DAY 4 - Give your liver a break today.

No beer today. We thought your liver might need a little break after that 13 percent-er yesterday. Day 4 is some Sixer swag - a Sixer can glass + a Sixer Sticker! This year, we released our year-round Sixer Light Lager -- our first lager available in both 6 & 12-packs!

With the super cool, vintage-sportswear-inspired design, we thought you would enjoy having a Sixer can glass in the cabinet + a lil something to stick on your laptop/car/phone case to show your Sixer Light Lager/West Sixth pride.

That glass, like all our can glasses, is perfectly sized to fit an entire can of Sixer, or any West Sixth beer! Enjoy your new wares, and we'll see ya back here tomorrow!

DAY 3 - SNACKSSSSS

Happy day 3! This snack size Snake Snack is absolutely precious, imo. If you didn't get your hands on any full-size bottles on Black Friday, you're in luck -- you get to try our delightfully decadent Snake Snack in a teeny tiny advent-sized bottle! We labeled these guys by hand, and we truly did our best with the alignment, but please excuse any wonky labels -- we promise it had everything to do ๐Ÿwith how many we labeled, and nothing to do with dipping into the snacks... SPEAKING OF SNACKS!

Snake Snack is a bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout with cacao nibs, vanilla bean and roasted hazelnuts added. Reminiscent of (trademarked) chocolate-hazelnut treats!

Decadent & boozy at 13% ABV.

DAY 2 - USE A COASTER!

Hey, you're back! How'd you like your Christmas Ale? Today we have something totally different & singularly hoppy.

Day two is a West Sixth 3D Coaster + a can of the recently released Eureka Single Hop. Personally, I'm a big fan of a single-hop IPA, and I think this one will be a crowd-pleaser. It's a big, hop-forward IPA brewed with only one hop variety - called Eureka. You'll get notes of grapefruit, pine, and pineapple that follow through in the flavor. At a cool 7.5% ABV, this guy is highly drinkable, but totally worth sipping.

Once chilled & ready to enjoy, don't forget to use your awesome new coaster! Can't be leaving rings on the furniture, no matter how good the beer (seriously, Santa will know).

DAY 1 - Welcome Adventers!

Welcome, Adventer! I'm so happy you made it to the blog! This blog will serve as your guide on your West Sixth Advent journey. Be sure to bookmark this address to return to each day. Here we will share tidbits, anecdotes, and other things relating to the day's gift! Unless you love spoilers, you'll likely want to open your box first, then head over here for the full experience.

Today's slot contains a welcome note (which I'm guessing if you're here, you read, but if not please do), and a can of our most festive beer of the year -- West Sixth Christmas Ale. Our Christmas Ale is a big and bold Winter Warmer with a dark, sweet, and complex malt character complimented by an array of spices with orange peel, nutmeg, and cinnamon coming to the forefront. Clocks in at a jolly & respectable 9% ABV. If you haven't had it before, you're in for a real treat! Chill it, then crack it open & warm your insides -- we'll see ya tomorrow for day 2!

PSSST...if you post pictures or vidz as you open your advent, please tag us @westsixth on all platforms!!

Day 24 - Merry Christmas, Adventers!

If you can believe it, this is your final advent slot. We hope you've enjoyed the last 24 days of holiday cheer. We sure enjoyed putting it together for you. In this slot you will find a polaroid of someone who helped curate/pack your box (or maybe even the person writing this post, hehe), & a heartfelt thank you note. This advent box is a labor of love each year, and we hope you look forward to it as much as we do.

Wait a sec though, that's not all -- we couldn't leave you without a beer on the last day! Also in this slot is our classic winter warmer, Christmas Ale. Dark, sweet, and complex with an array of spices, including: orange peel, nutmeg, and cinnamon. It's a can full of Christmas cheer! Enjoy by the tree or fire in the coming days.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year, friends! See you back next year for Advent 2023. For now, enjoy your loved ones, your beers, and your holiday treats! With love & cheer, -- the west sixth Advent crew.

Day 23 - Game Night!

Yahtzee?? More like Sixthzee!! On day 23, we bring you one of our proudest inventions -- West Sixth Yahtzee. With specially designed score sheets, pencils, and even DICE, -- Sixthzee's gonna steal the show at your holiday gatherings. It's played just like regular ol' Yahtzee -- have fun, shake those dice, and tag us in your Sixthzee game day videos if you post 'em!! CHEERS and SIXTHZEE!!

Day 22 - Pay it Forward <3

Pay it Forward Cocoa Porter. We love this beer for a number of reasons -- as a beer, it's a big and roasty American Porter with Tabal Chocolate cacao nibs, giving it lots of unique, chocolate character. More than a beer, though, Cocoa Porter is a huge part of our giving back philosophy here at West Sixth Brewing. When you buy a six pack of Cocoa Porter, we donate 50 cents to our local non-profit partner. Right now, money is going back to the Sixth for A Cause Foundation -- our charitable branch, which we launched last March! West Sixth for a Cause Foundation will allow us to give back in bigger and better ways as we continue to grow. To learn more about Cocoa Porter and our other programs, head over to westsixth.com/pif -- you can also nominate a deserving non-profit you believe in to be our next PIF partner while you're there!

In addition to the rich & philanthropic Cocoa Porter, you're also receiving a Tabal Chocolate Bar in this slot. We HIGHLY recommend you enjoy those together.

Day 21 - Strawberry Fields

Have you visited the West Sixth Farm yet?? We absolutely love it out there on our 120 acre property -- it's a great place to take a hike, play some disc golf, or just kick back with a beer. A beer like, say, Strawberry Kolsch! Today's can offering is one of our fruity summer favs -- Kolsch is a light German style ale originating in Cologne, and we added strawberries to this easy drinking and refreshing beer style! Cheers, friend -- and come on out to the farm some time -- you've got a sticker now, it'd only be right.
