Brew at the Zoo is back, and this year Naples Zoo and Riptide Brewery have a specific focus: saving scientific data.
This year’s event is a bit modified from previous years as money raised will help replace seven trail cameras stolen earlier this year from the Big Cypress National Preserve.
“Generally what we’ve done is raise money that went to the zoo that was earmarked for panther conservation,” Riptide General Manager and Beertender Chris Johnson said. “This year we decided to opt to replace the cameras. The data that has been lost really causes an issue with research on the neurological issue that the panthers are having trouble with.”

Pockets of fans totaling about 1,600 were strewn throughout the amphitheater, which typically accommodates around 4,800.
But these aren’t normal times, and the red-hot 28-year-old jamgrass wunderkind was all smiles. The show, which capped a three-night, socially distanced, sold-out run at the venue, was a triumph. For the first time since the pandemic began, Strings played to fans in stands – not in their cars or on their couches. And he’d sold 4,847 tickets to the tune of $215,180, the third-highest grossing box office report of his young career, per
