What we’re about
Our Group is for older and retired professionals over the age of 50 more or less to gather, drink beer or other spirits when available at a different brewery, taproom or wine bar each week, talk about the universe and solve the world's problems, and generally just socialize and enjoy the company of joyful and diverse people in a similar age group.
Open to Boomers, Gen Xers, and other grown ups!

### About Urban Animal Beer Co
This is the part of the website where we’re supposed to post our corporate branding exercise and make it sound like we’ve really got our poop in a group. I guess I could sit here and tell you how our goal is to make great beer and how we love beer and beer culture and all of that would absolutely be true. I could tell you about all the years devoted to pursuing the perfection of our craft and how we never compromise when it comes to our love of making things our customers love, and again I’d be telling the truth. The problem is, I feel like all of those things should be a given.
Anyone that gets to the point of opening a brewery is 1) an absolute nutcase and b) completely crazy in love with beer! So yes, I promise the beer is excellent and the taproom is a really fun and interesting place to hang out. I promise that we’ll never stop evolving and taking chances in order to keep things interesting, even if it means we might fall short sometimes. I also promise that we’ll always be an approachable, empathic brewery who aims to give back to our amazing community. This is a commitment born of shared loves and broad overlaps.
We are beer professionals, but ultimately we’re just a bunch of beer loving Urban Animals figuring it all out in real time just like you! So I hope you’ll come on down, grab a cold one and maybe we can figure it all out together. - Mexico City Holy Week Jacarandas Food Bike Active Xochimilco Frida Casa AzulNuevo Leon 50 (in front of Parque España), México City
