What's Hoppin' this Week 12/12

It's time for another week in the world of INW craft beer. We've got some festive events to get to this week, so just put on your favorite Christmas music, relax, and plan your week ahead with my help. Cheers! 🍻

Thursday, December 13th

- Bellwether's Sainted Beer release party from 3 to 9 pm features a seasonally spiced stout inspired by St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. A fitting tribute to the Christmas season. Facebook.

- Steady Flow Growler House Downtown is hosting their big Christmas shindig with a few great breweries including Firestone, Crux, Payette and Fremont bringing special and limited edition beers to sample and chat about. There will also be a white elephant gift exchange, and a holiday movie costume contest. Facebook.

- Second Harvest Food Bank is hosting another VolunBeer event at their headquarters starting at 5:30. Spend an hour volunteering and then drink some beer from Montana's Great Northern Brewing Co. Facebook.

Saturday, December 15th
