I live in Colorado, and will occasionally order beer and wine online from Liquor Mart (http://www.liquormart.com), which is great, inexpensive store that carries something 3000 different beers and 6000 different wines. I would check them out if you’re in Colorado, but I think they deliver all over the country.

I just read your two latest blog posts, (through rss feed, can’t get to the actual site while at work) and the first was about beer by mail, the second you mention you were at midway airport.

There’s a liquor store, practically across the street from Midway that will ship beer. Archer Liquors. http://web.mac.com/archerliquors/ArcherLiquors/Home.html

They have a decent selection of midwest beers including Great Lakes; 3 Floyds; Two Brothers; Dark Horse; Goose Island…

So, I thought I’d pass that on.

good ideas mario. I’ll remember that. I have a friend in Manhattan and we occasiionally trade beers, costs about $15 per one 22 oz. beer. way too costly. But for more than one bottle it might make sense to try.

Not that I’d ever do this, but I’ve heard if you have a friend buy you the beer, put it in a box and ship it as far away as DC, that UPS shipping starts at $15 for 2 22 oz bottles and gets to around $22 for 4 12 oz bottles and 2 22 oz bottles. My guess is it would take about a week to arrive. Shipping to a business address will save you some money on the process, as opposed to a residence. Just make sure the box is all sealed up and properly protected for the long trip.

Not that I’d ever condone shipping beer across state lines, but supposedly there are ways it can be done.
