Christmas time, mistletoe and… beer?
If a craft beer or pale ale tickles your fancy more than a mulled wine, why not treat yourself to a beer advent calendar?
Christmas may still be a few weeks away, but it’s never to early to get yourself into the festive spirit, or in this case, the festive hop.
A lot of alcohol advent calendars sell out pretty quickly from their first release day (we can’t ever imagine why…), so if you want to get your hands on one you’ll need to act fast.
Top contenders in this field come from Beer Hawk and Honest Brew.
We’ve rounded up some of the best beer advent calendars you can buy right now for every kind of beer enthusiast.
