2020 won’t stop Calgarians from enjoying a beloved Christmas tradition — Shipnog. Ship & Anchor is serving up its homemade boozy eggnog again, but this year it started early and it is also available for curbside pickup in a 750-mL bottle. You’ll need to pre-order online for pickup, which is offered on Wednesdays each week until December 31. The bottles keep for about a week in your fridge, but good luck making it stick around that long. $5 from each glass sold in the pub and $10 from each bottle sold for takeout goes to the Awo Taan Healing Lodge Society, Calgary Drop-In Centre and Centre for Newcomers.
