I looked into this too. It is not illegal to ship HOWEVER, the
shipping companies choose not to do it. Apparently its because of
the three tier system set up after prohibition. Manufacturers >
Distributors > Public. The shipping companies don't like to get
involved in shipping beer because of they don't want to deal with the
effort required to make sure they are not breaking the distribution
laws. Some states have laws about shipping though. If you go to
sites like wine.com or the vintagecellar.com one I told you guys
about you'll see that they cannot ship to CERTAIN states. Also
states have laws about importing beer. Like in TX you're allowed to
import beer for personal use, but there is a limit. Something like
no more then 2 cases per week or month or something. Don't quote me
on that because I can't remember the limit, I just know there is one.

Because of all the BS the shipping companies don't want to deal with
it. However, they do ship for THE BEER OF THE MONTH CLUB. I guess
some accounts are just too good to pass by.

The companies that are shipping beer either have some kind of special
agreement with UPS or they are lying to them. I don't know and I
don't care! All I know is that I've been ordering a case of
Yuengling every few months and getting it via UPS. Unfortunately, it
costs $26 to ship a $17 case of beer, but it's well worth. I just
don't drink it as often as I'd like ;)
