Pub chain and brewery, BrewDog, has released its own take on the classic chocolate option, with the launch of three boozy advent calendars that will appeal to all beer connoisseurs. The innovative festive product pairs white, milk and dark chocolate with Scottish gin (as well as other Scottish craft spirits) to produce a range of “tasty handmade bon bons with alcohol-infused ganache fillings”.

It may only be October but festive goodies are already starting to line store shelves, with a string of advent calendars launched ready to countdown to Christmas - including one loaded with beer. Teaming up with fellow Glaswegian entrepreneur Annette Smith, founder of SugarSnap, the pair decided to use their shared passion for craft products to create a unique advent calendar that would appeal to craft gin and chocolate fans alike.
