Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la…

Or as we like to say ‘Tis the season to enjoy a pint.

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good pint during the holiday season. We’re pretty sure even the Grinch pops open a beer from time to time. What we love now is that every season comes with its’ beer, and the holiday season is no exception.
