    Update: 6/12 of the beers are secured at Half Time, and the remainder are scheduled to arrive by Monday. Once all of the beers are secured, Half Time will finalize their packing dates and let us know when shipping has started, however, weather conditions and post-holiday shipping backlogs across the US could have an impact on when the boxes ship and arrive.

    I'll keep everyone posted!

    Are we doing a virtual share with the brewers again? Do we have a date if so?

    Has this happened yet? We have to sync accounts to play in the discussion/tasting or partake in whatever fun is planned, right?

    I plan on launching the forum once boxes start shipping, at which point I'll be emailing everyone.

    Everyone probably got this email today but sharing just in case this is the update I received from Half Time:

    "Thank you for purchasing Extreme Beer Box: BIG STOUTS, and for your patience while we await all of the beers to arrive.

    All beers are currently on schedule to arrive to us from each of the breweries by the end of this week, and to be shipped out to you by next Monday, January 16th.

    Shipping times vary depending on state. You will receive tracking soon after (not necessarily on 1/16).

    Thanks again, and enjoy!"

    Thanks for sharing. I did not get this email. Wonder why. Hope it's not a repeat of one of the boxes when it just showed up on my doorstep without any notice or communication from Halftime.

    Yeah. Check your spam folder. After that, check with Half Time to ensure that they have the correct email on file and that there's no sending issues on their end.

    Not a spam issue. I order from them a few times a year. I'll check with Halftime I guess

    No, Finback made it. Just a human error with packing your box.
    Based on past boxes, if it happened once there's a good chance that a tiny fraction of other boxes will have similar issues. Just reach out to Half Time and they'll make it right.
