Entry is free, but you can purchase fun add-ons like bottomless mimosas, a cookie decorating workshop, or gingerbread house decorating.
Copper Kettle Brewing Company, Denver

You’re running out of time to make sure pupper gets back on the nice list after digging up the neighbor’s garden (she was only trying to help!) A visit with Santa to explain the situation, plus a donation to Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue should do the trick.

It ain’t the holidays if you’re not drinking in matching sweaters with pup! Head to Bruz Beers Midtown for their annual Ugly Sweater Party, and you’ll score $1 off drafts for dressing the part.

Can’t wait a few more weeks for Santa? Get yourself an early gift from Resolute’s 5th annual Boozy Elephant Gift Exchange.

Wear your ugliest holiday sweater and receive a free beer card. Fluffy can dress to the canines too cuz pups are allowed inside the taproom.
Washington Park, Denver
