TOY DRIVE & SANTA PHOTOS
Santa’s making an early stop in Ballard this year to help collect toys for Wellspring Family Services, which has a mission to end family homelessness. On Tuesday, December 10th we’re hosting a special Gratituesday to benefit this local nonprofit.
All day long, $1 from every pint or tasting flight sold will be donated to Wellspring. We’ll also be collecting unwrapped toys at the taproom. So swing through Ballard with a gift, order a pint of Reuben Claus, and then grab your free photo with the jolly old elf in
front of the brewhouse from 6 – 8:00 p.m.
NEW HOLIDAY BEERS
We’re excited to release another batch of festive beers at both of our taprooms this weekend, which will join the other holiday selections in our to-go coolers. So if you’re wondering what to pair with gift wrapping, holiday baking, or merry making, try these!
For strong beer fans, we’ve got Big Ol’ Gingerbread, a chewy Imperial Stout that captures the essence of its namesake with ginger, vanilla, and a variety of baking spices. IPA drinkers, meanwhile, might like Holiday Haze, a recipe we created by adding cinnamon and a hint of vanilla to our flagship hazy IPA. And then there’s Reuben Claus, a seasonal take on Robust Porter brewed with cacao nibs and peppermint that we release annually.
GIFTS FOR THE BEER LOVER
Still looking for something to give the beer enthusiast on your list? Our taprooms in Ballard and Fremont have all kinds of seasonal merchandise in stock, including cozy hoodies, colorful Christmas sweaters, custom glassware, and plenty of beer. Or, if you can’t decide, we also have gift cards that can be filled to any amount you’d like.
SHOP WHILE YOU SIP
We’ve teamed up with I Heart Indie Markets and a few of our Ballard neighbors again this year for a fun Saturday that combines a taproom crawl with a makers market.
Visit us on December 7th from 1 – 6:00 p.m. to sip and shop from 11 different Seattle area vendors. Then stick around after you’ve finished shopping. Holiday beers will be flowing, and our kitchen will be serving up delicious pub fare to pair with them!
GIVE YOURSELF A BONUS
Need to fill up your fridge for a holiday party? Purchase any of our Everyday Favorites (Crikey, Hazealicious, Pilsner, Robust Porter, Crushable, Crispytown, Little Fox, and Stay Frosty) by the case or the keg at either one of our taprooms and receive a gift card.
Get a $10 gift card when you buy a case from us in Ballard or Fremont, or a $20 gift card with a keg purchase (Ballard only). This offer ends Tuesday, December 31st.
DON’T MISS THIS EVENT
