Since 1992 we’ve toasted the festive season with Christmas Ale, and our brewpub’s annual First Pour party is one of our merriest traditions. The unofficial holiday kickoff packs our historic brewpub with warmth, joy, and plenty of Christmas Ale pints. So many, in fact, that our bartenders pour a pint of Christmas Ale every five seconds all day long! Thank you for making us part of your own celebration. Cheers! Employee owned.
