   Thanks for indicating ‘full-size’ cans up top. The last picture makes them look tiny.

   Any idea if these are the same beers as last years box? My husband loved this but I’m not sure it’s worth the $60 if it’s the same ones he already tried!

  I follow their Facebook page and someone asked them that question. Here is their response: “there will be 12 new beers. Thanks to all the ratings we have received, we have kicked out the bad ones and replaces them by the new ones. The populars from the last year will be repeated.”

  Do you know if these are thick German beers/ales or if they are more American in style.

  These are German varieties, so no not American style. What do you mean by “thick”? German, Belgian, and English beer is no “thicker” than American beer. I think what you are getting at is malt verse hops. American beers, regardless of the style, are over-hopped which is akin to dumping salt on something you really don’t like. British and European beers rely on flavor from the grains, etc to stand out while hops play a background role. If that makes it “thick” than yes they are thick. Otherwise these sets usually consist of lagers, dopplebocks, Helles, and maybe one or two rauchbier (smoked beers). None of these style will be over-hopped, rather dry hopped, which essentially means when you open it you will not get a rush of hops on the nose. What you will get is malty-sweetness. Most of these beers fall somewhere around the more onlinemonly known brews of St. Paulaners; Ayinger; and Spaten. There are obvious variations, but if you don’t like those chances are you won’t like the pack.

  If you know a Costco member, Jennifer, they can buy you a Costco Cash Card. You can shop and buy things in Costco with one of their gift cards and no membership card is needed.

   I bought this for my husband last year. He was really disappointed. Didn’t like even one of the beers. Total waste of money.

  Maybe your husband has terrible taste for real beer?

  Seems like most of them carry the advent calendars. I would call ahead. Take care!

  Not sure. You might want to call the store! In Sun Prairie WI, they sold out in a day

    Do they have a quote or phrase behind every window because that could potential be an opportunity to be really funny being that this is for adults.
