Where can I get Dommelsch Bier in the US? →[More:]The "last drink" question below reminded me that my life would be much better if I could drink Dommelsch beer in my underwear in the US. But none of the stores in town carry it, and the one place on the internet I've found doesn't ship alcohol to the US. Any ideas where I could order it online?

These folks seem to deliver to the US:

Unfortunately, that was the one place I found:

Note: It is not allowed to import alcoholic beverages into the USA.

Dommelsch Bier is owned by Interbrew. Interbrew Inc.is the parent company of Labatt USA. After some more searching I found out that the entire beer company now is called InBev. Their number in the USA is +1-800-268-BEER. So I called them. And the nice lady told me they did not import the beer or sell it anywhere in the USA. She then was so kind to look a bit more to see if anybody else would import it to the USA and again no such luck. Also checked all the Dutch product sellers on Holland Ring. They sell lovely Dutch things, but no beer. I have tried to find out if I could send you a six pack of the ditchwater, but no such luck. US customs law will not allow it. Think you have to come over here and I will buy you one! Sorry.

Aww damn. I was afraid of that :(

Well, you have won my lifelong gratitude for answering that question, and in February, the next time I'm in the Netherlands, I owe you a beer.

I'm gonna wrap myself in paper
I'm gonna dot myself with glue
Stick some stamps on top of my head
I'm gonna mail myself to you

I'm gonna tie me up in a red string
I'm gonna tie a blue ribbon too
Climb up inside my mailbox
I'm gonna mail myself to you
