FAA is reported to have stopped Lakemaid's (a brewery) plan to use drones for delivery of beer (six-packs) to remote ice-fishing shacks in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

It seems that Lakemaid Beer posted an online video advertising its drone delivery service, and FAA responded by notifying the company that the idea was a no-go. Lakemaid has now started a petition on WhiteHouse.gov asking FAA to approve its ideas but FAA is not backing down.

FAA issued this report in 2013 about integrating drones into US airspace http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives...admap_2013.pdf
