believe it or not, in Pennsylvania, beer must be purchased from "beer distributors" in full cases (24 X 12 oz containers). No other alcohol is sold in these stores - just beer. Wine and hard liquor is sold in State-owned stores - just like the old Soviet Union! Recently, some grocery stores were allowed to sell 6-packs but, if you want more than two, you must leave the store and put the first two in the car before coming back in or a second adult can buy an additional two six packs as a separate purchase.
Anyhow, today, after 86-years of beer nonsense, beer distributors can now sell 6-packs or 12-packs or even singles. The law was signed today so it goes into effect in 60-days as usual in PA. The other part of the bill allows sales to start at 9am instead of 11 and other issues about mail-order alcohol.
This is the strangest state I've ever lived in for alcohol sales. The changes have been pushed for 25 years and nothing changed until today. It took a democrat governor to finally decide the family values would not be destroyed by a portable source of beer like 6-packs. He may be going out on a limb because there is not much evidence that 6-packs will turn us all into drunks but time will tell.
The local beer distributor was having a party! What a back
