Worlds Best Beer In Stores

No... they won't allow it... but you can always mail some cough syrup to your dear uncle TC... It's been done before...

I'm going to have to say that I think that is a load of malarkey. Not every state allows the shipment of alcohol unless you have a license, and ours isn't one of them. UPS and FedEx won't allow it unnless you have a contract with them.

This may be true, but from my understanding it's only company policy not law, i.e. won't get in trouble, not breaking laws.

USPS is different in that it is law and you could theoretically face penalties.

TABC makes it very difficult(not impossible) to ship alcoholic beverages from licensed distributors like buying online, but as far as I know doesn't regulate private shipments.

Unmarked package, should be fine. You run into similar situations with shipping firearms.
This is what I found from research back when I was a homebrewer, and trying to get good deals on single malt whiskey. As always, look up info before acting on internet advice, my info is at least a few years old.

This.

When I was looking into it awhile back there was a link on some beer forum from a previous Sam Adams brewing contest. From that link there were links to just about every craft brewery about the "yeast sample" thing. I don't know what year the original link was from, nor do I really care, so it might be incorrect nowadays. Regardless, I have had beer shipped to me numerous times from at least four different states, this past Christmas being the latest, with not a single problem to date (all in plain boxes). Obviously that doesn't mean much in a legal sense, but the people shipping it to me, and I, are perfectly fine with that.
