Advent Beer Box – 2026

Overview

This year we’re going festive in the June/July heatwave. We know it’s hard to plan, so we’re taken the risk out it by going early while we’re all too hot to owrry about the long dark, cold winter nights. Here we are in board shorts, looking for festive brewers to brew for one of our annual showpiece events: The Christmas Beer Box.

Before we know it, it’ll be Christmas. We’re keeping this excellent tradition alive and putting in the work to ensure the annual ACB Advent Beer box rides again in 2026.

All we need is your name and commitment to brew 24x bottles of beer ready in time for the swap day (see below). We require 24x brewers to make the box the widest and best selection possible.

Concept and Logistics

If you haven’t participated before, the concept is straightforward:

• Brew
• Drop off
• Collect
• Enjoy

Once you brew your own beer, provide us with 24x bottles (details about logistics and drop-off locations will be announced). In return, you’ll receive a box containing 24x distinct beers, one to enjoy through each day of Advent.

Once we have all the brewers, we set up local hubs to drop off to and pick up your mixed cases from.

Sign Up

Please take part, and RSVP to this event by accepting it above.

All beers are welcome. They don’t have to be winter beers, brewer’s are free to choose any style.

As usual, the deadline for acceptance is October 31, 2026, and we kindly request that your beers be ready for the last week of November. This timeframe allows you to plan and brew and for us to do the leg work and coordinate distribution to ensure everyone receives their assortment of beers by December 1st.

Join in to make 2026 a Ho-ho-ho Hoppy Christmas! 🙂
