Nothing says October like Christmas ale.
Santa Claus is coming to Zip’s Cafe in Hyde Park a little early this year, carrying a sack full of Great Lakes Christmas Ale — and presents for all the good little of-age drinkers. A man literally dressed as St. Nick will deliver and tap a Christmas Ale keg, pouring $5 pints of the beer, which is brewed with honey and spiced with ginger and cinnamon.
Great Lakes and Zip’s will donate 10 percent of the evening’s sales to the Freestore Foodbank. They will also be pouring other Great Lakes brews, including the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, Nosferatu Imperial Red Ale and Burning River Pale Ale.
6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27. Zip’s Cafe, 1036 Delta Ave., Mount Lookout, 513-871-9876.
