Beer, experience, and the Big Five: anniversary edition of Brew@theZoo at Beekse Bergen
19-03-2026Hilvarenbeek – Brew@theZoo returns to Safaripark Beekse Bergen on Friday, June 26, and Saturday, June 27, 2026. Five years after its very first edition, the anniversary will be celebrated with a special Big Five-themed edition.
During these summer evenings, more than sixty breweries will present over 350 beers. From refreshing wheat beers to characterful IPAs and alcohol-free options, there is something for every beer enthusiast to discover. As in previous years, the event is organized in collaboration with Royal Swinkels.
Visitors can enjoy not only specialty beers but also the full safari experience. A ticket includes access to the park after closing time, including the walking, bus, and boat safaris. Brewers and food trucks can be found at multiple locations throughout the park, alongside live music and entertainment such as beer sommelier sessions.
Raising a glass for a good cause
As in previous years, visitors to Brew@theZoo indirectly contribute to an international conservation project. This year, Beekse Bergen will donate €1 from every ticket sold to Save the Rhino, a foundation dedicated to securing the future of rhinos in the wild. Visitors can also make additional contributions during the event by donating tokens. Previous editions raised impressive amounts: in 2025, €12,788 was collected for the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.
“With the support of our visitors, we are able to invest each year in projects that help protect endangered animal species. That makes Brew@theZoo not only a fun night out, but also a way to give something back to nature.”
— Rens Willemsen, General Manager
