They aren't that swamped. I have been in the shipped bussiness for over 6 years and it doesn't slow down much. I still haven't received anything either. 2 weeks is a slow turn around if you ask me.

Patience young padawans...people are busy. Yes they committed to the secret santa but life gets in the way. I sent mine last Thursday and it is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow (12/21) by the end of the day. Still waiting on my package (he he) but I'm not worried.

Last year I got mine months later, but it was DEFINITELY worth it!

To put it into perspective, I'm still waiting on the Community Brew entry from 2 years ago...I sent mine and one guy judged it, but I never got a score sheet...hope he's not dead :shock:

No problem...enjoy. I'll be interested in what you think about the pale ale. I haven't even really tasted it yet either. Might have to pull a couple pints off the kegerator tonight to check it out. I think it came out a little drier than I would like, but it wasn't until after I brewed it that I realized my thermometer for my mash tun was jacked.

Not very "in the holiday spirit" I know but.... STFU.

Seriously, what's with all these people with under 20 posts bitching about not getting free shit???

You know who you are. Stop complaining. Be happy that people have put in hard work to get this this going year after year. Be happy that you'll probably get better beer than you can personally make. Just be happy. Jesus!! :)

I've never had a problem with this little exchange, and wouldn't complain if I did.
