Available in bottle, cask and beer box, the copper-coloured pale ale is bursting with fruity, hoppy character, with a citrus twist. Five per cent of proceeds will go to wildlife conservation.
Funky Monkey is the latest in a long line-up of limited-edition ‘animal’ ales brewed in partnership with Paignton Zoo. These have raised more than £27,000 for endangered species to date.
This charity ale marks the zoo’s latest plans for Hamadryas Hill, a new home for its troop of baboons, which will allow visitors to see them inside and out.
“We brewed our very first charity brew with Paignton Zoo back in 2013, and are delighted to be teaming up once again in 2024 with a beer inspired by its cheekiest animal residents,” said Bays Brewery director Peter Salmon.
“Funky Monkey will be available for sale on our online shop and at Paignton Zoo’s Island Restaurant, as well as restaurants and shops across Devon from 6th May, so we urge beer lovers to go bananas and raise a toast to a brilliant animal conservation cause.”
Paignton Zoo events and corporate relationship manager, Katie White, added: “We are thrilled to be working with Bays again for another zoo-themed guest ale. Our partnership with this local business has proved immensely valuable in raising vital funds for our charitable mission to help halt species decline.”
