Why is ours the UK's #1 premium beer advent calendar?
Unrivalled, expert curation: An exquisitely curated collection of 24 super-fresh cans, sourced directly from the most exciting and acclaimed independent craft breweries in the UK and beyond. All killer, no filler, expertly chosen to offer a daily journey through the year's most in-demand styles, including hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, rich imperial stouts, fruited sours and West Coast pales. This is the ultimate gift for the true craft beer enthusiast.
Peak freshness & superstar breweries: We guarantee freshness and excellence. Past calendars have featured heavy hitters such as DEYA, Verdant, Baron, Track and more, and our 2026 line-up promises to be our most spectacular yet. We dispatch all calendars in late November to arrive before 1 December, ensuring every brew is as fresh as humanly possible. Every beer is hand-picked for the occasion too, ensuring you get the perfect brew to savour each day.
The original UK beer advent: Launched in 2015, the HB&B Advent was the UK's first ever beer advent calendar. We've spent 12 years perfecting this experience, building relationships with top breweries and importers to bring you an unrivalled collection of beers that you simply won't find in mainstream beer advents.
What's included:
- 24 independent craft beers: A premium mix of cans showcasing diverse styles and top-rated breweries
- Free UK delivery: Standard Mainland UK shipping is included in the price
- Bonus £5 January voucher: Your advent includes a £5 online shop voucher valid for January 2027 - the perfect perk to kick off the New Year with even more independent beer, wine, or hot sauce.
PLEASE NOTE WHEN ORDERING :)
- Please select the appropriate shipping option at checkout. You can choose from free courier shipping across Mainland UK, free local delivery to selected South London postcodes or collection from our two stores in late November.
- Our advents are already discounted, so discounts/rewards codes or Beer Miles cannot be used for this item (sorry).
- The advents will be shipping out at the end of November, so this item cannot be purchased with other products, except for charity donations :)
- Regretfully we cannot guarantee that all beers will be vegan-friendly - unfortunately we are not able to swap out individual beers.
