Drink beer and buy gifts at Notch Brewery

One way to make holiday shopping a lot less stressful: Just add beer. In the spirit of Small Business Saturday, Notch Brewery will be hosting a “sip and shop” pop-up market at its Brighton taproom, so you can celebrate with an afternoon of local consumerism and consumption. The craft brewer will be welcoming more than 40 artists, artisans and vintage vendors from throughout the community, all of whom will be selling their wares and letting you cross gift after gift off your list—while you nurse an ice cold draft pulled straight from the tap.
