With the holiday season quickly approaching beer sponsored events seem to be dropping off in number until after the holidays. While I had thought this column would perhaps be weekly, I suspect there is only enough to run it bi-weekly. That said I did find a couple of beer tidbits for the week.

2nd Black Friday Beer Festival
Friday, November 28th - 3pm
Triangle Brewing Company
Durham, NC
Why fight crowds at the mall, when you can fight crowds at the bar instead! Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. The festival will be raising money for Cystic Fibrosis and will include live music, food, draft beer and a number of casks.

Big Boss and Duck Rabbit Dinner at Brixx
Wednesday, December 10th - 6:60pm
Brixx Restaurant
Chapel Hill
Vegetarian beer dinner with Big Boss and Duck Rabbit Breweries at Brixx in Chapel Hill. It will be $32.00 and include a five course meal, as well as a reception beer. Each course will be paired with either a Big Boss or Duck Rabbit beer. You can find tickets at the Big Boss brewery while they last.
