  • I was recently chatting to a mum friend of mine and how awesome advent calendars now are and she had no idea about the beer advent calendar. It is such a great idea for those who love beer. Who wouldn’t want to have a beer everyday for 25 days over summer. A great way to bring in the silly season.


  • These Beer Advent calendars are great! Such a fun novelty in the lead up to Christmas. Why should kids be the only ones with Advent Calendars, finally an adult one! My dad would love one of these. This would be his dream come true. And makes my job easy too because dads are just so hard to buy for.


  • I love an IPA and my husband loves craft beers. I didn’t know there were advent calendars for these. After seeing this article, I’ve ordered them for us. How fin is it to have adult versions of advent calendars. We’ve ordered whiskey and gin ones in previous years and they’re also great!


  • Further to my comment below, there are some really fabulous beer advent calendar options in this article. I really like the idea of the beer and jerky mix, I think that’s the best one but to be honest they are all really fabulous and most beer drinks would be thrilled to have one of these.


  • I love this time of year, getting ready for Christmas and looking at all the different offerings in the lead up to Christmas. An advent calendar has always been something I have gotten for the kids each year and never really considered getting one for myself. I love this idea, it makes it so much fun.


  • It’s almost that time of the year again where we start seeing advent calendars roll out for Christmas. Im always excited to see what is on offer and love the fun idea behind it, having a little surprise each day to open. Definitely makes for a great KK gift at work too


  • I’m hopeful I’ll be able to snap up something like this for this coming holiday season, I didn’t get the opportunity to bag one last year. I have two brothers who would just love to have something like this to go through. It’s very fun and different. I love the idea of manflower one


  • I’m hoping these beer advent calendars are available in 2025. They are such a great idea! I can think of a few males in my family who I’d gift these beer advent calendars to come Christmas. Like Forrest Gump said, “life is like a box of chocolates….” I love how you don’t know what you’re going to get until the day you open the calendar. It certainly has the wow factor!


  • I wonder if these advent calendars will be available again this year. They were so popular last year and are a really fun gift to give someone who loves a particular type of drink. I know I would love to receive one of these. It is a quirky and nice gift to give.


  • These are so fun! I love the funky coloured packaging and unique designs. While a little on the pricer side these would make the perfect spacial gift for a beer lover of that guy that just has everything already and you don’t know what to get him. The Beer Bro one is my fave, so fun!


  • They are unfortunately out of my budget, but I would love to receive one. 😀


  • These are very expensive, as are most advent calendars, but they’re good fun for green ups to play with at Christmas


  • I wonder if there are markdowns of these after Xmas. I may have missed the boat but what a great way to sample a variety of new and interesting products. My husband and his mates would love this sort of thing for a sample night . I’ll have to keep my eyes open.


  • I would have loved one of these advent calendar gifts in the lead up to Christmas Day but unfortunately I think the prices can make them out of reach for a lot of people including myself. Oh well, maybe next year. 😀


  • That sounds like a fun idea for next year! Exploring different beers each day leading up to Christmas with a beer advent calendar can be a great way to discover new brews and enjoy the holiday season. It’s a fantastic way to add a bit of excitement and variety to the festive countdown. Planning ahead for next year’s beer advent calendar could make the holiday season even more enjoyable!


  • These would make a great birthday gift too. For that person trying to cut back, I can imagine one new one each day would be the perfect way to enjoy and trial new products . I have the perfect person in mind for a treat like this.


  • This is the best advent calendar that I’ve seen and I would have loved to get one for December, or anytime really. So much better than a tiny chocolate and I get to try something different every day of the month. Sending this to my girlfriend for next years December. Love it!


  • Yeah the beets calendar has been secured as a gift, woohoo! Bro will be stoked. Thank you for the recommendation


  • Think my husband will love the beer advent. I’d been keen to keep an eye out for a vodka spritz calendar or make my own!


  • Can’t believe it’s Dec 1 tomorrow! Better rush out and get one of these packs. What a fun way to count down to Christmas!


  • Such a great idea… I think we might have to make our own with our favourites. So inspired!


  • I wish someone would buy me one of these one year for Christmas. These sound like so much fun. Maybe I need to be my own secret santa and buy myself one as a treat!


  • I got the boozebud one and hubby got yeah the beers so keen to start Tomorrow


  • I wonder if they also make cocktail advent calendars! That would be cool


  • These really make a great gift but it has to be an early present given before Christmas. Great for that someone who you won’t get to spend it with. International ones as well as Australian is a good option but I like the one with the merchandise too to break it up a little. If I pop into BWS I can get most of my shopping done with these great suggestions.


  • I am so grabbing one of these for my hubby this year!! great idea.


  • My boozebud calendar arrived yesterday yippeeeeeeee


  • Eeeep excited – I managed to track down a craft cartel for my 20 year old son. It will be waiting for him under the tree when he gets home from Uni. Get in quick, they sell out fast!


  • 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).


  • Who doesn’t love a good alcholic advent calendar


  • 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.


  • 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.


  • What a great present. A good way to sample a variety.


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


  • 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.


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


  • 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.


  • 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


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


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


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


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


  • 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


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