CAPITAL BREWERY SUPPORTS BAT CONSERVATION
Monday, October 19, 2015

    SPECIAL EVENT ON OCTOBER 30, 2015 AT 5PM IN THE CAPITAL BREWERY BIER STUBE

    Middleton, WI – Want to see some real bats on Halloween eve? Bats and a special “Bat-oberfest” brew will be on tap Oct. 30 as Capital Brewery Co., Inc. hosts a Halloween party to raise awareness and money for work to conserve Wisconsin bats.

    The Capital Brewery Bier Stube, 7734 Terrace Ave., Middleton, opens at 3pm on the 30th and the party starts at 5pm. Beverages and snacks will be available for purchase and costumes are encouraged. This is a 21 and over event. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

    A portion of proceeds from the sale of “Bat-Oberfest’ beer at the Oct. 30 party, and from sales October 25 to 31 in the Capital Brewery Bier Stube, will be donated to the Wisconsin Bat Conservation Fund.

    A special showing of the film ‘Battle for Bats’, documenting the race against the clock to save bats from white-nose syndrome will be featured. The deadly disease does not affect people but has killed up to 6 million bats in the eastern United States since 2006 and is closing in on Wisconsin bats. Two straw-colored fruit bats and a native big brown bat will be in attendance.

    “Bats are a big part of Halloween fun and this party is a way people can learn more about bats and give back to them,” says Paul White, who leads DNR’s bat program. “Bats need our help more than ever, and we appreciate the partnership with Capital Brewery and the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin to offer people a great way to help a great cause.”

    “Bat-oberfest” is the sixth installment in Capital’s Sustainability Series of beer offerings.
