It's the most wonderful time of the year. Beer Advent Calendar Season! Last year's blog post on the Beer Advent Calendars talked about how these were beginning to be big business for breweries and beer suppliers across the globe and this year it's really ramped up. Pretty much every beer retailer appear to be offering their take on a beer advent calendar and many breweries are offering their own. Last year, I also collated this spreadsheet with a list of the contents of some of the calendars on offer as I thought it might be useful this year. And it was. I now know to avoid Flavourly's offering like the plague - offering an advent calendar with multiple duplicate beers is absolute clown shoes. There were some good looking boxes last year and with even more choice this year, it made the decision quite difficult.

I toyed with the idea of creating my own but I like the element of surprise so ended up buying one ready to go. Before I reveal the one I plumped for, I thought I'd round-up a few that had caught my eye that may be worth checking out if you're still trying to make a decision yourself. (It's probably too late to order some of these as I've been lazy with writing this). Anyway, behold...

I'm not going to list every single one because that'd take forever and some are probably terrible. Here are the ones we like the look of the most.
