Beer and beer and beer, followed by a beer?

Seriously though, who hosts pictures anymore? Flickr and Photobucket are dead to me.

This year is kind cool for beer.

Day 1 of 24:

Fubar Pale Ale by Tiny Rebel Brewing Co. Delicious beer and a great start.

Day 2 of 24:

Orange Mocha Frap Stout. Colaboration between Tiny Rebel Brewing Co. and Fierce Brew Co. Couldn’t drink this one since it had dairy in it. Wife loved it.

Day 3 of 24:

Mexican IPA by Baja Brewing Co. What a delicious IPA!

Day 4 of 24:

Ay Ay Ay PA Session IPA. Colaboration between Baja Brewing Co. and Cerveceria Cholula. Another delicious IPA.

I went with the German one, I was a few days late so I caught up a few the first night

Pretty good so far! It's interesting though I notice there's like a certain number of "beers" at 4.6% and then a few called "strong beer" at 6% or something along those lines.

It came with this glass too which has surprisingly been enjoyable to drink from!

This one was really good.. no idea what it is

Nothing wrong with a few pre-game beers before work to get you into the Christmas spirit.

Nah, this mornings IG post shows a different beer (todays beer) as I open in the morning and then put in the fridge for the day so it's cold when I get home

YvanF and I have the same Calendar. I think my favorite so far was day 2 the Blau Weisse

kijho · « **Reply #18 on:** December 11, 2018, 10:25:31 pm »

This has been my favorite so far, but very carbonated.. (like bubbles were going crazy inside)

This one was my least favorite thus far, I'm not fancy with the lingo but this tasted like crap

Anyone thinking of picking one up this year? I'm not so sure it's worth the $80-$100 price point honestly... Of the 24 beers, I'd say there were like 3 of the same terrible ones which felt like "fillers" for the box. 6 pack of my fav. beer for a fraction the cost seems better

Winter Ale is back out, which is a chocolate-caramel 'flavored' beer which is nice, occasionally.

Zac · « **Reply #22 on:** November 21, 2019, 07:01:57 pm »

Ended up buying the German one again because I enjoyed it so much last year.
Every try Grandville Island lion head winter ale?

kijho · « **Reply #23 on:** November 21, 2019, 10:29:02 pm »

Yup that’s the winter ale I have here! For some a few weeks ago! It’s not terrible but the more I drink it the less I actually love it hahaha

Hound · « **Reply #24 on:** November 22, 2019, 05:21:33 pm »

I’ve tried that one Zac but I prefer the Chestnut Ale from Whistler Brewing more at the moment.

If anyone is looking for their 2019 advent calendars, Liquor depot has them on sale for $125. Picked mine up today.
