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

You guys are not inspiring much confidence in me here.

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.

Quote:

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.

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?

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
