"12 Steps" to a beery meery Christmas

If you're not in the know about the Drinking & Writing Brewery, well, you better do something about that and do it soon. The Drinking & Writing Brewery is the brainchild of Sean Benjamin and Steve Mosqueda (of Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind fame) and Pete Crowley (of Rock Bottom Chicago brewmaster fame). Exploring the connection between creativity and alcohol, the folks at D&W have a monthly radio show/podcast (which has recently featured yours truly being interviewed to promote our Oktoberfest party and our own Tom Saldana being interviewed AT our Oktoberfest party) and host all sorts of wacky events around Chicago including Beerfly Alleyfight and the Drinking & Writing Festival.

So why am I bringing this up now? Well, each of the next three Saturdays you can get into the holiday spirit as Sean and Steve perform Drinking & Writing Volume IV: The 12 Steps of Christmas. If that's not enough, it's being held at one of Chicago's (and the world's) premiere beer bars: Hopleaf. And if THAT'S not enough, this Saturday's performance will be followed by a Doppelbock tasting courtesy of friends of HOPS! Metropolitan, Goose Island and Rock Bottom.

Shows are at 4pm, tickets are $15, and you must be 21 or older to enter. For tickets or to get more info, follow this link. I'll be there this Saturday... hope you will be too!
