Very important question: Beer Advent Calendars

Can’t speak for the city bottle shops, but highly endorse the beer cellar Advent calendar. Never had an old ipa, and includes a wide variety of styles. It’s a great holiday palate reset

 

I will personally donate a 2007 bcbs and a 2012 Westy 12 to this cause.

 

This is a fantastic idea for a beer Advent calendar. On the purchase link, not too many additional details yet but it mentions:

 

Beer on the wall has a cool 24 day beer advent calendar. Comes in a festive cardboard box, with pull squares to open every day. I enjoyed it last year, they are preordering for this year already. They have locations in Arlington Heights and Park Ridge.

Another Illinois beer Advent calendar with a variety of pick up locations.

Nice little article on Beer Cellar’s advent calendar

 

Passing along what was said in a meme from a friend, "According to my beer Advent calendar, Christmas is in three days."

 

Anyone find any goodies in their advent calendar thus far? I made my purchase at bitter pops and so far they’ve all been beers I’ve never tried before. Double caramel mocha chip frappe’ccino from Scorched Earth was a fun one to try

 

So far from The Green Lady:
Day 1: Revolution Cafe Deth
Day 2: Other Half DDH Double Mosaic Daydream
Day 3: 3F Oude Geuze 17/18
Day 4: Brooklyn Hand & Seal
Day 5: Maplewood Softcore Mutation Foeder Cherries
Day 6: St Errant Chroniques - Citra & a TGL 9th anniversary t-shirt

 

A plug for someone who is compiling data for at least 13 Chicagoland calendars at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xqyGJI4yNEzlyILGw_CSxsD3rME1ggGylN756LawSyE

 

Holy shit, that is an impressive list so far.

 

To be fair, it's a $250 box. But yeah, looks great!
