Cheers to Conservation…
We’re saying ‘Cheers to Conservation’ with a new zoo brew!
Summer beer gardens are filling up and the warm weather is getting everyone in the school holiday spirit. So, what could be better than sipping on a cold pint or can of a deliciously refreshing pale ale from Tenby Brewing Company? How about one that also helps the conservation of animals and wildlife with every purchase?
We’ve partnered up with local brewery Tenby Brewing Company on a brand new ‘Zoo Brew’ that raises funds for conservation! 20 pence from the sale of each Macaroni penguin-themed ‘MonoBräu’ pale ale, is being kindly donated by the awesome team at Tenby Brewing Company, to support the work of the our conservation partners.
The name of this delicious new ale, is a nod to the yellow crest feathers or “monobrow” for which the Macaroni penguin is famed for. But broken down, ‘Mono’ refers to the beer’s single hop and ‘Brau’ is the German for brew!
“We’re so proud to be partnering with Tenby Brewery to help raise vital funds and awareness for wildlife conservation.
Jack, Conservation officer
By bringing people together through this collaboration, we’re giving our community a simple way to support the protection of threatened species and the habitats they depend on,
helping to secure a future for wildlife around the world”
“When the team at Folly Farm got in touch about the possibility of collaborating on a beer with conservation in mind, we jumped at the chance!
rob faulkner, tenby brewing co.
We got our heads together and discussed a wide range of recipe options, finally settling on a crowd-pleasing Session Pale Ale featuring the iconic hop Citra.
“We’re really proud of how the brew turned out, MonoBräu is refreshing, light and easy drinking with notes of Citrus fruit and a balanced hop bitterness”.
There are two species of penguin currently residing at our Penguin Coast enclosure, including a mixed colony of 26 Humboldt and 12 Macaroni penguins. You may already be aware that we’re now the only collection in the UK to hold Macaroni penguins!
We’ve always been passionate about conservation and sustainability, and frequently engage with various communities through local sponsorships, fundraising events and charitable donations. We also support the work of some amazing conservation organisations who are helping animals in the wild.
Our conservation partners include Wildlife Vets International, Safina Lion Conservation, Sphenisco, Red Panda Network, Helping Rhinos, and lots more. From tracking lions to health checking wild populations of animals, these in-situ conservation projects rely on donations to continue their vital work – and we raise funds in a number of ways to help support them. Efforts include holding donations boxes on site, donations from the sale of animal adoption gift packs, and various event days such as our ‘Dung Detective’ workshops, ‘Mini Vets’ sessions and animal awareness day celebrations such as World Lion Day coming up in August.
And now thanks to this most recent collaboration with the Tenby Brewing Company, locals and holiday makers alike can also help support these conservation efforts when visiting us, or when popping in for a drink at select Pembrokeshire outlets, through the purchase of MonoBräu pale ale!
