So I ordered some PET bottles & caps from NorthernBrewer.com with the intention of mailing my Dad some of my homebrew for his bday. My plan was to use the USPS Priority Mail 1-rate box and stuff as many of those bottles in there as I could.
I go to the post office to pick up a box and, in a moment of stupidity, am honest with the lady about what I'm intending to put in the box. She tells me they can't ship beer. Somewhere deep in my mind I knew that (which is why I was picking up the box to pack it at home) - but since I was already into it, I went ahead and asked "Why?"
The answer? "Because it's flammable".
I went ahead and made a comment, something like "It's 5% - you couldn't set it on fire with a blow torch if you wanted to" but quickly qualified that I wasn't arguing with her. I walked out with my box anyway.
Who's the moron that thinks beer is flammable? Or must they draw the line at anything with alcohol in it? I bet I could ship some mouthwash...
I'm prolly gonna load up the box and tell 'em it's homemade soda pop. It's only a felony to mess with the postal service, right?
