Earlier this month I had an article about the goings-on at Worthy Brewing here in Bend: the release of Strata IPA, their X-Hop experimental beers, the release of Dark Muse Imperial Stout.

It’s the final day of the Beer Advent Calendar, and I hope you enjoyed following along this year as we counted down the days to this Christmas Eve!
