That's it, we've made it! #cccraftvent is officially done. Day 24 and the beer is a salted caramel Choc-chip cookie stout from Amundsen Brewery. What a treat to finish off with.
Craft Central curated an excellent box of beers this year, all of which were new to me (usually my biggest gripe with advent boxes). Looking forward to this one for dessert tonight. 🎄🍻
The penultimate beer of the #cccraftvent season and it's a beautiful IPA from Root and Branch Brewing in NY. Cheers to day 23 :)

Wow man, check out this cool wax drip! Definitely more of a Halloween theme going on the can, but I tried my best to give it some festive flair. Day 22 of #cccraftvent by Craft Central and it's this Latte Imperial Stout by Hop Top Brewing, Hungary.
Day 21 of #cccraftvent from Capital Craft and it's a milkshake sour from Skygazer Brewing Co in Connecticut. Nice for mid week at 5.5%

On the 20th day of Christmas, Craft Central gave to me... An IPA from Other Half Brewing in NYC. Sounds good to toast my last working day of the year with!
We're down to the last 6 days of #cccraftvent and for day 19 it's Sour Monday. Love to see it. This one is a watermelon and blackberry sour with vanilla from Evil Twin Brewing in NYC - weird combo but it works.
Barley seems to approve day 18 of #cccraftvent which is a Double Fruited Mango Milkshake Pale Ale from Mad Scientist in Budapest. Pours just like mango juice and is creamy, thick and full of juicy mango. its so fruity that if you told me this was a boozy mango juice, I'd believe you.

And today's #cccraftvent from Craft Central is a New Zealand Cold TIPA from Horizont in Hungary.
Tbh we'll try this one tomorrow only but it looks well interesting!
A day late for #cccraftvent ... Whoops. Day 16 brings an imperial stout with coffee, coconut and marshmallow by Fat Orange Cat out of Connecticut - Dessert in a can!
Day 15 of #cccraftvent from Craft Central and we have a mixed berry Gose, one of my fave beer styles. I'm thrilled to bits. Sour, fruity, lil salty. Delish from Friends Company Brewing out of Sweden.

An interesting take on a west coast IPA for day 14 of #cccraftvent. It's bitter for sure but also has some atypical juicy notes, while also somehow being a tad insipid. Seems a bit muddled to me, but then this isn't a BJCP review ;)
Loving all these new beers for advent, this one from Basqueland in Spain.

Day 13 of #cccraftvent and it's this damn delicious Raspberry and Grapefruit Berliner Weisse from Brewski in Sweden.
It's bitter, tart and so refreshing.

Day 12 and we're half way there (loving on a prayer) through our #cccraftvent - today is a DDH DIPA. It's actually just a NEIPA with extra dry hopping, don't be fooled. Not bad regardless.
Day 11 and today's beer is a blueberry and lemon sour from Prairie Ales. A nice change from the Imp Stouts and Barleywines of late. Quite a tame sour, but has some nice blueberry tartness.

Righto. Day 10 of #cccraftvent from Craft Central. This advent box has been insanely good so far, absolutely worth the price. This one is a 13% Barleywine with almond and pecan. A Collab between Timber Ales, Horus Aged Ales and Mindful Ales (all US based).
It's well boozy, with some marzipan sweetness. A slow sipper for sure.

Whoops. Missed day 8's beer. Blame being poorly for half the week 🙈

Day 9 of #cccraftvent and this looks like a real treat. Bourbon barrel aged Imp stout with molasses, ginger, graham crackers and spices. Sounds like Christmas in a can by The Bruery.

Day 7 of #cccraftvent - a session IPA from Crak Brewery in Italy. This one isn't really for me. Nothing wrong with it exactly, but just doesn't light me up.

Day 6 from of #cccraftvent is a Dry Hopped Porter from Dry & Bitter Brewing. Very cool that it's linked to the debut album of Dead Void, a metal band from Denmark. Very cool art, nicely hopped and roasty.

Day 5 of #cccraftvent and this is a banger of a pear, cinnamon & clove Gose by Horizont Brewing. Phenomenal can art again, and lovely beer. It's not often that I can taste pear in beer (for shame) but this one I can. Nice clove too. Quite Christmassy.
