We’ve made it to the end of the #BeerAdventCalendar, with our final day before Christmas bringing a holiday classic that I enjoy every year (and you should be too!): Celebration IPA from #SierraNevadaBrewing.

Today’s #BeerAdventCalendar pick strays (slightly) from the Christmas theme, because it’s my birthday! And my tradition is to choose a “birthday” #beer for the day, one that I’d like to drink and share. This year I’m keeping it local with #SunriverBrewing, which has a line of barrel-aged beers in its Wood Series, and in particular one fit for a birthday: Chocolate Ice Cream Imperial Stout.
Today’s #BeerAdventCalendar pick comes to use from Belgium and #BrouwerijSlaapmutske, which offers a range of beers that include some #GlutenFree options. For the holidays, Slaapmutske (which means “sleeping cap” in English) brews up its Christmas, a malty, Dubbel-adjacent ale that is also gluten free.

Happy #Solstice! Today is the winter solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, the “official” first day of winter, and the longest night of the year. To commemorate the day we have Base Layer Winter IPA from #WestSixthBrewing of Kentucky as our #BeerAdventCalendar pick.
Yesterday I bought the Christmas beer which can be bought here in Spain (see https://mastodon.social/@antoniovr/111613108502642768 )
Unfortunately my cat decided he would be the first opening the beer this year! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Today is #GoCarolingDay in which we revel in the joy of Christmas carolers (and all types of Christmas music), so for the #BeerAdventCalendar pick of the day I chose one to match the theme: Jingle Bells from #ØrbækBryggeri of Denmark (one-horse open sleigh not included).

Nestled up against the shore of Lake Eerie, #Cleveland, Ohio is one of America’s big #CraftBeer cities, with over 40 breweries in the region. Among those, #CollisionBendBrewing sits right on the Cuyahoga River (it even has private dock space for boats) churning out a wide variety of beers, including a Christmas one—Christmas Staycation Holiday Ale.
Today’s #BeerAdventCalendar pick comes from #EnegrenBrewing of California, which focuses on German-inspired beers with an emphasis on lagers. This time of year Enegren brews up a #Weihnachtsbock, also known as Christmas Bock, for holiday enjoyment.

For some reason I’ve only ever selected one #beer from New Zealand in all the years I’ve been doing the #BeerAdventCalendar, so today’s pick rectifies that situation. The beer today is a strong spiced ale from #DuncansBrewing, brewed in collaboration with Apostle Hot Sauce—San Nicholás.

Today’s #BeerAdventCalendar pick takes us to central Washington, where #BaleBreakerBrewing crafts a variety of beers from its location on a working hop farm. As you might expect, many of the beers are hop-forward, so it’s no surprise that the brewery releases an après-ski winter IPA this time of year—High Camp Winter IPA.
