I'm going to have three batches of beer and a batch of holiday cider ready this Christmas. I live in Tennessee, and my Dad, his wife, and my inlaws all live in New Mexico. I'm flying out there to visit for Christmas, my brother and his wife will be there too, and they're all anxious to sample my creations.
Now I hear it's damn near impossible to get beer across state lines short of driving it yourself! UPS, FedEx and USPS won't ship it, and airlines won't let you check it! It seems like the only way to ship beer is illegal, and it's to not say what's in the package and hope that nobody opens it on the way to its destination!
Can this be true? Does our government really have an interest in preventing us from sharing a legal beverage with our interstate friends and relatives without any profit whatsoever? Do I really have to commit a FEDERAL OFFENSE just so my family can taste my beer, short of flying them all here or driving across the country? This sucks royally.
