Figuring I was much too late and missed out, I vowed to not miss out this year. I was also seeing his postings on Untappd for these beers and asked him where he was finding them, admitting I was jealous that I wasn’t able to try those beers.Īfter he told me about the Brewer’s Advent calendar he picked up, I went to Costco and was unable to find one in stock. My neighbor had picked one up at his local Costco (not our local Costco – he works out of state for the time being and found one there). The first I heard about the Brewer’s Advent Calendar was in early December last year. I may be mis-remembering, but I also seem to recall reading about somebody who was improvising a beer Advent Calendar while they were visiting family in Germany – the he was trying to sample as a different beer each day, choosing from the wide variety of local German brewers that he had not or could not find product from in the United States.
I ran across this article and thought the idea of improvising a Beer Advent calendar, with a different beer every day for 24 days, was an intriguing idea. I first found out that Advent Beer calendars existed – as an idea if not an actual pre-packaged item for sale – when I was researching German Christmas beers, or Weihnachtsbier. Wait – did I just type ‘beer’? How in the world did I miss this?!!
There are also Advent calendars geared for adults, with things like, teas, coffees, chocolates, beer and hot sauces being available. Usually geared for children, they have spots to be opened once every day during advent – or at least between December 1 and Christmas Eve – and toys, candy or other treats are available. I have seen them over the years but have never really found – or looked for them in the states.
