Winter Beer Social, Houston

Organized by the staff of Houston Beer Fest and Houston Sports & Social Club, the first annual Winter Beer Social celebrates the season while raising proceeds for the Texas Children's Hospital. Throughout the evening, guests clad in unsightly Christmas sweaters imbibe seasonal suds from an assortment of breweries, including Blue Moon, New Castle, Sierra Nevada, Karbach, Southern Star, Buffalo Bayou, and New Belgium. Live entertainment helps further lift spirits, as DJs spin records and Santa stops by for a visit.
