For the past couple of years those that frequent the more well known craft beer spots (Duck Island, Brouwer’s Cafe, etc.) have seen some odd holiday characters stroll in to have  a drink .

In previous years, regular customers have had their pictures taken with Santa, Jesus, the New Years baby, or even Winnie the Pooh. Welcome to the holiday pub crawl, beer geek style. This year as they have in previous years several well known beer buyers, brewers, and fans will be traveling from Northgate all the way down to Fremont and finishing in Greenlake.

The event kicks off at 6:30 PM with a visit to (Pub at ) Piper’s Creek and moves to Naked City after that.
