The event features a double brewery collaboration between longtime Naples Zoo partner Riptide Brewing Company and Kaleidoscope Beer Co. that now operates at Riptide's former location at 987 3rd Ave N in Naples. “Kaleidoscope Beer Company is thrilled to help with this project and carry on the tradition of boosting awareness for panther conservation!” said Bill Vaughan, Kaleidoscope founder. “The collaboration with Riptide is a thrilling chapter in this enduring project.” No tickets needed!

The event features a double brewery collaboration with two limited-edition panther-themed beers:

Corridor: Florida Panther Pub Ale – an all-new easy-drinking English-style ale brewed by Riptide at their Bonita location, celebrating the Florida Wildlife Corridor that is critical for the recovery of the Florida panther.
Uno Ale – a returning fan favorite - this bright, citrusy American pale ale brewed by Kaleidoscope, honors Uno, the blind panther once cared for by Naples Zoo who is featured in the short-format documentary available at www.thefloridapanther.org.

For every pint sold, $2 goes to Naples Zoo’s efforts benefiting wild panthers. More support comes from 4-pack can sales, Corridor shirts, Uno Ale koozies, and the “Bid Now” auction with one-of-a-kind panther art and VIP Zoo experiences. Stop by for hourly giveaways of Zoo tickets, food from Old Florida Way Pizza Co. and Cusineria, and a chance to chat with Naples Zoo about panthers and get your www.panthercrossing.org diamond decal.

Drink Beer & Go Volunteer: Just one week later, to keep the conservation momentum going, the Florida State Parks Foundation and Live Wildly will host “Explore the Corridor Week” from April 26-May 3. The event will offer a variety of volunteer and other outdoor activities aimed at protecting habitat for Florida’s panthers and other wildlife. “We believe that people protect what they love and Explore the Corridor Week gives people the chance to get outside and fall in love with Wild Florida,” said Lisa Shipley, CEO of Live Wildly, a non-profit dedicated to raising public awareness for the importance of Wildlife Corridor conservation.
