Tis' the season to be wobbly.
Another year is almost over, they seem to be going quicker and quicker! The moment has come where we have waved goodbye to summer, and a juicy blueberry Berliner Weisse in the sun. Instead, we park our selves next to the fire and embrace a silky, nutty stout to warm your soul.

Another extremely exciting looking calendar this year! Looks like we are spoilt for choice. It has EVERYTHING, 24 beers just like the rest on the list, but the variety sounds fantastic! Within these 24 beers, you will find 20 different styles, originating from 9 countries. Doesn't sound so special? half of these beers are exclusively brewed for this calendar, including 4 limited edition collaboration brews! With breweries including Boundary, Cloudwater, Pühaste, and Northern Monk. You are definitely in for a treat!

Brew Dog
Three! Brew Dog are well in the craft beer advent calendar game! This year they are offering three different calendars, all varying in price and content. Let's start with the cheapest.
Pack Leaders Advent Calendar
Enjoy a light beer? This entry pack from brew dog will be the calendar to go for. Expect 20 of the core beers from Brew Dog, along with a handful of others, excluding the stouts (those come later). At £40 not bad for a craft beer newbie!
Premium Advent Calendar
Are you a little more of a Brew Dog connoisseur? This pack will contain similar to the above, although with the addition to some cockle warming dark beers and limited releases. If variety is your thing, this is the one for you, setting you back £75.
The EFP Advent Calendar
For the ultimate Brew Dog fan and share holder. This pack is exclusive to those who are part of the EFP (Equity For Punks), If you have shares in Brew Dog, get yourself signed up and enjoy a range of limited releases and collectable beers, including dark and barely wines. This exciting looking calendar will set you back £110 of your well earned cash.
Beer hawk
Beer Hawk are offering a pretty interesting looking calendar this year, no fancy name, simply the 'Beer Hawk 2019 Advent Calendar'. On the face of it, £59.99 seems expensive? not when you are provided with £80 worth of beers! Seems like more of a bargain to me! Especially when you look at the range of beer included, let's look at the numbers. You get 24 beers in total, in 15 different styles, and sourced from 14 countries! If that's not variety I'm not sure what is! If that's not enough to get you interested.. Did I not mention the breweries that are involved? Mikkeller, Thornbridge, Amundsen, Magic Rock, Wild Beer, Bosteels.. plus many more. Sounds good!
Beer Wulf
Oh the secret-ism! I like this from Beer Wulf! something different from the above calendars, they seem quite reluctant to give too much away with their calendar! Only stating a couple of little facts about it. They say it supplies 24 beers... all from different breweries! That's something that will entice a few customers, but on the other hand, when spending £49.99 on a beer calendar, some beer fans may want to know more about where the beer is coming from. The only hint they give you, is that they have collaborated with a brewery! Meaning you will receive an exclusive beer from Jopen brewery, only found in this calendar!
Choose wisely! And have a Hoppy Christmas!
