time to get festive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you have someone to shop for who has a taste for craft beer, Bikini Beer <\/strong>is your spot. They have the largest selection of beer in Oxford, including some hard-to-find brews like Oregon-based\u00a0 Rogue Ales.<\/p>\n

They also have a new inventory of logo pint glasses and chalices so you can sip in style. With the holidays coming up, there are plenty of seasonal brews to choose from, and you can find your favorites at Bikini Beer as well.<\/p>\n

For a stronger beverage, just swing over to Star Package<\/strong>, where you will find an amazing selection of wines and spirits. Who can resist the creamy, sweet flavor of egg nog? It\u2019s a holiday tradition around my family, and Star has a few different varieties to sample, including a chocolate nog. Of course, they are spiked with bourbon, brandy, and rum, so get festive!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re picking up a bottle or two as holiday presents, at Star Package they still offer FREE gift wrapping and they do a lovely job of making every purchase look incredible and delicious.<\/p>\n
