It’s a miracle that we’re already talking about Christmas, but here we are — talking about a Christmas-themed pop-up bar. And when we say Christmas-themed, we mean Christmas-threw-up-all-over-the-place kind of vibes.
Old Yale Brewing will have 12 specialty beverages to kick off the season, like the Christmaspolitan (vodka, elderflower, dry vermouth, spiced cranberry sauce, lime, rosemary, absinthe mist), the Carol Barrel (Irish whiskey, banana liqueur, Jamaican navy strength rum, Guinness punch, lime, aromatic and chocolate bitters, and nutmeg), and the Christmas Criket (blanco tequila, vanilla liqueur, minty amaro, coco pandan, cream, and mole bitters).
When: November 20 to December 31
Where: Old Yale Abbotsford — 33738 Laurel Street, Abbotsford
Old Yale Chilliwack — 404-44550 South Sumas Road, Chilliwack
