Keg Tapping

Hofbräuhaus and the Salvation Army of Greater Cleveland team up today at 6:45 p.m. at the brewery and restaurant to spread some holiday cheer as they tap the ceremonial keg of the "famous Christmas Doppelbock" and mark the start of the Salvation Army's annual Red Kettle Campaign. Representatives from the Salvation Army will be on hand to take the first taste. At 7, Hofbrauhaus celebrates Krampusnacht, an event dedicated to Krampus, the mythical two-horned creature who punishes bad children. There will be actors dressed as Krampus on hand for photo opps. Admission is free. (Niesel)
