Costco Brewer’s Advent Calendar 2018: The Beers Are Here

Note: This post was updated on 10/31/2018.

The temperatures are dropping, the leaves are falling, and pumpkin is once again the main ingredient in, well, everything. Whatever associations you may have with fall, for me it meant checking out my local Costco. Lo and behold: The Brewer’s Advent Calendar 2018 has arrived. Sporting the same familiar look as last year’s edition, it was easy to spot. After a quick glance at the contents of the calendar, I decided to buy it once more. For around $65 you too can be the proud owner of one of year end’s best traditions.

Germany and A Lullaby That Rocks

Travel Tracks: Germany

Germany, Austria or Switzerland? For this week’s Travel Tracks I could have gone with either country. “Was Du Liebe Nennst” happens to be massively popular in all these three countries right now. As Bausa is from Germany, I went with his home country. After Italy and the Netherlands, this is the third week in a row that Travel Tracks features a rapper.

Brewer’s Advent Calendar 2017: Beer 15-24

For the homestretch of the Brewer’s Advent Calendar 2017, I present to you the 10 remaining beers. On the last days before Christmas I harvested ales, several Märzen, Festbier, Dunkelweizen, Helles, Zwickelbier and dark bock. Let’s take a look at the eclectic collection of beers, before the Advent calendar makes its way to the recycling bin.

Brewer’s Advent Calendar 2017: Beer 1-3

December is here, so that means that I started opening the cardboard doors on this year’s Brewer’s Advent Calendar from Costco.

The coming weeks I will give you an overview of the beers that are in the calendar, and what they are like. I am not claiming to be a connoisseur, so I won’t get too technical in describing the beer.

All 24 beers in the box are German, and come in 16.9 oz. (500 ml) cans.

These three beers started off the Advent.
