Any businesses that buy and ship internationally (Beer) (Overland: to live in, stores)

[Kassad]

So here is the deal. I used to live in Overland Park and at this time of year my absolute favorite beer would come out. I'm very jealous of you beer drinkers that like seasonal, spicy beer because Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale is coming out and it is, bar none, the best Pumpkin Beer.

At any rate, I am at my wits end as to how to go about getting some shipped to me outside the United States. Schlafly's won't ship to me, and there aren't any online beer stores that have it, or they don't ship internationally.

So I'm wondering if there are any companies that do this - they purchase what the person wants, pack it professionally for international shipment, and then take it to UPS (UPS is licensed to ship alcohol).

Seems like an interesting business model actually.

I'm a member of a number of Facebook groups that promotes beer trading. If I were you, I'd search on Facebook to find a group that might fit the bill. The way it works is that you would post that you want Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale and you include what you have available to you that you would trade for it. Shipping would be handled individually by you and the person you're trading with, and most of these groups have discussions about the best way (ie, which carrier works best) to ship beers since apparently it isn't technically legal.

Look for a group based out of Kansas and you'll have a higher likelihood that somebody will be able to get their hands on the beer you want.

Good luck.
