U.S. Postal Service to start shipping beer? originally appeared on Hop Talk.
Maybe.
Senator Tom Carper of Delaware has introduced legislation to make a whole host of changes to the Postal Service, including eliminating Saturday delivery, closing thousands of post offices, and restructuring the retirement fund.
One of the proposed changes is to allow beer and wine to be shipped through the Post Office.
Seems reasonable to me. That’s got to be a pretty good chunk of change that FedEx and UPS are currently monopolizing.
Of course, it’s still not legal to ship beer or wine to all states, and this bill doesn’t address that. More’s the pity.
