He;s correct. When I initially posted, I re-read the USPS post and was surprised to read that shipping VIA USPS is indeed not allowed. You have to read the whole page, its not just international. That said, I was surprised since I have mailed cans before with no problem. This time, I was toying with shipping bottles but I usually hate checking luggage, hence the post. But worked out fine checking the bag which was A) FREE and B) offered better protection.

Columbus Bohdi and FatHead HeadHunter were the Ohio based brews we wanted to try. Also Creeper was released while we were there but I didnt scramble for it.

Also scored a few bottles of 3 Floyds Zombie Dust, which was a bonus.
