My BC Beer Advent Calendar
I saw a tweet this evening asking about beer advent calendars. Some of the local liquor stores actually had these a few weeks ago… but they looked kinda lame, at least to me. But if I were to roll my own, what would I put in it? I’ve tried to limit the list to beers that I assume to be generally available. There are a few beers that I’d list, but they’re only available on-tap: Crannog Backhand of God, Red Truck Brown Porter, Storm Black Plague Stout, etc.
Nonetheless, here we go:
- Driftwood Fat Tug IPA
- Lighthouse Switchback IPA
- Red Racer IPA
- Swans Extra IPA
- Philips Amnesiac Double IPA
- Mt Begbie Nasty Habit IPA
- Red Racer ESB
- R&B East Side Bitter
- Howe Sound Baldwin & Cooper Best Bitter
- Moon Under Water Blue Moon Bitter
- Swans Appleton Brown Ale
- Howe Sound Rail Ale Nut Brown
- Lighthouse Keepers Stout
- Red Racer Oatmeal Stout
- Howe Sound Diamond Head Oatmeal Stout
- Swans Oatmeal Stout
- Parallel 49 Ugly Sweater Milk Stout
- Howe Sound Pothole Filler Imperial Stout
- Driftwood Singularity Russian Imperial Stout
- Phillips Longboat Chocolate Porter
- Townsite Pow Town Porter
- Driftwood Blackstone Porter
- Parallel 49 Salty Scot
- Parallel 49 Black Christmas
I might need to do some tweaking of the specific ordering… but I think this might my goal for December! Acquire all of the above and drink them like an advent calendar. It’s like being a kid again. But with beer.
