The Christmas season is here! I love this time of year...the fellowship, the giving, the sharing, the parties, the music, the feasting, the shopping...the merriest time of good cheer! Hope you have Christmas in your heart too!
I want to share these Christmas quotes with you from the funny Dave Berry.

Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space. ~Dave Barry

In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!' ~Dave Barry, "Christmas Shopping: A Survivor's Guide"

Shake Russell
From Bar Harbor, Maine to Santa Fe, New Mexico; from Los Angeles, California to Nashville, Tennessee, one can mention among Texas songwriters, the name “Shake Russell” and be virtually assured of interest, pleasure and joyful recognition. If you’re a true Texan, then Shake Russell’s music has touched your life in some way. If you’re not, it happened without your knowing it. Seventeen million copies of this Texan’s songs have been bought while being recorded by the likes of Clint Black, Ricky Skaggs, Waylon Jennings, and others. We are always thrilled when Shake chooses to play our humble establishment. Please help us to welcome the legendary Texas singer songwriter's return to the stage at JP Hops House and join us for what promises to be another great "shakin" show.
This is a Kerrville Folk Festival Partners Show
Showtime @ 9:30 pm

New Seasonal Beers on Draft:

2°Below Winter Ale - New Belgium Brewing
a bright, warming blast of Sterling and Liberty hops along with tawny-roasted malts. By pushing 2°Below into a final, nearly freezing state, its ample structure develops a brilliant clarity. Dry-hopping during fermentation creates a rosy, floral nose with a hint of pepper spice and subtle, estery undertones. 2°Below provides a bright, hoppy palate and a cheery warm afterglow. Let it help take your winter from bearable to downright delightful.
Winter Warmer - Young's The definitive winter beer and a long-time Young’s favorite, Winter Warmer is a champion cask ale that is an essential warmer during the winter months.
Rich ruby colored beer, almost red in bright light. Complex fruity nose with hints of candy. Luscious and full bodied, with a powerful mouth-coating flavor leading to a bittersweet, vinous finish.
Maris Otter pale ale malt and crystal malt with Young's unique cane sugar mix added to the copper with Fuggle and Golding hops. Note from the Head Brewer:
An award-winning ale to chase away the winter blues and warm the cockles of your heart. Brewery Awards: 1998 gold medal at Brewing Industry
Celebration - Sierra Nevada Wonderfully robust and rich, Celebration Ale is dry-hopped for a lively, intense aroma. Brewed especially for the holidays. “…best beer ever made in America.”
– Stan Sessor, San Francisco Chronicle Gold Medal Winner United States Beer Tasting Championship (IPA: 1994) First Place
Chicago Beer Society — 1996 Fall Beer Tasting Silver Medal Winner
California State Fair (IPA: 1999)
