About this deal

Simcoe, arguably our favourite hop, carries this beer - pine, tropical fruit and bitterness are its specialities.

Christmas Craft Beer Gifts | BrewDog UK

There’s something for everyone here (because Christmas is all about sharing, even when it comes to beer), from the deliciously crisp Heresey lager to Absolution, a golden ale first brewed 26 years ago.We loved the packaging, too, with a snow-dusted night sky (featuring 24 circular doors that were easy to open) setting the wintry scene. This is also another calendar that does especially well when it comes to the festive theme, with a great range of delicious bottled beers, several of which have seasonal names. Pineapple, citrus and papaya; single-hopped with Simcoe, Hoppy Christmas is an anti-festive IPA, redolent with summery flavours.

BrewDog - Hoppy Christmas - 6% ABV

Tangy citrus, papaya and pineapple rest on a solid malty base for a merry and bright IPA that’s going to get you feeling all kinds of festive.All of the bottles are hefty 550ml jobs (there are a small number of cans, too) and there are several limited editions and wonderfully weird options – our favourite of which is Monty Python’s Holy Grail pale ale, tempered, apparently, over burning witches. The box’s design is simple but incredibly classy, with a glossy image of a pine cone and ribbon-adorned Christmas wreath. Salute the hop angel as you rocket down a hill, churning up clouds of hops on the back of a baking tray. This product is currently on pre-sale for our investors (Equity For Punks) only and will be dispatched from mid-November onwards. The range of producers is pretty impressive too, with inclusions coming from more established breweries, such as Northern Monk and Le Chouffe, but also from smaller microbreweries.

The traditionalists in us loved the Jaipur pale ale, while beers such as the mocha stout are sure to appeal to those keen on a little hops-related experimentation. Finally, there’s no denying a certain amount of drinking was involved, and, as big fans of beer, with a weakness for anything hop-related, we like to think there’s no better judge for the job. Let’s face it – every Star Wars film will inevitably be played at least once over the festive period, so, this quirky advent calendar is actually pretty festive.Pours out to a medium burnt orange, forming a solid off white head with very good retention and lacing. We’ve got a pet hate for advent calendar doors that are fiddly to open, so we loved the push tabs on this calendar, which made the doors easy to open. True, it may not be the most festive one we’ve come across, but the contents more than make up for it. We never knew there were so many types of pork crackling until we got this calendar, but the versions included are surprisingly delicious (we highly rate the black pepper version). Believe it or not, there’s such a thing (or so we’re told) as too much beer, which is why we were slightly relieved to discover the 24 windows in this reassuringly weighty advent calendar also contained a couple of ciders and a sturdy bottle opener.
