ADAMS MORGAN: The Twelve (Or More) Beers of Christmas at The Black Squirrel, Friday, Dec. 4th

Thanksgiving is over so it’s time for The Black Squirrel's annual Christmas ales and cookies event. As in years past, we will pass out Christmas cookies, serve Christmas ales a plenty, and dish up two special burgers: a XXXmas burger (a sausage burger topped with dressing, bacon, and cranberry aioli) and a Holy Cheesemas burger (a double decker burger topped with beer-cheese sauce).
Ho ho ho!

On the fourth day of December, your true love sent to you: five Christmas Ales, four Holiday Saisons, three Noels, two Mad/Bad Elfs and one Black Squirrel. It is that time of year again — time to shout to the skies and have a glass, or three, of holiday cheer at The Black Squirrel on Friday and Saturday (December 4th and 5th).
