ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - For the third summer in a row, Urban Chestnut Brewing Company (UCBC) has released the official beer of the Saint Louis Zoo.
This year's can features the king penguin, a large, majestic-looking bird native to sub-Antarctic islands – which can be found in Penguin & Puffin Coast at the Zoo. For every case sold, $3 will go to the Zoo to support its animal care and conservation work.
Since creating the partnership in 2019, 2,671 cases of STL Zoo Bier have been sold, resulting in $8,013 so far donated to the Zoo by Urban Chestnut.
STL Zoo Bier, sold in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans, is a traditional, German-style Kölsch with a clean, crisp and well-rounded flavor that appeals to a wide audience, according to UCBC.
You'll be able to find it this weekend at grocery stores and beer retailers in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, and the Metro East area.
