Bristol Brewing Christmas Ale Release Party

Join us for this year's batch of Christmas Ale while donning your Gnarliest Holiday Garb! We brew up a tasty batch of our spiced Christmas ale annually to celebrate this most festive of seasons. We use a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, molasses, and love, to put a cheery winter carnival in every pint. This Brewhouse Beer recipe was crafted by our own Bob Archibald. When he's not pouring beer at Bristol, Bob is an avid homebrewer. Also, join us for our 2nd Annual Gnarly Holiday Garb Pageant. We will award prizes to the men and women with the ugliest, tackiest, gnarliest and just plain wrong holiday attire. Now is the time to hit up your Great Aunt Edna, the prolific knitter, for an atrocious ensemble. Prizes include beer for a year, t-shirts and other Bristolicious schwag. We look forward to sharing an evening of deliciously festive beer and gnarly attire with you!

5pm-10pm | Bristol Brewing Company
