uh oh....https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/WTRK/index.html?tracknumbers=771727498074&cntry_code=us&fdx=1490 think they broke it? What usually happens in this situation?

Yes, most likely something broke. At this point one of two things will happen. The local center will repack what isn't broken and deliver it tomorrow. Several people have had this experience and if it happens, be grateful.
My experience, like sfrisby's, was that the shipment was disposed of (not that they indicated how it was disposed - I'm imagining into someone's trunk!) and you will get that quasi-threatening form letter. And perhaps a phone call (which I did since I have a FedEx account. He was my 'account manager' whom I'd never heard from before or since but happened to call a couple of weeks after I got the letter to mention that shipping alcohol is a no-no.)
I sincerely hope you luck into the first possibility!
Hmm...It now says being held for recipient pick up. I haven't talked to the sender yet, so maybe he spoke to them, so maybe I am super lucky. I still have the slightest suspicion they are going to give me **** when I go in there (not to mention its 30 min away, not the nearest fedex facility). Maybe its just leaky and they didn't open it and don't know whats inside?

Hope this isn't considered "off topic", but does anyone know: if a canned beer freezes a little, is there any negative affect? I recently received 12 very nice beers in a trade, but UPS didn't deliver until just now (7pm) and the beers seemed a little frozen when I opened (it's been just below freezing here in MPLS all day). The cans weren't swelled or leaking, but when I gently shook them it seemed to me they were a bit frozen. Just wondering how concerned I should be. I don't want to open one when frozen as it would waste a really good beer.

Also, if you know of something that I should be drinking; send me a PM so I can take a look and see what I think about it.
The rest of the MAW community is on the clock, because I can make this happen if it isn't picked up in a week.
I thought I had expanded it enough, but I think everyone is busy wrapping up outdoor stuff before we plunge into winter. I have about 8 more brewery/beer combos to add in a few days if need be.
Honestly guys, I'm not too worried about when it gets filled.
That said: SWMBO will be gone for Thanksgiving from NOV 22 to DEC 3, so it landing in that time frame would be ideal. She has given me the Beer Acquisition Stink Eye (TM) a few times in the past month...
Then why the hell not. Granted!
We'll start with this and add if necessary later.

List??
Liquidflame sent me this with an emaw. thought i post a review for him.
View attachment 235902
Here it goes.
Poured a nice straw color with minimal head that lingered slightly... very delicate lacing that lasted through the glass. Low in bitterness with a sweet creaminess that caresses the palate. The low carbonation level really adds to the mouth feel of this beer and the balance is probably the best of all the cream ales I have tried.
Overall: I like this beer, the best compliment i can give liquidflame is... Pm me the recipe please. I would like to brew this as a house staple.:rockin:
