Topic: 2016 Craft Beer Advent Calendar

So, did anyone pre-order one? 

[GrantC]

Nope, was just planning on picking one up from a liquor store other than Sherbrooke.

After seeing what I thought was mixed reviews on here from last years, I was on the fence about whether it was worth it or not.

Depends on which one you get.  I found the Parallel 49 calendar to be well worth it.  The craft one, not as much.

Wish I could get it here in Onterrible!

There has to be a cheaper one then them.  They're like $150 there now.

Imagine how much decent beer you can get for $150. At $20 a six pack for (upper limit) Lagunitas you can get 7 six packs. I know where I'm going for my "advent" calendar.

Forgot beer advent calendars even existed, but at $150 I will go with your plan especially because I am a cheap drunk.

Last year, by february, the leftovers ones were so deeply discounted at like $40/case.

[Cagare]

Yeah, I regretted buying the one at $150 the one year.  The other two that were available were from Canadian brewers, and I did not mind paying a little extra because they did brew a few one-offs for those cases which were pretty cool.

For $150 ($6.25/beer) I totally agree with you.  I'm hoping that I can find it for $100-120.

On that note, the Philips "snow case" is worth it... once.  It seems to be the same their full range of normal beers, plus one or two seasonal (that they do every year).

So it's cool to learn their range, but that's is.

[Hound]

Superstore liquor has them for $125 ish.  Got mine!

[Hound]

2 weeks to go.  Anyone else get one?

[GrantC]

Just you & me again.

You won't see a snow case.  Phillips isn't making one this year.

The left half of that pic is the Red Racer advent calendar which was cheaper, fyi.

I'm tempted to get one as well.  Did you get it from Sherbrooke?

The wife was super tempted by that, until I pointed out Stiegel makes more than just the Radler...
