Alternative "Payment" for Beer

[NedStackey]

So I'm sure this has been discussed a bunch, but I'm wondering; does anyone have other ways to "trade" or get donations for their homebrew? I've been getting a lot of request and people are offering money but I'm trying not to do anything illegal of course. I was thinking about, what if I was to get gift certificates to the local brew supply or something? Just spit ballin'. I've heard of people selling growlers that "happened" to be filled. Yes, I know there are a lot of quotes being used.

I am kind of getting tired of these types of threads.

Selling homebrew in America is Illegal. Do what you want. But please stop asking about illegal things on the interwebz.

It's illegal. Period. Barter is a form of commerce. Trading products or services for beer is just as illegal as accepting money.

This.

Selling it in anyway is illegal, and this includes barter/trade for goods or services, a "donation", a charge for a cup but the beer is free, etc. In some states, it's even illegal to give it away, or take take it out of your home (as the definition of HOMEbrew is strictly enforced in those areas).

Since there really isn't any way to do what the OP proposes legally, we'll go ahead and close this thread.
