As others have said, wrap them up well in your luggage and check them. Also, make sure you do not exceed the airlines weigh restrictions or you could be paying an additional fee. I usually bring back some local brews when I travel and haven't had an issue as long as I wrap them really well with the clothing I have.
Also, my luggage didn't make it to my destination one trip. So the airline (Southwest) said they would deliver it to my house when it arrived the next day. They asked for a description of the suitcase and describe some of the contents inside. I said it's a red suitcase (carry on size), with a few clothes and two 12 packs of New Belgium's Ranger IPA (cans).
It arrived the next day without any issues and no additional questions asked either!
