DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Don’t miss the limited offering from Rabbit Hole Brewing Company, Hole Lang Syne!  It’s available at some local bars on draft.  (Check out the list of where to get Hole Lang Syne here or attend this event at Alamo Drafthouse on 1/15!)

HAPPIER HOURS
Origin Kitchen + Bar, just released new happy hour specials. Select happy hour drinks and dishes will be discounted from 5-7pm, Tuesday through Friday.  Look for half price starters, cocktails and draft beers along with $2 bottled beers.
(Specials include Dutch Mussels, Texas Akaushi Tare Tare, Seared Duck Breast Salad, Warm Shaved Brussels Salad and select cocktails.)

NEW BREW
Malai Kitchen is now brewing its own beer!  Its newest offering, the Thai 1 On, is a VietCoffee Stout and is incredibly rich and smooth … even though it is 11% ABV.  Stop in to try it for $6/pint or $20/growler through the end of the month.
