This may be great news for shipping homebrews and other alcoholic liquids - not sure if it will save the USPS, but is there anything we can do (from AHA) to encourage this to happen?

1.) This relates pretty much to commercial shipping. There’s not enough money to be made from homebrewers for it to be a factor.
2.) How do you know the AHA isn’t already involved with this?
1.) Yes, I agree the financial force is from commercial, but the rule change would affect us and allow us to ship via USPS (not saying that’s a better option, but it would be an option).
2.) “There’s not enough money to be made from homebrewers for it to be a factor” - sounds like there wouldn’t be much pull from that statement, even if we were involved. I know this has been an issue for a while and not just with USPS - just seems like the iron is hot, why not add some grease?
Hopefully they’ll include homebrew and not just make it for commercial breweries.
