Something cold, refreshing, and eco-friendly is brewing at the Santa Barbara Zoo (sbzoo.org<\/a>) this summer. Sales of Zoo Brew, a custom California pale ale produced by Ventura Coast Brewing Company (vcbc.beer<\/a>), have already exceeded expectations, says zoo culinary programs manager Emily Largey. While the zoo gets the profits, the beer serves an even more\u00a0<\/span>important role as a vehicle to educate adults about animal conservation efforts. \u201cLearning isn\u2019t just for the kids,\u201d Largey says. \u201cThe conservation messaging on the first can is \u2018Drink beer, save wildlife.\u2019 Each season we\u2019ll roll out a new beer and a new label featuring an endangered or protected animal at the zoo.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
