I get it… you’ve got friends and family in town, and all you want to do is grab a drink at your favorite taproom. I also understand that while I do my best to keep the hours of all these local spots up to date on my website, once we hit this time of year, there come some really crazy hour changes for everyone.
It’s the holidays, and we can all understand that, right? But we still want to know who’s open when!
That’s what this list is for – it’s for you to make your plans. I’ll keep this updated as best as I can to let you know what everyone’s holiday plans are – but if you see something that is missing or not up-to-date – PLEASE, let me know!!
Cheers, and Happy freaking Holidays!!!
