It’s October, and that means Christmas is coming. Don’t worry, we find it weird as well and the “it gets earlier every year” trope is never more true. But, still the supermarket aisles are slowly filling with tins of biscuits, gifting ideas and decorations.

For those who want to get their holidays sorted, we wanted to update you on what’s happening here at Siren and our country pub, the George and Dragon.

Craft Beer Advent Calendars

For the last few years now, our 24-beer Advent Calendars have been a super popular addition to many a person’s December. This year, we’re collating our best value collection to date. With not a penny of inflation in sight, we’ve locked in last year’s price and will be loading each calendar with the best and freshest beers we can. The calendar is currently available for pre-order and will be shipped to your door, for free, well in time for December 1st. To secure yours, or give the gift of a month full of beautiful beers, head to sirencraftbrew.com/advent.

The Tap Yard

Following on from a successful Oktoberfest event, our brand new marquee is with us throughout the winter. We wanted to make sure we have plenty of additional covered seating, which will be handy with some great events coming up:

  • 21st October – Desi Pubs Book Signing with David Jesudason
  • 28th October – Halloween at the Tap Yard
  • 10th November – Caribbean Chocolate Cake Launch Night
  • 2nd December – Tap Yard Christmas Fayre
  • 24th December – Christmas Eve Party
  • 31st December – New Year’s Eve at the Tap Yard

For a full rundown of events and more info, check out sirencraftbrew.com/events
