• Guerbet reaction of methanol and ethanol was achieved over Mg-Al mixed oxides.
• Acidic/basic properties by adsorption calorimetry were dependent on the Mg/Al ratio.
• The activity of Mg-Al mixed oxides in the reaction depends on the composition.
• Both acid and basic sites are important for the selectivity to 1-butanol and 1-propanol.
