Zoo offers Q & Brew

Chattanooga Zoo will serve up two staples of summer in the South on Saturday with its first Q & Brew at the Zoo. The family-friendly event promises barbecue and beer tastings with a side of bluegrass.

Scheduled from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Q & Brew will feature the talents of Chattanooga-area pitmasters, a variety of beers from Carter Distributing (as well as other beverages) and the music of Mountain Cove Bluegrass.

“The South is known for having great barbecue, so we thought a Q & Brew would let folks showcase their talents in a fun and unique setting while enjoying some brews and listening to great live music,” said Darde Long, executive director.

Adult tickets are $10 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets for children ages 4-12 are $5 in advance and $10 at the door.

Tickets are available online at www.chattzoo.org (buy in advance through midnight tonight) and at the zoo, 301 N. Holtzclaw Ave. Regular hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

For more information, call 697-1322.
