This December, Shelby Township is turning up the holiday spirit with Holidays at the Lodge! On Saturday, December 21, from 4 PM to 9 PM, this event features everything from s’mores-making to craft beer with a festive twist.
What’s Happening at the Lodge?
This isn’t your typical holiday party. The Lodge is pulling out all the stops to ensure everyone has a good time. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Meat Stick & Beef Jerky Pairing: Uncle Henry’s Meats is stepping up with a pairing that’s as quirky as it is delicious. Because honestly, who doesn’t love jerky with a side of beer? It’s the pairing that makes you wonder why it hasn’t been a holiday tradition all along.
- S’mores Station: For those with a sweet tooth, you can create your own gooey masterpiece. All it takes is a small donation to access marshmallows, and everything else needed to toast up the perfect s’more. Warning: sticky fingers are inevitable.
- Cinnamon & Sugar Rims: Add some holiday flair to your drink with cinnamon and sugar rims on any beer on tap. It’s festive, fun, and guaranteed to make your beverage feel like it belongs in a Hallmark movie.
Why You Should Go
The Holidays at the Lodge event are more than just food and drinks—although those are reason enough to attend. Whether you’re planning a night out with friends or looking for something different to do as a couple, this event offers an easygoing way to celebrate the holidays without all the stress.
Plus, it’s a great excuse to get out of the house during that awkward lull before Christmas when everyone’s either frantically shopping or trying not to eat all the cookies they baked too early.
