Brew At The Zoo!
We went to Brew at the Zoo at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Here, Friends of the National Zoo's Dustin Oakley, Courtney Smith and Michelle Staudenmeier.
Guests enjoyed tastings from more than 70 craft beers, live music from The Reagan Years, animal demonstrations, popular food trucks and lawn games, a takeaway gift, and Great Cats keeper talks. Here, Friends of the National Zoo executive director Lynn Mento, Whisked Away's Lauren Owens and CoStar's Charles Owens.
The beer festival was hosted by Friends of the National Zoo in support of wildlife conservation. Three Notch'd Brewing Co's John Blomstrom, DCM Communication's D. Channing Muller and Madidus Importers and Wholesalers' Robert Gill.
Proceeds benefit the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in its mission to save species. Here, nurse Dawn Westmoreland (in pink) and Army CW2 Wes Westmoreland are flanked by Duke's Counter's Jillian Catterton, Daniel Kramer and Hannah Murray.
