Tag Archives: Christmas Beer Tasting


As we near the holiday season, the club's collective ability to meet and get things done is pretty much crippled. People are out of town, other parties are going on, etc.

Since the needs of our November meeting require that we collectively taste and decide which version of the beer we produced for the Guild Holiday Party to enter into competition, we will not meet officially in November. This does not mean we can't get together more informally.

Our pre-party meeting date will be December 3rd and will coincide with the annual Mount Vernon Monument Holiday Lighting.

  • We will meet up prior to the lighting at  George's — the bar in the Peabody Court Hotel — for some drinks.
  • The lighting starts at 7:20 p.m. on Mount Vernon Square.
  • Following the lighting, we will retire to Paul's house to taste our versions of the Ginger Snap Ale and decide which one to enter.
    • Bring some Winter/Holiday beers to taste, and we'll decide which we collectively like the best using Paul's system.
    • Bring some holiday themed goodies
