I was contacted recently and was given information on a event happening this weekend called "Drink the District's Hampton Roads Beer Fest" .

Sounds like a good excuse to have a drink to me! Seriously though, I'm glad the Virginia Zoo will be getting some exposure and the brewery line-up is pretty sweet. There will be over 75 beers and a couple ciders to sample. Check out the list below:
