In a recent Patch article, "Delivery service Door Dash announced it will now offer alcohol delivery from bars, restaurants and liquor stores to New Jersey customers. The move comes a year after the state adopted a rule allowing third-party companies to deliver booze in the Garden State. In a statement on the company's website, Door Dash said customers can order beer and wine from eligible merchants."

There are other services that deliver alcohol to residences, but this is a first for the popular food delivery service Door Dash, here in the Garden State. "To see participating retailers in a specific area, customers should download the DoorDash app and navigate to the "Alcohol" tab." When I checked my own Door Dash app no vendors met the criteria for home wine/beer delivery.

According to the Patch article, "When ordering alcohol, consumers will be required to provide an ID both before their first delivery and during all subsequent deliveries. They must also meet their Door Dash driver face-to-face — no contactless delivery is allowed."

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
