I've heard before with shipping bottles to comps you can label them as "Food Samples".  It's technically correct since by FDA standards beer is a food product and since you aren't selling them it's "samples".  Probably just as fuzzy as "Yeast Samples".  I think we use FedEx for things without having any issues.  We ship samples all the time for cross country club vs club competitions.  As far as I know we've never had any issues.

I put the reference line on the package as "Congratulations!!!" figuring they would think it was a gift if it was opened.
It's not a popularity contest, it's beer!

Shipping my first beer package. I'm labeling it from my law firm with a big notice that the contents are privileged by attorney-client relationship. Can't wait to see how that goes over when I drop it off.

I hope the competition is brave enough to open the box.

It's heading to a friend's house so I hope he can find the confidence.  8)
