It's not just beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Beard Science Sour House, they've got a whole deck the halls thing going on right now at the brewery and beer hall attached to Truck Yard in The Colony.

For the holiday season, Beard Science has been transformed into "Santa's Last Stop at Truck Yard," a limited-time pop-up bar featuring holiday-themed cocktails, rare whiskey pours, seasonal beers and more, with the surrounding scene decked out to its core with more decor than you can shake a peppermint stick at. Indeed, photo ops abound, whether you choose to strike a pose next to the Christmas tree, under the mistletoe, or in the naughty phone booth off in the corner.

Plus, reminders of classic holiday movies (both traditional and non-traditional) like Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Die Hard  and The Gremlins  are everywhere, with some call-outs found in drink options on the "Santa's Last Stop" special menu.

Along those lines, among the boozy beverages are Bad Santa Sangria, Clark's Irish Java, and Gizmo's Hot Spiked Apple Cider, along with "Naughty Shots" called Resting Grinch Face and Elf Fart. Then, for a non-alcoholic option, there's the Elf-inspired Buddy's Hot Chocolate.

Oh, and just so you don't forget you're at Beard Science, a handful of the brewery's daily Berliner Weisse offerings are on tap, supplemented by seasonal pours of Pumpkin Spiced Ale, Wild Huckleberry Sour and Candy Cane Seltzer.

As for how long the holiday pop-up will last at Truck Yard in The Colony, the displays and drink specials will run through Sunday, January 11 - that includes operating hours on both Christmas and New Year's Day.

After that, the standard array of Beard Science sour beers will return. Though, Brew Boss Dennis Wehrmann says to keep an eye out, as there are more foeder-aged beers and open-fermentation projects in the plans, and he may even serve some beers directly from the foeder in the future.
