\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s beginning to look a lot like Christmas\u2014well, as wintry and holiday-like as we get in sunny San Diego, but that warm weather is perfect for enjoying beer, so it\u2019s OK if Saint Nick keeps ignoring our dreams of a white yuletide. There\u2019ll be plenty of fun events happening, holiday-themed and otherwise. We\u2019ve hand-selected a few, but be sure to check out our events page<\/strong><\/a> for even more.<\/p>\n

December 1 & 2 | Strong Ale Fest: <\/strong>Few experiences are as nostalgic for local beer-scene veterans as huddling together in the crowded back-lot of the Pizza Port <\/strong><\/a>bottle shop and repetitiously making one\u2019s way to an outside bar many taps strong. The term \u201cstrong\u201d is apt, because everything on tap at this annual fest is high in ABV yet innovative and diverse. Merry Christmas, Uber! | <\/strong>Pizza Port, 571 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, Times Vary<\/em><\/p>\n

December 2 | Three-Year Anniversary: <\/strong>Celebrate the three-year anniversary of La Mesans getting beers brewed in their hometown. If it\u2019s anything like the past two years, live music and a plethora of beers will make a very fun party pad out Bolt Brewery<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s sprawling, tiered outdoor tasting area. If you\u2019ve never been to this East County spot, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. | <\/strong>Bolt Brewery, 8179 Center Street, La Mesa, 1 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n

This interest is looking to reward the beer connoisseurs who’ve made it one of the most revered new operations in town with a fun and easy event stocked with beers worth coming out for.\u00a0| <\/strong>Eppig Brewing, 3052 El Cajon Boulevard, Suite C, North Park, 1 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n

December 17 | Santa at the SouthNorte Pole: <\/strong>It can be challenging to find beer-related holiday happenings that are family friendly, but thanks to Santa\u2019s decision to visit Small Bar<\/strong><\/a>\u2014with gifts for believers of all ages in his sleigh, no less\u2014along with the team from newly established SouthNorte Brewing<\/strong><\/a> and their beers, a rare all-ages beer-brunch experience can be yours! | <\/strong>Small Bar, 4628 Park Boulevard, University Heights, 10 a.m.<\/em><\/p>\n

December 31 | Craft Beer New Year: <\/strong>Whether you in North County or San Diego proper, Stone Brewing<\/strong> <\/a>has a NYE bash of epic proportions for you.
