Lions, Tigers and Beers: Thousands Flock to Lincoln Park Zoo's First-Ever BeerFest

A Saturday Lincoln Park Zoo event gave attendees exclusive access to the zoo as well as their pick of more than 60 craft beers and several food trucks.

Crowds packed the Lincoln Park Zoo grounds on Saturday where they not only had late-night access to all the exhibits but seemingly never ending access to more than 60 craft beers.

LivingSocial's BeerFest also featured live music, DJs, lawn games, beer tips from master brewers and some of the best food trucks around.

Among showcased beers were 5 Rabbit, Abita, Finch's, Bells, New Belgium and Lake Effect Brewing, to name a few. Forever Yogurt, Taquero Fusion and The Slide Ride, along with many others, were on hand for food.
