San Diego Zoo: Home to the Largest Koala Colony Outside of Australia
Since 1925, the San Diego Zoo has housed the largest koala colony outside of Australia and China, currently housing 21 koalas. It’s also home to one of the most successful breeding programs outside of Australia. Most recently, San Diego’s efforts towards protecting koalas have increased, especially after wildfires in Australia, which were a major cause of their endangered status because they burned much of their habitat and natural resources. Several factors contributed to these fires’ impact: before them, koalas faced drought, land clearing, and disease, but the Black Summer fires were blamed for their official listing as endangered. As of 2026, the Australian government still lists koalas as endangered, and conservation efforts remain critical.

91X Beer for Breakfast: The Original 40 Brewing
Somehow, in a neighborhood flush with breweries producing every style under the sun, a University Avenue brewpub continues to standout behind high-quality beers. That business is The Original 40 Brewing, a seven-year-old brewpub headed by Kyle Fjalstad, the former director of Modern Times Beer‘s vaunted barrel-aged beer program, whose next chapter finds him crafting nearly every style of ale and lager under the sun. In this episode of Beer for Breakfast, the crew checks out his latest West Coast IPA, Lumber Support, as well as his first-ever single-barrel pastry stout, a creation called Disk Crash that spent 60 months in rye whiskey barrels before being released in cans earlier this month.
