Cheers to the tiger: Brew at the Zoo kicks off this April 28 at the Charles Paddock Zoo in A-Town, and it promises to have teeth. You can expect a sampling of craft breweries, wine, and cider (plus, monkeys, birds, reptiles, and all the other critters housed at the facility). Attendees will receive a collectible beer glass for tastings—plus there’s live music and entertainment in store. No need to eat beforehand: Nosh on barbecue, tamales, sliders, and garlic fries (visitatascadero.com) … Bristols Cider House is hoppin’ this spring. Check the calendar for music and events coming up, including The Stellar Duo, playing April 28. Slurp down a range of crisp, English inspired hard ciders and don’t forget to attend the Central Coast Cider Festival, slated for May 12 at the Atascadero Lake Park. Δ
