Lazy Monk Brewing is a beloved local favorite and not-so-hidden gem, and its annual Christkindlemarket has become a family favorite over the years, too. The unique outdoor market, hosted on Saturday, Dec. 7, welcomed more than 20 craft and food vendors, 50-degree weather, and even a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus!

After the event, Lazy Monk Brewing took to Facebook to share a few of photos and some words: “Every year I wonder why we do the Christkindlemarket and every year the reason comes flooding back. This time of year is all about the children and to see those wide eyes simply makes our hearts carry the spirit throughout the season!”
