A Craft Beer Advent Calendar is the gift that keeps on giving all holiday season. Well, 24 days of it at least. But what better gift is there for those special craft beers fans in your life than a craft beer each day during the first 24 days of December? These seasonal countdowns allow beer lovers to discover a new brew every day leading up to Christmas, making the holiday season even merrier.
Beer advent calendar boxes work the same way as an advent calendar: Open a dated “door” or a slot and receive a small gift. In this case, it’s beer. The advent box has 24 individually numbered doors to be opened and enjoyed on each of the 24 days leading up to Christmas, beginning on Dec.
1. Each beer advent calendar includes a variety of beer styles, such as lagers, ambers, stouts, IPAs and sours. These calendars also often include a mix of popular and hard-to-find brews, sometimes even exclusive or limited-edition beers from local, regional, national and international breweries.
Opening the daily “door” becomes a shared ritual, and whether you’re buying one as a gift or treating yourself, it’s a festive, flavorful way to make the season a little brighter, one beer at a time. Here are a handful of local options to try. The 24 selections in the Magic Bear beer advent calendar have been curated by an expert Certified Cicerone® and Magic Bear owner Craig Altabello.
