(BRIDGEPORT, CT) A new collaboration is on tap as the zoo once again join forces with Foolproof Brewing Company to release Beardsley Brew 2. This year’s limited-edition beer is a crisp Japanese-style rice lager that pairs local craftsmanship with a passion for wildlife conservation.
​
Following the success of the original Beardsley Brew, this flight brings together two Bridgeport favorites for a beer that truly gives back. The limited-edition label features a striking hand-sketched red panda by Connecticut artist Joey Visco, honoring one of the Zoo’s most beloved species. Playful and curious, red pandas are a guest favorite at Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo and serve as ambassadors for endangered wildlife around the world.

​“This collaboration is such a great example of what happens when community and conservation come together,” said Dr. Jim Wharton, CEO of Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo. “Every can represents the passion of our partners, the dedication of our Zoo family, and our extended family of supporters who believe in protecting wildlife. We’re proud to raise a glass with Foolproof Brewing and invite the community to join us!”
