ZOObrew, presented by Byron’s Liquor Warehouse, returns to the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden for its 17th year of craft beer, spirits, wine, and non-alcoholic beverage tastings to benefit wildlife conservation on Friday, September 26, 2025. The fan-favorite fundraiser, produced by the Oklahoma Zoological Society (OZS), ZOObrew is Oklahoma City’s largest outdoor craft beer festival. This 21-and-older event includes unlimited beverage sampling, carousel rides, animal enrichment activities, and caretaker chats.

ZOObrew runs from 6 to 9 p.m., but for those who want to start early there are a limited number of PREbrew tickets, which include early access at 4 p.m., food from PREbrew food stations, a limited-edition T-shirt, tasting mug, swag bag, and access to animal enrichments and feeding encounters for flamingos, honey badgers, Galapagos tortoises, and giraffes.

This year introduces a new tier of experiences with Safari Speakeasy tickets, which includes all the PREbrew benefits as well as access to The Baobab Lodge Speakeasy Lounge for one of three top-shelf beverage tastings. The Baobab Lodge is the Zoo’s new event space overlooking the African savanna and includes multiple bedrooms and bathrooms for overnight experiences inside the Zoo. Safari Speakeasy ticket holders have access to curated hors d’oeuvres and an hour of premium beverage samplings. Tequila tastings are from 5 to 6 p.m., whiskey tastings from 6 to 7 p.m., and red wine tastings from 7 to 8 p.m.
