Default Re: Buying beers online in the US

I don't want to be a downer, but you may be out of luck/not willing to pay the extra price to get it.

First off, the US has strict laws regarding interstate transport of beer, wine, and spirits. There are strict restrictions on spirits, but the laws are a little more relaxed for wine and beer. Furthermore, it would be very difficult for someone to ship beer internationally as the possible extreme temperatures and rough handling may significantly distort the character of the beer.

Your best bet would be to contract the brewery directly and ask about international orders.

There is also a slight chance a distributor/wholesaler in your area could special order beers from the US. Ask your local beer store owner. When I worked retail for a large beer/spirits store, we probably kept only 75% of the possible beers in stock while we could special order the rest.
