    If your worried about packages sitting out after they are delivered then just use the tracking number to do a hold at location and you can pick it up in a nice warm store if you want.

    How good are frozen IPAs once they thaw? Are they ruined or do they taste the same or similar?

    Also...the struggle is real. Yes, I'm an idiot for requesting shipping during this part of the year.

    Toss them in the fridge so they thaw out slowly, otherwise you risk more breakage. I've only had a couple of beers frozen over the years & they turned out just fine. Good luck!

    Assuming you received these today, the problem was undoubtedly shipping over the weekend. It was nasty cold/below zero in this part of the world this weekend. Sad, but not surprising, that the combo was fatal.

    To add to this, they'll probably take a couple days to thaw fully. Patience is key.
