Beer52 Advent Calendar

Beer52 Advent Calendar 2026 : 24 exclusive craft beers across 12 styles

The Beer52 Advent Calendar 2026 lines up 24 unique craft beers behind its 24 doors, one for each day of the countdown. Every beer is brewed exclusively for this box, spanning 12 styles and 10 countries, from an 8.1% imperial stout by The Garden Brewery to a 3.4% hazy IPA by Aegir Bryggeri. Six of them come as 440ml tallboy cans, the rest in 330ml format.

This is Beer52’s own selection, not a shelf grab: the UK’s biggest craft beer club picks the lineup and throws in an exclusive Beer52 tasting glass. Expect names like Arbor Ales, Burning Sky and Moonwake alongside brewers from Italy, Croatia, Czechia, Slovenia, Spain, Norway and Argentina.

What’s inside the Beer52 Advent Calendar

Twenty-four beers, one glass, and no two labels the same. The breakdown Beer52 gives for 2026:

• 24 exclusive craft beers, each brewed specially for the calendar
• 12 different styles: stout, porter, IPA, lager, pale ale, red ale and more
• 10 countries represented, with seven overseas brewers in the mix
• 6 beers in 440ml tallboy cans, the remaining 18 in 330ml
• One exclusive Beer52 tasting glass

The range runs from easy session beers around 3.4 to 4.5% up to an 8.1% imperial stout, so there’s room to pace yourself through December. A handful of collaborations stand out, including Jiddler’s Tipple with St Austell on a 5.5% IPA.

Is the Beer52 Advent Calendar worth it?

Beer52 puts the contents at worth over £95, which is the brand’s own figure rather than a price you’d pay. A plainer way to read it: divide the ticket price across the 24 beers and each one lands at roughly £2.92, which is fair for exclusive craft cans you can’t buy on a supermarket shelf. New customers also get a free Beer52 intro case, worth £27, on top. The tasting glass is the one piece that outlasts December.

My verdict on the 2026 edition

What I like most is the spread. Twelve styles across ten countries is genuinely varied, and with every beer exclusive to the box there are no repeats to pad the count, which is the thing that usually sinks a beer calendar. The six 440ml cans feel generous next to the usual all-330ml format.

Where I’d pause is the mix of strengths. Opening a 3.4% hazy IPA on one day and an 8.1% imperial stout the next won’t suit everyone, and a couple of entries sit in the awkward middle. As Beer52’s buying team puts it, the aim is a calendar ‘to take you around the world of beer’, and on variety it delivers. Craft beer drinkers who like to be surprised will get on with it; anyone after a single favourite style on repeat should look elsewhere.

Beer52 2026 compared to last year

Last year’s Beer52 calendar ran at £64.99; the 2026 edition is £5 dearer. The core promise is the same, 24 exclusive beers behind 24 doors, but this year the box adds an exclusive tasting glass and a fresh lineup built around 12 styles and 10 countries. The headline brewer list has turned over too, with Arbor Ales, Burning Sky, The Garden Brewery and Fierce Beer among the 2026 names. If you bought in before, it’s a familiar format with new liquid inside and a glass you didn’t get last time.
