    Greetings!

    Sorry for the delay in getting our issue #65 preview up. Had 14,000 people to entertain at this past weekend's American Craft Beer Fest in Boston. Playing catch-up now.

    Anyway, another content packed issue is making its way to mailboxes and some of the best places for beer in the US.

    As someone who's worked with both Craig Litten and Gerard Walen, I look forward to seeing their photos and story. Plus a Sarasota brewery featured on the cover! Congrats Michael Wagner of Little Giant!

    It started to ship just over a week ago. When you get yours can vary, but we're still within the shipping timeframe.

    So from page 8 from the latest issue, I notice the little blue box in the upper right corner stating that the Senate has passed the Postal Service Reform Bill basically meaning businesses can ship beer via the USPS. I imagine this is old news that I have missed until recently, but does that basically mean that any online bottle shop (Total Wine, etc) or even breweries can start sending beer to ANY state using the USPS or do local or state laws still block that in some states? I live in Indiana and a lot of the bigger sites won't ship here and it's always frustrating so I hope this bill helps. If so, smart move by the government, they just might save the USPS afterall, lol.

    State and federal restrictions still apply.

    Yeah I looked into it a little bit more after I made my questioning post and saw exactly what you said. Lame. Oh well, guess I'll still have to send and receive my "live yeast samples" via the mail. Lol
