A farmer’s market place near me just got approval to sell 6-packs – and they can mix and match. They will focus on PA microbrews, which will be fantastic.

One new store built near my hometown already has a huge micro-brew selection from which you can build your own six-packs; and because there is a restaurant with liquor license in the store, there’s no way the state can stop them from selling it. Hopefully the pressure will soon be on to allow sales greater than 12 at a time and better availability in grocery stores; other store chains will soon complain that the state is shackling them by not letting all supermarkets carry beer and driving all their customers toward the one store where they can get it.

The other crazy fact about PA liquor laws is that in the carryout or bottle shops, you can only purchase (I think) 168 oz at a time- or the equivalent of 1 12 pack. SO, when kids would come in wanting to buy more then one at a time…they had to purchase them individually and carry the beer OUT of the store/off-premise before they could come in and buy another 12 pack. Never a big fan of them.

Come to VA, we only have the state run (very efficiently) the hard liquor sales – you can buy from 1-36 beers at the grocery store (or Rite-Aid which somehow is always cheaper) or 7-11.
