Temecula 'Beer And Carols' Concert Returns In December

TEMECULA, CA — Do you hear what I hear? Beer and Carols, presented by Beer and Hymns, is returning to Temecula at 6 p.m. on Sunday Dec. 18 at Bastards Canteen in Temecula.

Tickets are $5 for adults with kids under 16-years-old free, but free RSVP reservations are required for the little ones. A buffet dinner is also available for $23 a person.

Bastards Canteen is located at 27717 Jefferson Avenue, Temecula.

Dinner will include smoked chicken, smoked pulled pork, mac & cheese, bbq baked beans, coleslaw, and bread roll.

Beer and Hymns began performing at the now-closed Bridge on Third Pub in 2018, according to band member Alex McLean. They moved online during the pandemic, with the band live-streaming shows over Facebook. They have since evolved into a casual gathering of people who like the idea of singing old-school hymns over a beer, soda, water, or iced tea, according to McLean.

They sponsor in-person events "about four times a year." You may have seen Beer and Hymns play at Blackbird Tavern, Karl Strauss, Topspin Pizza and Pong (that has since closed), and Pie Nation in Wildomar.

"We theme every event, such as our most recent '80s Sing-Along,' or last year's 'Irish Sing-Along' which was close to St. Patrick's Day," he said. The caroling event at Christmas is always a favorite.

The event is all-inclusive, allowing people from all walks of life to get together for a good old-fashioned sing-along, according to McLean.

For the Christmas celebration, advanced tickets are recommended.

The Beer and Carols event is the band's favorite gathering of the year, according to McLean. It's a time for guests to gather, eat, drink and be merry singing holiday songs.

Along with carols, food and fun, there will be a visit from Santa and more surprises, he said in a recent news release.

Dressing in holiday style is recommended, and the more the merrier.

"If you're coming, make sure you wear your favorite Christmas apparel," McLean said. "Get your tickets early because this is our most popular sing-along of the year."
