We’ve written previously about our Beer Advent Calendar and the awesomely designed advent box it comes in but this article is a complete review on how it compares to other options sold around the world and in Australia.

First off though we thought we’d share what others have said about Beer Cartel’s Beer Advent Calendar.

On our product page you can see over 60 reviews with an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars!

And if that wasn’t enough to convince you that this is the best advent calendar here are two other ratings from previous customers.

Since 2016 we’ve sent a follow up survey to customers asking for their feedback and rating of our Beer Advent Calendar. This is sent in January once everyone has sampled all the beers.

In 2016 they rated our Beer Advent Calendar 8.5 out of 10.

And in 2017 we backed this up with another 8.5 out of 10.

We’re proud of this rating especially considering how subjective beer can be and knowing the beers featured will not always be to everyone’s favourite taste. Not bad for a beer selection that was sampled by over 4,000 people!

As far as we can tell this makes it the highest and best rated beer advent calendar in the world.
