Tasty tidbits
🎄 Who doesn’t love a good holiday market — especially when there’s beer involved? Good Neighbour Brewing Co. (110 Sherbrook St.) and the adjacent eatery Next Door (116 Sherbrook St.) are hosting a holiday market that kicked off Dec. 4 and runs through Sunday.
The event features local makers, a pay-what-you-can pancake brunch, beers in the brewery’s backyard, Christmas karaoke and more.
Details, including participating vendors, can be found on the brewery’s Instagram page.
🥘 Nonsuch Brewing Co. (125 Pacific Ave.) returns with another First Fridays event featuring a guest chef tonight — this time highlighting the culinary creations of Seamus Fogarty, who has served up his wares at Segovia and Clementine.
The menu features Michelada oysters, Segovia’s tuna tostadas, curried brussels sprouts and more — for a sneak peek of the dishes, which will be served up starting at 4 p.m., see here.
🫖 Dalnavert Museum (61 Carlton St.) is hosting a number of holiday events this month, including a Northern Express tea party on Sunday.
The soirée runs from noon to 4 p.m. and includes Christmas crafts, edu-tainment and a train-themed tea party. Tickets are $10 per person.
Recommended for kids aged 6 to 12, with adult accompaniment.
Recommended fare
Ben: I curl Wednesday nights, and the team and I typically convene for a beverage in the lounge either before or after the game. (Or both, depending on how badly we’ve been beaten.) As of late I’ve been enjoying the Little Brown Jug Hazy IPA, which the lounge has on tap — it’s not excessively bitter, but rather is driven by big tropical fruit flavours and, at 6.5 per cent alcohol, delivers just enough liquid motivation before hitting the ice. (Although maybe it has contributed to our having only won one game this year.)
Eva: This isn’t a food recommendation, but a card game to consider bringing to your various holiday gatherings. Flip 7 is a fun, fast-paced group game with straightforward rules, the excitement of gambling and only a little bit of math. We’ve had a ton of fun playing it with various groups of friends.
