Arnold's plans craft market, MadTree rare bottle sale

Are you a last-minute holiday shopper but like to buy local? Arnold's is planning an event for you. The Downtown bar and restaurant will host The Craft Menagerie Last Minute Holiday Market, featuring a MadTree rare bottle sale, on Dec. 19.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the courtyard at Arnold's, 210 E. Eighth St. Tara Heilman of ROBOT Inside, who organizes The Craft Menagerie for Bockfest, has curated a group of more than 20 local crafters selling handmade items such as jewelry, screen printed posters, stuffed animals and pottery.

As for the beer, Arnold's will sell a limited number of each of two different MadTree gift packs. Each features a one-time release beer from the brewery's Trunk Series and the brewery's limited edition Teku glass. One gift pack will feature Tequila Tiamat, aged in tequila barrels, which is sold out elsewhere and has never been sold outside the brewery. The other gift pack will feature gin barrel-aged Joon, also completely sold out elsewhere. That beer was recently named one of the "Top 25 beers of 2015" by Draft magazine.

Both gift packs will sell for $21.99.

The event will also include a MadTree tap takeover, with PsycHOPathy, Thundersnow, Espressoself, Dreamsicle and Black Forest Milk Stout on draft.

Arnold’s will serve a limited menu of sandwiches and fries during the event. (Normal menu resumes at 5 p.m.)

The list of craft vendors is: Metheart, Jason Bohrer Photography, Tree's Faeries, Zita Feist's Fiber Treasures, Cards Couture, Indigo Hands Pottery, James Billiter Studio, Shelarious, Moonforest Studio, Reclaimed Luxury, KreativeMindz, Geri Shields, Oberaw Industries, Dirty Martha, P39 Designs, Savage Juliette and ROBOT Inside.
