DIY Beer Advent Calendar

Hopefully evil twin xmas eve is for the 24th? What's #1?

Bad ass calendar and really cool of you to put this together. I did. Something similar 2 years ago for my brothers for the 12 days

Now if only my bro-in-law would do some thing like this for me haha

 

Beer Advents are def an awesome gift!! You went all out on your choices man, Kudos!!!

We offer a hand selected 24 beers in a case off of our MYO-6 wall of over 440 choices with tissue paper for wrapping and it has been a great success. We even had one person email and let me know that mini cupcake foils fit the tops of the beers and that regular cupcake foils fit the cans to keep them from peeking at the tell tale caps!!

 

Do you have any single sisters? I want you for a brother-in-law.

 

This is an amazing idea. Good job

 

That is awesome! Did you attach a story about the origin of the beer for him to read before opening each beer?

 

This is such a fun idea. I have not done one yet but maybe this year. =)

 

Thats seriously awesome. Awesome job!

 

That's a great gift and a fine selection of beers, @cjelden.

Also: "Hop Suplex" is a pretty fantastic name for a beer. Nice one.

 

That is a rock solid group of beers. I was not as giving as you because I only made myself a beer advent calendar this year. It is my first time to make one. I put mine in a random order to make it a bit of a surprise even though I know the bottle list.

 

That's what my wife gave me for Christmas this year. They're all winter/Christmas seasonals. Great idea.

 

I figured to try a 12 days of Christmas.

This will be the fourth year now that 11 of my friends and I do this. Every person gets assigned 2 days and a person for Christmas Day. Needless to say, I am quite excited for tomorrow.

 

Sounds like a cool idea going to have to try this sometime.

 

I saw a beer advent calendar at Costco the other day! It was all German beers. Cool idea!

I don't remember exactly what it looked like, but I think this may be the company responsible:

Awesome idea, I have done a "beer countdown" the past two years where I have a different beer each day from Dec. 1st to 31st as a countdown to the New Year. I've never thought about packaging something up like this though. Kudos.
