2025 Holiday Open House - Annual holiday celebration for the whole family

Celebrate the Season at Our 6th Annual Holiday Open House!

‍

Round up your crew and swing by the Coal Shed Brewery for one of our favorite traditions of the year. Our Holiday Open House returns—and as always we're bringing the holiday spirit, community vibes, and plenty of libations and fun activities for the whole family.

‍

We're open 11:30am–6pm, with the main festivities from 1–4pm. Come early, settle in, and enjoy…

‍

🍺 Seasonal Sips & Food Specials

Warm up by the fire pits with hot chocolate or s’mores, grab a pint of our seasonal brews, and dig into holiday-themed food specials from the Pie Wagon.

‍

🎶 Live Holiday Music

The talented Vallejo Choral Society will be here to fill the brewery with festive tunes.

‍

❄️ Kid-Friendly Crafts & Activities

Bring the kiddos to the craft station where they can create ornaments, decorate Santa hats, or get their faces painted. And of course—keep an eye out for Santa wandering the brewery for those timeless holiday photo ops.

‍

🎁 Gifts, Merch & Merry Must-Haves

Check off your holiday shopping list with exclusive gift items and enjoy extra-steep merch discounts. Plus, head home with a complimentary holiday gift bag packed for the season.

‍

🤖 “Rowing of the Toys” Toy Drive

A cornerstone of this annual celebration—help us support local families by bringing a new, unwrapped toy to donate. And don’t miss the Straits of Mare Island Rowing Association as they row over a boatload of toys from our Ferry Taproom, where the Vallejo Fire Department will be waiting with one of their fire engines to collect the haul.

‍

🐦 Bonus Perks for Yardbirds

Yardbird beer club members get extra perks: deeper merch discounts, free s’mores, and more. Plus, don't miss you first chance to pick up your 2025 Holiday Beer Release (or grab an extra box for your favorite beer lover).
