This is the first I have heard of such a thing. Conceptually, it makes me very happy. In reality, it would probably be all IPA crap beers or somesuch, and hardly any Zima. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldendesign Posted October 21, 2021 Share #4 Posted October 21, 2021 I saw it at Costco last week. Was gonna buy it for the wife since she likes german beers. But it was kinda pricey. Went out for a nice dinner and several brews at one of the local breweries instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted October 21, 2021 Share #5 Posted October 21, 2021 I heard of a whiskey advent calendar as well. I would like to try that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather wander into a beer place and just pick a bunch of 4 or 6 packs and work through them over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted October 21, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 21, 2021 It’s an Advent calendar, though. Of course anyone can pick up a few interesting beers. That’s not the point of the Advent countdown to Christmas, the anticipation of not knowing what’s behind each day’s little door, opening the seal and finding the unexpected. To be fair, mr. didn’t want to drink some of the beers, but he always liked the moment of anticipation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about DISAPPOINTMENT!!! Santa Claus is ALL about bringing JOY, and the wrong beer at the wrong time can screw up a meal royally. Not to mention, refrigerating that box would be annoying!

Kirby Posted October 21, 2021 Share #9 Posted October 21, 2021 My wild sister gave me a tea advent calendar last year, and I've seen wine calendars as well. I don't recall a beer calendar, but I don't really drink beer much, so I'm less likely to see it. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be a beer snob by the time we hit the Asian leg of the journey! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Claus is ALL about bringing JOY, Advent is loosely related to Santa Claus, though. It’s the Christian season of “you’ll take whatever the hell is behind that door and like it, you ungrateful brat.” The season of anticipation for God’s grace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
