Wibby Brewing is hosting their second annual Winter Market on Dec 12 and 19 from 3-9 p.m. each night. This market will feature craft artisans, food vendors, live musicians and a special beer release.
Over 20 small businesses will participate in the Winter Market and will have unique, handcrafted and affordable gifts including jewelry, woodworking, ceramics, blown glass, hanging art and much more.
According to a press release from Wibby Brewing, "The vendors will be set up in the brewhouse, allowing shoppers a chance to see the downtown Longmont brewery in a special, behind-the-scenes way."
In addition, shoppers will be able to enjoy a European Christkindlike setting, where they are able to enjoy craft lagers while shopping. At the Dec. 19 market, Wibby will release their newest lager, Dawn to Duck, which is a black India Pale Lager for shoppers to enjoy.
Robin Brower, special events strategist, called the annual event "a festive, community-building opportunity" for the lager-only brewery to work with fellow small businesses, highlight area artists, and benefit local non-profits.
"We hope our Winter Market series brings entire families and visitors together for an evening of joy with fun shopping, delicious food, entertainment, and massages. I imagine we'll even catch attendees singing a carol or two."
