I donated a beer session to a fundraiser. Winner gets to take part in the brewing process and gets to pick the style. Winner gets to take home 5g of bottled product. Pretty heavy bidding and topped out well I thought.
My beer session sold for $200

What's illegal about it. He is donating his time to a charity. The charity is taking a cash donation. This sort of stuff happens all the time.I wonder if that would be legal here.

Its all charity as mentioned, bidding was done on a piece of paper with no money exchanged for homebrew. The actual act of brewing and sharing is well within the law.

It could pretty easily be construed as buying 5gallons of beer for $200.

IANAL....but there are some weird laws concerning alcohol and money changing hands.
