Vortex Alley Brewing had new 10 barrel fermenters arrive on Wednesday, Dec. 1. This was part of a plan to begin manufacturing their beers for sale outside Ponca City. Vortex Alley Brewing worked with Equity Bank on securing other finances and Vortex was incentivized by the Ponca City Development Authority for manufacturing. “This is just the beginning,” said David Thomas, one of Vortex Alley Brewing’s co-owners. “It is huge for us to be able to have groups like that believe in us enough to see that what we’re doing is viable, and viable for the community.” Thomas doesn’t expect the brew set up till mid-February and won’t be brewing until the end of February. Vortex is also still in the process of getting concrete, plumbing and electrical work done, but expect to be up and going in March. (Photo by Calley Lamar)

Following the success of their Crawloween Halloween pub crawl held on Oct. 29, Astoria Blvd Bistro & Bar, The Grand Cigar & Lounge, Vortex Alley Brewing, and The Axe Hole are coming together again in an ugly Christmas sweater themed pub crawl to be held on Saturday, Dec. 4.

During Crawloween, the businesses had drawings at their own locations for the chance to win gift cards by filling out a pub crawl card and getting it stamped at each location.

The Ugly Christmas Sweater Pub Crawl will be different from Crawloween, because to get the pub crawl stamp card, anyone wishing to participate has to bring in one unopened toy and one canned good. All toys and canned goods will be distributed to local non-profit groups that will distribute the items to families that need them. The businesses view this as an opportunity to give back to the community while also having a fun evening.

As of this writing, the businesses have a combined amount of $1000 in gift cards that they will be dividing up between the four of them for drawings, and Shark Freight has also thrown into the gift card pot as well.

The event will start at 4:00 pm on Saturday.
