Beer Advent Calendar

DIY Beer Advent Calendar Fills the Season with Joy 
http://bit.ly/12ei9Kt LifeHacker

Fill it with specialty beer! Something to enjoy. 
Have to think hard on what beers to chose to use in making one. 
Only 24 spots to fill, so it should be 24 of your favourite fall/winter beers.
You would want to think about the drinking order too. Do you want to build on a theme or switch it up from beer to beer?

This project is going on my Todo list for next October/November as it can take a while to find all the beers....
