St Austell Brewery has launched an exclusive mixed case called the 12 Beers of Christmas - a curated collection of seasonal favourites and exclusive brews. The limited-edition advent calendar is available now, while stocks last
Handpicked by Brewing Director Georgina Young, the 2025 mixed case showcases the depth and character of St Austell Brewery’s award-winning beers. From the comforting richness of Glad Tidings, a festive porter brewed to bring warmth and joy, to the nutty smoothness of Maltese Falcon, a winter-ready brown ale, each beer has been selected to reflect the brewery’s heritage and innovation.
This year’s case also includes a rare treat for collectors and connoisseurs: two vintages of Extra Special Tribute – the 2024 and 2025 editions of the brewery’s flagship pale ale, Tribute. Crafted to age and mature in flavour, these limited releases offer a unique opportunity to explore the evolution of a classic.
Georgina Young, Brewing Director at St Austell Brewery, said: "Our 12 Beers of Christmas box is a celebration of everything we love about brewing - flavour, storytelling and the joy of sharing great beer. This year’s selection brings together timeless favourites and seasonal specials that showcase the creativity of our brewers and the richness of our 174-year brewing tradition."

About St Austell Brewery
Independent, family-owned St Austell Brewery was established in Cornwall in 1851.
Fast forward 174 years, and the company’s range of award-winning beers - including Tribute pale ale, Proper Job IPA and korev lager - are available in pubs and supermarkets nationwide.
Hot on the heels of the rebrand of its much-loved Proper Job IPA in March 2024 and the launch of its first ever no/low beer in Proper Job 0.5% in October 2024, St Austell Brewery took another huge step in reimagining its identity and values for generations to come.
In June 2025, the business revealed its evolved brand story - a new brand identity, values, and an evolved sustainability plan - taking pride in its rich history whilst embracing a commitment to its ambitions for the future.
The business owns over 160 pubs and inns across the West Country - including managed houses and tenancies.
It also operates two breweries, in St Austell and Warmley, near Bath (Hare Brewery), having acquired fellow West Country brewer, Bath Ales in 2016, as well as holding a minority share in Harbour Brewing Company.
With a network of six distribution centres across the West Country - from St Columb to Wimborne - the company is the leading drinks wholesale company in the South West.
