its only illegal if you get caught.
I believe the Bandit did this with commercial beer.... You are fine, just watch out for Smoky
I dont see why you would have to pay a tax on something purchased in another state.It would be like buying it again when its already bought.
Let's say you were to be pulled over....how would they be able to prove that it's homebrew vs. commercial beer? Remember they have to be able to prove something in a court of law and I don't think there is a DA out there that has the time/resources to bother with this.
It is not true that crossing state lines makes it a federal issue. Certain states do not allow more than X amount of alcohol into their state. Maine, for example.
Homebrewing currently illegal in AL and MS.

Yeah really all you would have to do is brew and not pull the labels off of the commercial beer bottles to put it in. If that were the case thats probably what i would do if i was that worried about it. What are they going to do take them for testing or open them up and go " Oh my god this is so estery or green or it just has that homebrew aroma/taste to it" ?
It's also illegal to "import" alcohol into some states, over a certain limit...

Well, crossing a state line doesn't make it ONLY a federal issue, but it still is a federal issue. Both NH and Maine are always fighting with each other over tax\boarder issues(and guess where the fight...Federal Court). .
But more importantly, Yooper can you please photoshop that Avatar and add a whip and a black leather teddy(you can leave off the black leather boots, they'd just look like hip waders on him).
A previous poster said that crossing the state border would make it a federal issue for the person crossing the border. My point is that it is not breaking any federal law to do so. Legally speaking, it is not a federal issue as far as the OP is concerned. Maine, and other states, are allowed to police what comes into their state.
