Take heart: if it was lawful to send Heady Topper (or Pliny or Dreadnaught) across state lines, there'd be no market for your service anyways; there is so much demand for those beers even in their home markets that the interstate distribution problem would be saturated with offerings.

(If you're wondering, most people get their out-of-state beers by 1:1 exchanges. There's probably a market for solutions that make those swaps easier!)



I'm not a developer, but I do have a pretty long list of people that trust me to do fair business and would be interested in such a solution.

I wouldn't be able to develop a platform like this, but I'd be more than able to help launch it.


Contact me please. I want to talk about this a bit more. (email in my profile)


no one says it has to be software. The problem you are detailing is much more of a legal compliance problem than software.


The matchmaking problem for 1:1 beer exchanges probably doesn't have a whole lot of legal risk attached; the shippers should bear the legal risk (they're breaking the law, but in a jaywalking sort of way until they try to make money at it).
