Half Time is a craft beer retailer that operates both brick-and-mortar stores and an online shop, offering a broad and continually refreshed selection of beers. Founded in 2002 as a family business, it began in Poughkeepsie, New York with about 600 beers and expanded in 2011 with a second location in Mamaroneck, increasing its catalog to roughly 5,000 brews. The company combines its physical outlets with direct-to-consumer online shipping, maintaining a community-focused approach across its two New York locations. Serving craft beer enthusiasts, Half Time aims to meet requests for both everyday favorites and hard-to-find selections through its stores and online platform. It actively engages the craft beer community by hosting festivals like Harbor Island International Beer Festival and partnering on virtual events with industry brands such as BeerAdvocate and Untappd. In 2022, Brewbound recognized Half Time as one of the top three beer stores in the world and as New York's best bottle shop.
