Trying to enter the Music City Brewfest in TN but my package was intercepted and returned. Shipped via UPS didn't know this was a problem. Arghh how the hell do I get my beer there, I already paid the entry fee.
You're lucky they were returned! Shipping alcohol via USPS is illegal.
Use a different carrier, like FedEx or UPS. They also don't like to ship it, as it may be against their policy, but it's not illegal.
He said UPS, not USPS.
I had my local office refuse to ship it after they asked:
"What's in the package?"
Me: "Bottles."
"Oh, what kind of bottles"
Me: "Old beer bottles"
"What kind of old beer bottles?"
Me: None of your damn business!

I don't lie when asked a direct question, so it was my own fault for not pre-paying. Which is what I did, and brought it back the next day and dropped it off no problem. They didn't even ask what was in it. Printing labels online FTW.
In honor of your plight, and with some "poetic license" I made this for you.

I had some alcohol shipped from Rome once; they listed it as "four table lamps". Got here with no problem.
You didn't hppen to have homebrew competition in the mailing label did you? Or Beerfest on the address? That might be cause enough for an inspection.
AZ- I have actually taken to acronyms......"ASB" for instance....as long as the addy is right it will get there!
