Commercial Brewers...it's that time of year again:
Sign up today for the NIPAC and NI-IPAC!
http://www.brewingnews.com/nipac
It's time to check your list and check it twice. By that, of course, I mean check your list of beer events to make sure you haven't missed anything this December.
Along the way, you might even discover some great last-minute stocking stuffers such as a gift card to a favorite beer bar or a growler full of a special brew.
However you celebrate the winter holidays, may you be surrounded with friends and family and your plate be full of nourishing food and your glass filled with delicious brew. It's been another frenetic year of beer, people, news, and events that will keep the industry humming into 2015. Wishing you all the best from the calendar and events crew at Mid-Atlantic Brewing News!
Cheers,
Bryan Kolesar
