Whether purchased at local bars, restaurants, supermarkets, liquor stores, or Zoo Miami, 2 percent of proceeds from every Tropical Bay IPA can sold is being donated directly to Zoo Miami Foundation to support flamingo conservation efforts, wildlife research, educational programming, and habitat preservation across Florida.<\/p>\n<p>More than a partnership, the initiative represents a shared commitment to preserving one of the state\u2019s most iconic species while encouraging the community to support local businesses and local wildlife with every purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Once found in the thousands throughout Florida, flamingos were driven from the state in the 1800s due to overhunting for their feathers and meat. Taking up residence in Mexico, Cuba, the Bahamas, and other islands in the Caribbean, they were only occasional migrants to Florida during the past nearly two centuries, until now. Today, thanks to Everglades restoration efforts and ongoing conservation initiatives, flamingos are making a remarkable comeback and once again are establishing themselves in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis partnership is about more than beer; it\u2019s about celebrating what makes Miami unique and protecting it for the future,\u201d said Sven Sommer of Biscayne Bay Brewing. \u201cTropical Bay was inspired by the color, energy, and tropical lifestyle of South Florida, so aligning it with flamingo conservation felt like a natural extension of that story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bright, tropical, and brewed for easy enjoyment, Tropical Bay IPA has become a local favorite across South Florida. With this partnership, everyone can now carry a deeper purpose, helping fund real conservation work that protects flamingos in Florida and beyond.<br \/>Beyond fundraising, the collaboration also will spotlight educational initiatives led by the Zoo Miami Foundation, raising awareness of flamingo populations, their habitats, and their role in Florida\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlamingos are one of the most iconic symbols of Florida,\u201d the brewery added. \u201cThis is our way of giving that symbol real support, not just as an image, but as a living species that deserves protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2012, Biscayne Bay Brewing has built its identity around celebrating Miami through craft beer, while maintaining strong ties to the local community. From sports partnerships to neighborhood- driven collaborations, the brewery continues to champion initiatives that reflect the culture and character of the city it calls home.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers can find Biscayne Bay Brewing\u2019s Tropical Bay IPA at Zoo Miami and select South Florida retailers such as Publix, Trader Joes, WholeFoods, Target, Fresh Market, Milam\u2019s, Total Wine, and more.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit Biscayne Bay Brewing\u2019s official website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biscaynebaybrewing.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.biscaynebaybrewing.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT US:<\/p>\n<p>For more Miami community news, look no further than Miami Community Newspapers.
