Holiday Ale Festival
Holy Crap! How did this sneak up so quick? Beginning Thursday (11/30) this year, and running through Sunday (12/03), the Holiday Ale Fest is your chance to hang out under a tent and drink copious amounts of strong winter brew.
They'll be having special beers available on opening day (including '03 Ninkasi Wheatwine) and other specials popping up throughout the weekend.

They have special, blue, color-changing mugs this year that cost $5 in addition to the regular $4 mugs - for each $5 mug sold, $2.50 is recommended to the Children's Cancer Association. I hope everyone buys one of these.
