Holiday boozy advent calendars and gift packs
November 27, 2021
It’s getting close to Beer Advent Calendar time again, so while I’ve been working on assembling the (secret…ish) list of this year’s daily Advent picks, I’ve also been making a note of the various press releases hitting my inbox for holiday themed specialty packs—mostly in the format of Advent calendars or “12 Days of Christmas” sets, of course.
The 12 Beers of Christmas mix pack returns again this year from Clown Shoes of Massachusetts. Not all of the beers are explicitly holiday themed, but at least a few of them are. From the release:
For the second year in a row, Boston-based Clown Shoes Beer is releasing its mix pack of 12 different beers in a range of styles and ABVs – but this year, 7 beers have been added to the mix for the first time. With a selection of past favorites and cans coming out of the Clown Shoes vault, 12 Beers of Christmas is sure to impress craft beer novices and aficionados alike.
The beers in this year’s pack are:
- Reindeer Games – Bavarian IPA
- Space Cupcake – IPA
- The Exorcist – Dry-hopped Stout
- Lil’ Crispy – Crisp Ale
- Space Cake – Double IPA
- The Barista – Breakfast Brown Ale w/ Espresso
- Mango Farm – IPA w/ Mango
- Royal Standard – Wee Heavy
- Galacticake – Double IPA
- Clementine – White Ale
- One Man Holiday – Belgian Quad
- Advent Undead – Imperial Stout w/ Mandarin Orange
