DRINK FOR THE ANIMALS
In July, we launched the first ever Survival Series; a limited edition beer collaboration with Griffin Claw Brewing Company and the Detroit Zoological Society. Highlighting the zoo’s work on conservation across the globe, the four beers, planned for 2019, were inspired by the zoo's work in conservation.

GREAT LAKES PIPING PLOVERS ARE TINY SHOREBIRDS THAT MAKE SHALLOW NESTS ON THE BEACHES OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN. BY 1986, 600 NESTING PAIRS HAD DWINDLED TO JUST 17. THE DETROIT ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY LEADS A FEDERAL RECOVERY PROGRAM TO HATCH ABANDONED EGGS AND REAR THE CHICKS UNTIL THEY CAN BE RELEASED TO JOIN WILD PLOVERS.

GRAUER'S GORILLAS ARE ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION, WITH FEWER THAN 3,800 LEFT IN THE WILD. THE DETROIT ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY COLLABORATES IN A WORLDWIDE INITIATIVE TO HELP THE GORILLA REHABILITATION AND CONSERVATION EDUCATION (GRACE) CENTER PROVIDE RESCUE AND REHABILITATIVE CARE FOR THESE GREAT APES TO ENSURE THEIR SURVIVAL IN THE WILD.

THE BEAUTIFUL AND LOCALLY REVERED PANAMANIAN GOLDEN FROG IS NEARLY EXTINCT AS
A RESULT OF DEFORESTATION, CAPTURE AND A DEADLY AMPHIBIAN FUNGUS. THE DETROIT ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY PARTICIPATES IN A CAPTIVE BREEDING PROGRAM THAT MAY SOMEDAY MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO RETURN THESE GOLDEN FROGS TO THE WILDS OF PANAMA. -
AT ONE TIME, ALL THE PARTULA NODOSA SNAILS IN THE WORLD LIVED AT THE DETROIT ZOO. FOR THREE DECADES, THE DETROIT ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY HAS BEEN BREEDING THIS TAHITIAN LAND SNAIL AS PART OF
A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM TO RESTORE THE WILD POPULATION, UNDERSCORING A COMMITMENT TO CONSERVING EVEN THE TINIEST OF CREATURES.

After months of anticipating, the beer was ready to come off the line and onto the shelves.
