Did your dog eat your toy along with your homework from 1995? Not a problem, for just $15 at the door you’re set to join us for food, fun, entertainment and photos with Santa all included! (Beers are all regular price)
Beer Release: We will be releasing our 2014 batch of Port Brewing’s Bourbon Barrel-Aged Santa’s Little Helper for the first time it it’s new 375ml bottle; $12 ea. / 6 bottle limit.
Food: Entrants will receive a ticket good for food at any of the three vendors in our mobile food court.
On Tap: All of The Lost Abbey and Port Brewing’s full core lineup of beers will be available, plus a few specialty taps will be available. Besides the fat man in the red suit (who will be available for pictures throughout the day), we’ll also be celebrating 6 years of releasing a Bourbon barrel-aged version of our Imperial Stout, Santa’s Little Helper. A robust beer with tones of sweet malt, dark cocoa and notes of deep bourbon, Santa’s Little Helper is the perfect accompaniment to fruit cake during a California Christmas in July.
Specialty Taps: TBA
