  • These are an awesome idea! My partner is quite picky with his beers so I’ve made my own before which was lots of fun!

  • What a brilliant idea! The perfect festive gift for the eldest (my husband).

  • Have tried several beer advent calendars over the years. It’s a “must have” every year. Disappointed that I’m pregnant this Christmas, so I won’t be able to partake.

    Reply

  • Oh dang it! I read this article on the 1st of November, have gone back and re read it and then decided to get one for my 20 year old son and yup, all sold out! You really have to be quick to get the one that you want. This happened to me last year too, you think I would have learnt my lesson – get in quick!

  • What a great present. A good way to sample a variety. My husband is always on the lookout for something new but the choices can be overwhelming so a surprise variety would be just the thing for any beer lover.

  • I love that ‘yeah the beers’ includes videos about the beers.

    Reply

  • Thank you for the reminder 🙂 I see these down my feed every year and always think about purchasing one but by the time I get around to doing it they are all sold out! So I guess the best thing to do is get in early and purchase one as soon as you see them available for sale. There was one I was interested in getting and it sold out within 4 hours on line…..the early bird gets the beer!

  • Great article full of helpful information in choosing which advent calendar to buy this year. Thanks for making the choice easy

  • After seeing this article I have been looking into some alcohol advent calendars as a choice for my secret Santa gift. It looks like you can get a lot of different versions, including a 24 days of rum! Really cool, a gift for the person who has everything and will be a pleaser. Thank you for the info, I never would have thought of it.

  • Great article I know someone who will love a beer advent calendar this year.

  • Beer Advent Calendars are a great idea for gift giving, in the past I have made up my own from a mix of Aussie and imported beers and done them up nicely to gift.

    Reply

  • Sounds like a great idea but it also seems like a very expensive way of buying beer.

    Reply

  • Woah! I legitimately had no idea Beer Advent Calendars were a thing! This is such a great idea for those who are hard to buy for in my family, like my brothers. It’s the gift that keeps on giving throughout December. I might even get myself one.

    Reply

  • Good idea-I’ll have to think about one for my brother, he keeps a spreadsheet of all the different beers he’s tried, sigh I think he needs to enjoy them more and worry about recording them less lol

    Reply

  • What a great idea for those who love beer. It’s a perfect gift in the lead up to Christmas.

    Reply

  • Oh gosh, I dont think l could drink one of these quickly enough! 😅

    Reply

  • This is such a good idea!! My hubby likes beer but does he want one per day? Hehe

    Reply

  • Unpopular opinion…but I’d love to see an non-alcoholic version of an advent calendar!

    Reply

  • I love the idea of all of these calendars! Fun way for us to get excited about the countdown to Christmas too. Love the look of the more colourful and fun boxes. Makes a perfect gift idea

    Reply

  • A great gift for a friend whose birthday is in late November.

    Reply

  • Love an adventure, what an awesome choice, and an Advent tasting adventure sounds like the best fun.

    Reply

  • Wow, so many choices. How do I decide on just one Advent calendar? If I chose more I doubt I’d remember Christmas. 😀

    Reply

  • Such good value for the boozebud one. That’s going straight in my basket wooo hurry up December

    Reply

  • This is a great way to include Dads in pre Christmas! First time I’ve seen this and My dad would have loved this!

    Reply

  • This looks like a great idea!

    Reply

  • See so many beauty advent calendars that it’s actually nice to see more alcohol based ones become more popular over time! Its such a fun little treat to open up a new surprise drink each day whilst being able to try something new

    Reply

  • These look so fun!! Great for exploring new drinks

    Reply

  • These are so cool, I never knew they existed!! I think I’ll have to have a closer look at these for a Chrissy present for the dudes in my life.
