Beer calendar

I was invited to join a group of guys that meet late on Tuesday nights around a fire pit in one of their backyards. Beer, bourbon, cigars or pipes, and conversation. My invite came as a part of joining a Beer Advent Calendar. 
There are six of us participating, so last week we each brought four different six packs of beer. 
24 different beers for the 24 days of December leading up to Christmas.
 

We have a schedule so we are each drinking and rating the same beer each day.
Front row to back and left to right is the order. It should be interesting.

This was the selection for Dec 1.

It was a good beer -- a little light both in color and flavor for an amber but it was good. In fact, it was the best one so far!

I don't think I've ever done an Advent calendar of any kind before -- not even tearing off a construction paper ring from those red and green craft projects schoolkids did.
Is anyone else doing a Countdown to Christmas calendar?
