"The West End’s Best End Brewing’s annual Mingle and Jingle Christmas bar is stuffed with miles of tinsel and so many trees, stockings, and lights that it’s likely to make any Scrooge smile. Beginning Nov. 25, swing by and grab a cocktail or one of their house-brewed beers like the Schnitzengiggle, which has a touch of sweetness (and one of our favorite beer names). Take your recycled gift wrap bows to contribute to their bow wall, which is back again this year if you need a fun backdrop for some in-the-spirit selfies.
