Google says Instacart and Drizly deliver beer

I just tried searching for "beer" on Instacart/Shaws. It said, "Sorry, alcohol products aren't available."

Funny cuz I searched Drizly first and instacart was there and said beer delivery in under an hour. Liars!

OP here. Does anyone know any state officials? Could you ask them if beer delivery is legal in NH? And, if so, why no one does it?

No. Your apps may say it, as a gimmick to get you to sign up, but alcohol delivery is illegal in NH.

I know some breweries such as Trillium deliver to NH, so I don’t think it’s illegal at the state level, probably just the services you’ve searched choose not to

For beer, some breweries do - one that comes to mind is Able Ebenezer in Merrimack, for instance.

Gopuff

If so I’ve never found it…and I’ve looked a lot. I think it’s legal because, you know, live free or die

It isn't, and though I'm far from conservative the argument against it being legal is pretty sensible to be honest. With delivery all you need is credit card info. Suddenly, your 16-year-olds party just got a lot crazier.

Since it is illegal based on the comments here, I don’t want to name the place but I know of a convenience store that will deliver anything they sell, including beer.

Not sure about grocery stores or if they still do it but papa jays in Dover used to deliver beer.

I may be misremembering though.

DoorDash

That's my fallback if I can't find normal delivery.

Just have an adult provide ID when it's delivered.

What do you mean by “normal delivery”?

DRIZLY

Try the app Gopuff. They don’t have great coverage but they have the basic stuff for delivery.

That I can order it from a grocery store along with bread, milk, and eggs.

Thanks, but I just went to their site and it looks like they're not in my area (nashua).

Thanks, but I went to their site and while they have a "beer" item in their menu, if you click on it, all they show are weird seltzer-based products. They don't appear to have any actual beer.

By the way, it looks like they will be happy to send me a bottle of whiskey, just not beer. Very strange.

You can do DoorDash at Walmart. Not sure if they sell alcohol but why wouldn’t they?

Live free or die my ass

Able shutdown delivery in August, "due to a change in the regulatory environment" according to their website bringthebeers.com.

sorry to give you bad info. Yes, that is odd. six years ago I was homebound with a broken foot and couldn't find anyone to deliver booze or cigarettes.

Actually, it looks like Drizly will deliver wine and liquor, Just not beer. Isn't that weird?

I bet they just list things for sale at the NH liquor store, hence no beer

Oh, that's a good theory. I never thought of that.
