Choose your preferred shipping method and give a shipping address. The cost of shipping will depend on the weight of the product as well as which shipping method you choose. The address you would like your beer delivered to should be either your place of business or wherever you spend the majority of your day. This is to ensure proper delivery. The shipping company must have a valid signature from the purchaser who is over 21 years old. The signer will be required to show photo identification to prove age.
