CINCINNATI – A clink of the mug for Fiona, the hippo who was born prematurely at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Listermann Brewing says it’s naming a new beer in her honor.
They say Team Fiona is a New England-style IPA. The hippo’s care team helped brew the beer and the brewing company says 25 percent of the beer sales proceeds is being donated to the zoo’s care team.
The brewing company describes the beer as having a soft mouth feel, hazy appearance with a fruit-juice flavor.
Fiona was born at the zoo in January, weighing just 29 pounds. Now she’s more than 100 pounds and will soon be moved to a group of hippos at the zoo that includes her parents.
