    Will these beers still be fresh for Christmas time? I know my husband would love this box as a gift!

    Depends on your definition of "fresh," but I'd say the beers will be just fine by xmas. Any perceived changes between now and then will probably be negligible, but will obviously differ based on the person enjoying the beers.

    Was thrilled to see the return of the Big Beer Box! I am anxiously awaiting its delivery. It's an excellent lineup and this is something only Beer Advocate can do. So very excited!

    Same experience @ovaltine - my box has been stuck (somewhere?) and with no ETA on delivery since Oct 30th ?! Bizarre. Hopefully it didn't get lost. Yikes.

    My box was delivered was delivered on Tuesday - and we’re in Florida until tomorrow. Fingers crossed it’s okay (and so is yours).

    I bought one already, got it, and already cracked open the Stout from Casita - it was excellent...

    sent it to son in NYC. Have to pick up, worried about optimal dates on hops.

    Arriving today - the free shipping was the tipping point for me.

    So here's a follow up question: my Glycerin: Pineapple + Raspberry leaked all over my frig this afternoon. No sign of freezing, nor of the top giving way. I really couldn't figure out where the beer was coming out. When I opened the top, it popped with a clear hiss, poured the remainder into a glass - looks to be about 2/3 of the can. I don't see any reports of similar events for others - anyone else heard of this?

    I’d drop an email to Half Time and the brewery.
