    You asked for more virtual beer fests, and we listened!

    I'm stoked to announce that our IPA Fest is back! This time, we'll be streaming it live in Cyberspace on April 30 and May 1, 2021! In partnership with Half Time Beverage, attendees will receive a hand-curated box containing India Pale Ales from each geographic region in the United States, access to tastings hosted by Todd Alström (BeerAdvocate, that's me) and Edgar Preciado (BeerThugLife), and a chance to learn about the beers from participating brewers during two online sessions.

    https://www.beeradvocate.com/ipa/

    Packages go on sale via Half Time on Friday, February 26 @ 9 a.m. PST for Respect Beer Society members and Extreme Beer Fest in Cyberspace attendees (who synced their accounts). Public sales begin at 12 p.m. PST. Sales end on March 29 or when sold out (spoiler: it's going to sellout).

    I'll start posting confirmed beers on Monday, March 1, but don't wait to buy your box of beers!

    Thanks in advance for your support!

    I didn't expect tonight's announcement to be this exciting. I'm already looking forward to this, and Edgar is going to be a great co-host!

    Looking forward but I see OH is not on the list of states to be shipped to this time around. But half time still ships to OH is there some other reason this fest is not available like extreme was?

    When you go to Half Times link under the states listed it still says OH - hopefully just a typo!

    Extreme Beer Fest was a blast. Unfortunately getting the beer to South Carolina is way too hard... need to get some laws changed

    I attended the Extreme Beer Fest in Cyberspace and synced my account. I enjoyed it very much and I want to purchase the IPA Fest in Cyberspace. I am logged in but I can't see how to purchase the IPA Fest package. Can anyone help?

    Sorry, I just noticed that they go on sale at 9 AM PST. Since I live in the east I tried to jump the gun. I'll try again in a few hours.
