ELLON, United Kingdom, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scottish craft brewer BrewDog, by Tilray Brands, Inc., today unveiled its 2026 Advent Calendar, a 24-day countdown bringing together returning headliners and a line-up of limited-edition seasonal brews. Priced at £51.99, the calendar goes on pre-order from 7 September 2026 at brewdog.com, with a waitlist open now for those who want to be first to know.

Behind the doors sit 24 beers spanning BrewDog's best-known names and a wave of new and seasonal releases, including Punk IPA, Lost Lager, Hazy Jane, Wingman, Elvis Juice, Hazy Jane Tropical, Juice Shack, Palm Break, Emerald Daze, and many more. Every calendar also includes a brand-new Harmony glass, exclusive to this year's edition and made to keep long after the last beer has gone.

Among the seasonal line-up, three releases stand out:

• Hoppy Christmas (6.0% ABV) – everyone's festive favourite. Buckle up for this seasonal Simcoe sled ride: a fruity festive fellow delivering an all-out Blitzen of citrus flavour by the sack load, with citrus and tropical fruit on the nose, tangy citrus, papaya and pineapple across the palate, all resting on a firm malty base. A happy but bitter end awaits.
   
• Jingle Juice (5.2% ABV) – forget sleigh bells, this is a hop hit with naughty-list energy. Tropical hops give juicy pineapple with a sticky edge, rolling into Seville orange and apricot warmth, like mulled fruit for the hazy beer crowd.
   
• Cocoa Reserve (8.0% ABV) – a decadent chocolate vanilla stout loaded with layers of roasted hazelnut, smooth vanilla and rich cocoa. Backed by a deep malt bill delivering notes of dark toffee, caramel and freshly baked goodies, malted oats bring a velvety mouthfeel, while Columbus hops keep things balanced with a subtle earthy bite.
  
  

Lauren Carrol, Chief Commercial Officer at BrewDog, said: “Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a countdown, and this year we wanted to really sprinkle some BrewDog magic. We've taken the artwork straight off our bar walls and brewery floor and put it on the calendar itself, so it's not just what's inside that's special this year, it's the whole thing. Twenty-four days, twenty-four craft beers, and hopefully twenty-four small reasons to love Christmas a little bit more.”

This year’s box design has been newly illustrated, taking its cues from BrewDog's bars and brewery taps. The calendar is one to add to the wish list early – an easy tick for partners, dads, brothers, friends, or anyone who always says they don't want anything.

Craft beer fans who get-in early are also in for a treat between 7 September and 11 October 2026 will receive a £10 voucher to spend on a subsequent online order. The offer is open to UK residents aged 18 or over, carries a £30 minimum spend excluding delivery, and is valid on the BrewDog UK online shop until 31 December 2026.
