12 Beers of Christmas December 1–12
It’s a drinking challenge disguised as a bar crawl. Four venues—Beveridge Place Pub, Naked City Brewery and Taphouse, the Pine Box, and the Beer Authority—will each put three craft winter beers on tap for the first 12 days of the month. Make your rounds and obtain punch-card proof that you consumed all 12 and you’ll be entered in a drawing for some serious prizes, including a ski weekend. Even if you don’t win…you did get to drink all those beers. nakedcitybrewing.com/culture/12-beers-christmas
