Check out our latest list of beer advent calendars here
For those who enjoy a tipple, then the beer advent calendars for 2020 are worth buying but which one is the best for you?
There’s no doubt that a quality advent calendar will deliver a very merry Christmas in the run-up to the big day for beer lovers everywhere.
And this is an opportunity to try new brews and breweries to broaden a drinker’s taste.
In addition, this year also sees the appearance of vegan and low alcohol beers as advent calendar – or as special festive offerings.
So, whether you enjoy a pale ale or craft beer, a beer calendar will help you get into the festive spirit.
However, you need to be quick because lots of alcoholic advent calendars to tend to sell out quickly. Thankfully, most beer advents have a pre-order option for online deals.
This is the Christmas.co.uk rundown of the best beer advent calendars for 2020.
The pork crackling and beer advent calendar
We really enjoyed the offering from the Snaffling Pig Company last year, and their beer calendar is a cracker.
We all know that beer will go with a lot of different foods, and pork crackling will be either at the top of that list – or close to it.
So, why not combine the two with excellent beers and range of pork crackling to enjoy?
There are 12 beers to enjoy which are Wild Hog Pilsner, Mighty Swine lager and Twisted Tail pale ale. The 12 pork crackling bags include marvellous maple, low & slow BBQ and Perfectly Salted flavours.
The Pork Crackling and Beer advent calendar from the Snaffling Pig Company costs £65.
The John Lewis beer advent calendar
For those who like a good range of beers from the UK, the John Lewis advent calendar could be for you.
There 24 beers from UK breweries including stouts, IPAs, pilsners and lagers as well as ales.
Recipients get to enjoy beers from breweries as diverse as Thornbridge, Cold Bath Brewing Co., Harviestoun Brewer, The Wild Beer Co. and Alechemy Brewery.
The John Lewis beer advent calendar for 2020 costs £75.
The Beer52 advent calendar
We really enjoyed the Beer52 advent calendar because the first door to open reveals a lovely limited edition tasting glass. A real beer drinker’s treat!
There are 24 beers from 14 countries, and they cover 16 different beer styles.
The breweries include La Trappe, Tempest and De Molen.
Altogether, the beer is worth more than £100 and another incentive for this offering is a scratch card with the winner picking up more free beer from Beer52.
Apparently, thousands of craft beer fans really enjoy this annual offering so if it appeals to you as a hoppy Christmas present, then you need to act quickly.
At £59.99, the Beer52 advent calendar is one of the cheapest advent calendars we have found this year. Highly recommended.
Best of the rest beer advent calendars
Another popular choice as a beer advent calendar is from BrewDog.
While the beers are not to everyone tastes – though marshmallow chocolate stout may appeal – their calendar is one of the cheapest.
It costs £49.95 and with 24 craft beers, drinkers can enjoy two beers that are only available in the calendar, along with 15 new beer launches from this year and six online exclusive beers.
Another unusual offering is worth taking note of, and that is the Beerwulf advent calendar costing £61.99.
Drinkers get to enjoy 24 exclusive beers from some of the world’s leading breweries, but the calendar also includes invitations to virtual tastings and events – plus exclusive festive content.
There’s a mix of beers from breweries from the US and Belgium, so expect an interesting mix of white beer, lager and IPA.
There’s certainly no shortage of choice when it comes to choosing quality beer advent calendars in 2020!
