The Christmas events are starting this week (last week if you are in the Fox & Hounds), but before that there’s also Black Friday to deal with – that’s right, even small local businesses feel the need to reduce their prices to get you to spend money with them. And best not to disappoint them eh? If you have updates or want your event to be added, e-mail beer@quaffablereading.com
