Folks, As the pandemic stretches on and as all of "de joy" has been taken out of the USPS, we need to change our shipping policy.  As soon as we can change it back, we will. Domestic and International First Class Packages Effective immediately (01 April 2021), any order that selects USPS First Class or Parcel Select ground as a shipping service and the USPS declares it lost, The Brewing Academy will NOT be responsible for replacing it. The includes First Class International. The reason is that there is no insurance on that shipping method and we cannot recoup our expenses...

Folks, We are trying to return to "normal" here at The Brewing Academy, but we really don't have any idea what normal is any more so, bear with us, please. We have formalized a schedule in an attempt to not go too crazy AND to get things out the door in an efficient  manner.  Things are so busy and we need to not try and do everything constantly. Here it is: Starting 25 Jan 21, The Brewing Academy will adopt the following schedule [All times are Pacific (GMT -8) Mon-Fri]: 0800-1200       Emails answered and orders processed Phone calls will receive...

Folks, The COVID-19 infection is slowly leaving The Brewing Academy.  MacRorie's lungs are no longer trying to actively kill him.  Our Production Supervisor, Edgard, is still symptom free and will be released from quarantine next week.  We are still waiting to hear the test results for our shipping crew.  Hopefully, they are negative and can come back sooner rather than later. Except for the 4 order numbers listed in the pop-up, all other orders have left the building.  The last four will leave next week if I have to walk them to the USPS myself! All new orders should be handled...

Just wanted to give you all an update:   So, after a chest x-ray and other things, I got diagnosed with COVID-induced pneumonia.  Which sucks.  I am on Prednisone and antibiotics for the next 10 days. Also, today, one of my workers, came into work without checking their COVID test results and worked for an hour with everyone before checking their results.  Yes, you guessed it, he was positive. So, I have to close the office again for another ten days.  SOOOOOO happy with how 2021 is shaping up. Although, honestly, this all started in 2020, so its really its fault....

WE ARE ON A COVID-19 OUTBREAK HIATUS from 02 JAN -16 JAN (at least)! So, you know that scene in Wrath of Khan, where Khan is all messed up and he is arming the Genesis device with his mangled hand? Khan: "No Kirk, the game's not over...until the last that we grapple with thee. No... No you can't get away. From Hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!" Well, in this scenario 2020 was Khan, and I was Kirk.  Except, instead of the Genesis device, 2020 gave The Brewing Academy COVID-19.  It sucks...
