Federal law prohibits the shipment of alcoholic beverages, including beer, directly to consumers. All alcohol has to travel from brewery to retail via wholesale distributors.

That means, if you fancy a special kind of brew, you will have to travel to where it is available.

Hicksville, OH, is our closest source for “Yuengling” beer. So we took a very enjoyable trip through Amish country and came back with a case each of “Lord Chesterfield Ale” and “Porter”.

Prost !
