The atmosphere of this season has a unique scent: that of lights, traditions, and anticipation. And if there is one thing that in recent years has become an increasingly strong symbol of the transition between autumn and winter, it is precisely the Advent Calendar. But where does this tradition come from? And how did it come to transform into one of the most original gift ideas for lovers of craft beer? Let’s discover it together — and get ready to toast with the Maltese Advent Calendar, a journey through 24 carefully selected craft beers.
The origins of the Advent Calendar: between faith and anticipation
It seems that the history of the Advent Calendar has its roots in 19th-century Germany. Lutheran families began marking the days from the start of December to Christmas by lighting a candle or marking each day with a symbol. Over time, the tradition evolved: the first cardboard windows appeared, often filled with religious images or small sweets, to accompany children in the wait for the holiday.
In the 1950s, the custom spread throughout Europe and, from a simple spiritual tool, it became a convivial ritual capable of bringing together young and old. Today, Advent calendars come in a thousand different versions: from chocolates and herbal teas to those dedicated to the world of craft beer, delighting craft beer enthusiasts.
Our Beer Christmas 2025
In this spirit, the Maltese Beer Advent Calendar was born, an experience designed for those who love to discover, day by day, the authentic and surprising flavors of craft beer.
Inside each calendar are hidden 24 craft beers, carefully selected from the best Italian and international breweries, for a sensory journey that combines curiosity, taste, and sharing.
Each beer is a surprise, a small daily gift: from IPA to Belgian Ale, from enveloping Stout to light and golden Pils, every day becomes an opportunity to discover a new face of the craft beer world.
Our Beer Christmas 2025 is designed to be more than just a box set: it is an invitation to experience Christmas slowly, enjoying the pleasure of discovery, one toast at a time.
A perfect gift idea
The pre-order period has ended, but the Maltese Advent Calendar is still available on the official shop: this means deliveries are active with the usual 48-72h timing.
It’s the perfect gift for those who love craft beer or for those who want to approach this world in a fun and engaging way. A different way to say “Merry Christmas,” scented with malt, hops, and conviviality.
Whether it’s a gift for yourself or a loved one, opening a new beer every day becomes a ritual that brings back the pleasure of anticipation, the excitement of small surprises, and the magic that only the Christmas season can offer.
24 days of taste, discovery, and wonder
The Maltese Advent Calendar celebrates the meeting of two worlds: Christmas tradition and the creativity of craft beer.
A journey in taste, but also in the authentic spirit of Christmas — made of curiosity, sharing, and small moments of daily happiness. Because, after all, every beer holds a story, and every story deserves to be toasted.
