Step into the shadowed side of the season—where folklore comes alive and holiday cheer meets a touch of winter mischief. Join us for A Very Grimm Krampus, a hauntingly festive afternoon filled with photos, cozy drinks, community giving, and the ancient spirit who kept children in line long before Santa ever did.
🕐 1–3 PM | Krampus Appearance & Toy Drive
Born from Alpine legend, Krampus roamed the winter nights alongside St. Nicholas—rattling chains, cracking switches, and reminding the naughty that not all holiday visitors come bearing gifts. This December, the horned figure of darker Yule tales steps out of myth and into Grimm Brothers Brewhouse. Expect unforgettable photos, uneasy laughter, and just enough fright to keep everyone on their best behavior.
To honor Krampus’ infamous sack, we’re turning mischief into generosity: bring a new, unwrapped toy to contribute to Krampus’ Toys for Tots drive. Help us fill his sack with gifts that will brighten the season for local children in need.
Fun Fact: In old folklore, Krampus’ appearance was meant to stop mischief on sight — wild fur, cloven hooves, rattling chains, and a face carved to haunt winter nights.
