2022 Phillips Beer Advent Calendar Review: Phillips Space Case

[ThePenIsMightier]

This year they are also calling it a Space Case and folks seem to have enjoyed these threads in the past, so here we are. I struggled to find a Space Case again this year, but looked it up on Liquor Connect AB and found the locations that received some, but it was still difficult. Then I happened to be in Kensington Wine Market a week later and they've got like 12! A bit odd considering the enormous Willow Park Liquor only received 3...
They're over $60 for twelve pints of beer, so your better be a more senior EIT to play this game.

But you should play this game! Play this game with me!! Go buy one from that fancy store in Kensington and leave your own reviews in this thread. It'll be fun!

I will start tomorrow.

I’m doing one every other day extend the experience.. have had 4. no real fails so far, todays wasn’t the best

88 Brewery has one out there... but ridiculously expensive. It was $8X for 12 beers!! Over $7 a can.

I find most of 88’s beers questionable anyway.

I'm still working through the advent my buddy put together, a dozen guys each put in 2 twelve packs of craft beer. Has been hits and misses on them, good way to try beers I'd never try/buy otherwise

[vengie]

^^ That is a great idea.
Stealing that for next year.

Been working on a little advent calendar of my own.

Because that's what those are for.

Yep way better, cheaper and can be more diverse.
Have seen people do this with whiskey and rum too. Just had to buy smaller generic empty bottles to split it up.

Every company is doing this because easy $$$. Better than selling 6packs.

No after 3 weeks of flu that’s about all I can handle without dying right now

Not to mention, it's better than 9/10 craft beers.

Somehow, every chump that's decided to start up a "craft" brewery seems to think that applying a loud, colorful label makes up for filling the can with very mediocre (at best) beer.

[killramos]

Yea I’m never unhappy with a cold bud light.

In frequently unhappy with craft beers

The mask probably woulda saved you. Just sayin.

[vengie]

Cold bud light is a staple in my house.

Perfect beer on most occasions.

[roopi]

Bud light the perfect beer?

[killramos]

He isn’t wrong

[vengie]

Perfect beer requirements
1) Easy to drink
2) Tastes good
3) Doesn't give you a hangover
4) Inexpensive

Checks all the boxes

[ExtraSlow]

Regular Bud is one of my staples when I get the money.

[andyg16]

I enjoy the Brewsters Advent I think this year it was around $110 or something but it has good euro beers we don't normally see here. Hit and miss as expected but more hits than misses so far.

[ThePenIsMightier]

I try to not be a beer snob. I certainly will drink Budweiser or Canadian, etc.
My issue with way too many of the mass produced beers is the foam. They make me feel like a bloated cow that needs its stomach stabbed. PBR, Coors Light and Bud Light are extra bad for this.
And the second complaint is the sweetness, (I'm looking at you Kokanee.) It tastes like an ok beer that someone put a teaspoon of sugar into.

"Craft beer" isn't immune to these two issues, but they are far less frequent. And 10 Molson Canadians will put my in the hospital the next day while 10 Okanagan Spring 1516 will let me probably go to work.
