Is this illegal?

But you did intact take the time to post, didn't you. You could have spent that time saying something useful.

Oh, all right. Here.

"Stop worrying about such pointless things. Imagining that someone is going to haul you off to jail for offering someone a free growler of beer as a prize to a free raffle smacks of extreme self-centered beliefs. You really are not worth the time to the authorities."

How's that?

+1.....laws regarding homebrewed beer are rarely, if ever, enforced. I am NOT saying you should break the law but there is also no "boogeyman" gov't official ready to bust you. The police, DA, ABC, etc....have MUCH bigger things to deal with. It simply isn't worth their time.

Never mind. Started to write something along the lines of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" but then my troll-dar went off and i decided not to.

I'm NOT TROLLING. You know how everybody on here is always saying "relax, don't worry?" The same applies to this situation, and most legal situations on here.

Seriously, what is the WORST THING that's going to happen? Some guy is going to call or email him and say, "Hey, you can't do that. That's illegal. Stop that." And then he'll say, "Okay, sorry." And that will be the end of it. No one's going to court, no one's going to jail, no one's going to get a ticket, or a fine, or even a stern talking to.

RDWHAHB. Get over yourselves already.

Thanks for the PM, I'll respond tomorrow. Looks like you really didn't have to worry much about taking this thread off topic

Thanks again to everyone who gave helpful comments. It's helped greatly. I now know which mail carrier to use, the correct paperwork to file, and the official rules I can use for the contest page.

Agree with LandoLincoln. I am a lawyer (in Canada) and seriously you're being ridiculously paranoid (especially for an American). Ship the beer wherever you want. Nothing will happen. Even it is technically illegal then it is only "technically". I think after spending + billion dollars on combatting terrorism, the so-called authorities are not worried about horror writers giving away some pumpkin ale.

That's much better!
