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:

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.

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.

Intoxicating Beverages Intoxicating beverages can only be shipped when: * a Provincial Liquor Board or Commission is mailing to a manufacturer, distributor or individual * a manufacturer of such beverages is mailing to a Provincial Liquor Board or Commission, to a distributor of such beverages in Canada, or to an individual within the same province * a distributor of such beverages is mailing to a Provincial Liquor Board or Commission, to a manufacturer or distributor of such beverages in Canada, or to an individual within the same province * they are mailed between a peace officer and a test laboratory for the purpose of carrying out a lawful investigation. Regardless of who is shipping, special restrictions apply if the intoxicating beverage is: * more than 24% alcohol by volume (e.g. 48 proof) and in a container greater than five litres (5 l) * more than 70% alcohol by volume (e.g. 140 proof). NOTE :Service is only available to Parcel Services contract customers or VentureOne customers using Electronic Shipping Tools (EST) and selecting the Proof of Age option.

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

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:

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:
