Chicago Craft Beer Weekend, December 3-5
It’a a rare weekend in which I seem to have almost as many events scheduled for Sunday as for the other two days.

During our celebration the Environmental Encroachment Marching Band will be performing a Krampus Run ritual through the taproom to make sure he skips your house!
While we distract the demon, enjoy our holiday brews, Krampbiscus and Holihaze, poured into some sexy glassware that you can keep by paying an extra few bucks. You will also be entered into a raffle to win some Krampus Gift packs and other swag when you buy one of these festive ales. We will also tap some dark beers, some beasts of barrel aged goodness like Revolution 10 Year Beer and Cafe Deth on draft. And you bloody minded folks can enjoy our Krampbiscus Micheladas made with Big Mitch mix..
While yer evading the goat demon you can feast on special Pagan Pizza Pies made by the team of EF Pizza.
We will also have our holiday gift packs and our special 12 Beers of Xmas 12 packs on hand to stuff into your devilish significant others stocking. And if you dress like a a Krampus devil beast or Yule Lord or Lady, Edmar will give you give you some swag to keep you toasty this winter.
