Weekly Beer Calendar Update: December 26 - December 31

Filed under "oops, the post-holiday hangover must've delayed this calendar". It was all ready to go yesterday; I must not have had the pre-publish button pushed properly. Nonetheless, catch up on some leftover goodies today at Memphis Taproom, Kraftwork, and The Victoria Freehouse from their events yesterday. And, do enjoy these last five days of the year.

Check out the entire December 2013 calendar over here. If I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, don't hesitate to let me know.
