    No shortage of beer around here. The test will be to rate each beer daily on the BA.

    Is that the Costco one? I was curious about that, seemed to be priced pretty fairly, especially if the beers are good and reasonably fresh!

    A gift, but I think she said Costco.

    Interesting idea. It would be cool to see several breweries do something similar.

    I showed my wife the Canadian Advent Beer Calendar. None of her friends in Canada could get and ship one for her so she gave me a case of Heady and said "One a day"

    I received something similar from a local craft beer store (part of a larger chain) pretty excited to see what they put in the box - what's in the box!

    My girlfriend made me one last year. Awesome thing. She said she spent over 2 hours in total wine picking out bottles and an hour making by labels. We ended the calendar with 2014 Lolita on Christmas Day. Love that girl!

    Told my gf I wanted to make a Beer Advent calendar this year. She took the idea and ran with it. I printed out slips of paper with beer names on them and had a friend slip them into the pouches so that we could be surprised. All the beers are chilling in the fridge ready to consume.

    Wifey gave me a case of Heady and a bottle of Barrel Aged Narwhal for "Santa's snack" on Christmas Eve.

    Edit: The Heady is for Advent... not all for Santa's snack

    This looks really good, OP. Hell...even if it looked absolutely shitty, your bro-in-law should be excited for a tasty December!
