    Never mind, got home today and it was sitting on the stoop waiting for me. Head's up everyone!

    I'm in NY, and just received my delivery. Everything arrived safe & sound. Now I need to resist the temptation for a few weeks.

    And for reference, I received the 2014 vintage of the DFH barleywine. I am very pleased with that.

    I'm in Chicago and haven't heard anything. Hope they don't just drop off the package without providing notice or tracking first...if they do, the package is going to walk away within 30min for sure

    2013 here! Love it because that is the vintage I had fresh years ago, so will be cool to see how it aged!

    Similar reasons here. I have a buddy who has a 2017 bottle. Looks like a side by side comparison.

    Just received the package. A little disappointing that logistically I was not provided notice or tracking (yes, I checked my spam folder). But the contents look great! I got the '17 vintage which sounds awesome to me.

    But to reiterate the shipping and notice aspects of this could have been done better

    I have not received my delivery of extreme beer fest beers yet, any idea when I might receive them?

    If you need to reach out to Half Time you may want to do by phone instead of email. Emailed them three times in regards to some other beers I ordered with the Fest and got no reply.

    -received a UPS notice yesterday and the box arrived today. I moved it, unopened, to cold storage. I’m not peeking until the event.

    As an update I just got the email shipping notification 15 hours after the beer arrived. I would say Half Time has a communication issue. The good thing is things seem to be moving well in advance of the fest. Maybe make some back up plans in case your box arrives unannounced.

    Thanks for the update Todd. It looks like for those of us down in the Southwest (TX, LA and OK), we shouldn't even expect our packages until the end of this week or early next week. I wonder if this is a local shipper issue more than a Half Time issue. It's unfortunate they can't just use FedEx like wineries can...

    I wouldn't call it an issue, but all of the boxes have already left Half Time with a goal of having them all arrive by no later than Thursday, Feb. 4, 2021 (as per the FAQ).
