How to send beer to Canada?
 

Hey - anyone here know what the proceedure is for sending beer through Canadian customs? I can't seem to find an answer on this one. :x

-S

Personally I find drinking it first and then crossing the border works just fine... :smug:

Note - This may hurt

You guys are not inspiring much confidence in me here. :lol: Does anyone know though? I want to send a couple bottles up there, but I don't want to get fined.

ie. - I want to do it legally without threat of a fine.

-S

As a Canadian I feel like I'm able to answer this question honestly .. I don't know. But I was curious so I looked it up on the internet. As indicated in the linkie provided and the little snippet that I have here .. NO .. you can't mail beer to canada. http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/ma...-e.asp#1378246 So there's no legal way for an individual Inside Canada to send beer to someone else in canada. You can bet that guarantees that no one outside can send in.

Ouch! This is pretty restrictive. I wonder if there is a loophole?

-S

Where's Al Capone when you need him most!;)

ns! :D This is a pretty pathetic 1930's law (assuming it coincided with American prohibition). Seems Canada needs to get with modern times. Trying to find a decent beer in Canada is a case in frustration. Especially in Toronto. Montreal has a little better selection, but nothing to write home about.

You could always try putting it on a Tu-95, apparently there's quite a few going that way:rotfl:

:D Chock

:lol: Ok - you get a beer sent your way for making me spew beer on my monitor! Bastard made me laugh while I was taking a drink! :D

-S

Errr what? :doh:

That law is ridiculous. Yes, there should be restrictions, but certainly not that strict.

Looks like they'll just have to keep drinking that melted yellow snow :lol:

You need to go to the Atlantic Provinces to get good beer :yep:

Offer them free sex that usually works. :roll:

Buy a plane ticket and bring it in yourself.
Your allowed one six pack per visit. :damn:

Thats a pretty expensive loophole!

Wait for a super saver fare or use your frequent flyer points. Just make sure you don't finish the six pack while waiting 4 hours to get thru security and board the plane.

This is the first time I've herd of someone trying to get booze into Canadian. First whit prohibition then with underage kids making road trip so they can get beer for the party.

Well, that is why I want to expose a few people to better beer up there. Like some here, they 'think' they have a wide selection. Hardly. I'd say there is a selection of at least 300+ different kinds of beer right across the street from my house. Canadians idea of a wide selection hardly includes anything in the Ale classs. Most are lagers. I even went into a liquor store in Toronto, and still they had no real selection. I went to the Beer stores, still no selection - all crap beer. Its really bad.

I did find one I kind of liked - Churchkey - http://www.churchkeybrewing.com/ Their Ale is not bad. Drank some of their Holy Smoke, but the Ale is what a gravitated to.

PS. Looks like they will be making a West Coast style Ale - so when I go back, they might have something even better:

West Coast Pale Ale
http://www.churchkeybrewing.com/images/brands_hops.jpg While traveling on the West Coast of the US, I absolutely fell in love with the hoppy pale ales that they are brewing in cities like San Diego, San Fran and Seattle. So, I immediately got to work on my interpretation of this Style. We use Canadian two row barley and a very liberal helping of Chinook hops. Hope you enjoy.

Well I didn't actually answer your question about customs .. just shipping. So I found this link

You could bring the beer up here but you can't ship it. Although, some liquor stores here will special order stuff. Lota hassle tho :(
