Proof Brewing to celebrate Proofmas and help kids at the same time

Tallahassee’s largest craft brewery has let loose some details of their upcoming Christmas party: they will exchange raffle tickets for Toys for Tots toys.

In addition to one of our infamous glassware giveaways (a Limited Edition Holiday Proof Snifter might we add) we’ll also be doing a toy drive to benefit Toys for Tots!

The way it works is simple, come in that night for the glassware giveaway as you normally would but if you bring in a NEW UNWRAPPED TOY we’ll give you a raffle ticket to win bar tabs, growlers, and Proof schwag!
