About Beer Cartel Beer Advent Calendar 2026
Beer Cartel's 2026 beer advent calendar is a black 25-window box from the Sydney craft beer shop, sized to fit a fridge and packed with 25 cans brewed exclusively for it by 25 independent Australian breweries, the 25th one for Christmas Day itself. Beer Cartel names every brewery (Aether, Akasha, Banks, Bridge Road, Moon Dog, Bodriggy, Ocean Reach, Frenchies, Sailors Grave, Goodland, Blackmans, Hawkers, Hop Nation, Shapeshifter, Philter, Capital, Mountain Culture, Sea Legs, Bright, Reckless, Modus, Slow Lane, Bells Beach, White Bay and Yulli's) and the styles, from a sour IPA, a Belgian tripel and a saltbush farmhouse ale to a barrel-aged imperial stout, a Cherry Ripe stout and a West Coast pilsner, without saying which brewery made which; it puts the beer inside at 240 AUD.
174.99 AUD at beercartel.com.au as a pre-order, dispatching from the second week of November; Australia only, shipped in an unmarked outer box.

Beer Cartel Beer Advent Calendar 2026 by the numbers
How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the record at build time and set against the median of the same season and the same kind of contents. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Where the record cannot support a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing.The definitions, one by one →Each figure against the median of this season's alcohol shelf — 15 calendars. Green is the better side of the median, red the worse; the median is printed so you can disagree.
