FAA Grounds Brewery's Beer-Delivering Drone


The Federal Aviation Administration has put the brakes on a brewery's plan to deliver cases of beer to ice fishers on lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Wisconsin-based Lakemaid Beers, inspired by Amazon's announcement that it was planning on using drones to deliver packages, recently adopted its own version of a delivery drone, the Lakemaid Beer Drone, which has been tested on several frozen lakes.

Dammit! Here's a domestic use of drones I can get behind, and the FAA had to go and ruin it.

I heard the freezing Minnesota ice fishermen sobbing all the way down here in Texas.
