The Holiday Ale Festival just released its beer and cider line up
The 24th annual Holiday Ale Festival just released its beer and cider lineup and it’s pretty darn exciting.
Considered to be one of the best winter lineup for beers and ciders in the nation, the festival first started in 1995 as the Winter Ale Festival before being christened as the Holiday Ale Festival in 1998.
