and live entertainment sponsored by World of Beer.

There are two ways to WaZoo.  The first is a general admission ticket which includes entrance to the event at 7:30pm and all-inclusive access to drinks, food and entertainment.  Early bird general admission tickets are on sale now for $60 and $40 for a non-drinking, designated driver ticket.

The second option is the Beastly Beverage Club (BBC) VIP ticket.  This includes early access to the VIP BBC event at 6:30pm, a WaZoo Souvenir Beer Tasting Mug, Animal Encounters with Zoo Ambassadors AND access to the Safari Lodge, the only air conditioned space at the event which features its own live music, seating areas, exclusive beer tastings and restaurant samplings.  Early bird Beastly Beverage Club tickets are on sale now for $100 each and $75 for a non-drinking, designated driver ticket.

Drink Beer. Save Wildlife. See you at WaZoo!
