Take a trip to the tropics with Conservatory of Flowers' beer garden series.

Botanicals and Brews is back in action, hosted at the iconic wood-and-glass greenhouse on Friday evenings. Experience the institution as never before—after dark when nightfall shows the living museum in a striking new light.

Every third Friday from spring through summer and fall, the Conservatory transforms into a beer garden where guests can discover the unique tropical plant collection through the lens of craft brews. The Bay Area's finest craft brew masters set up shop, telling tall tales of botanical brewing. Claim a picnic table and soak up the breathtaking views of the Conservatory and its valley, or sip the night away in the galleries. On select nights, host brewers will serve up special brews inspired by the Conservatory.

This year's series also includes a new experience: an exclusive tasting featuring acclaimed host breweries. Perfect for beer lovers, guided flights by expert craft beer makers will explore the varieties and flavors of craft beer.

Purchase tickets for April's Botanicals and Brews with Harmonic and Barrel Brothers on April 19th. Find more information and the complete lineup at conservatoryofflowers.org.
