Comments on: LCB Privitization Bill http://www.pagunblog.com/2008/02/05/lcb-privitization-bill/ The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State ...

They've messed with the law on occasion, particularly when it comes to brew pubs, but they've pretty much maintained that separation in that you have to buy six packs at a tavern and cases from distributors. This wouldn't be too much of a problem except that often, I want different kinds of beers, and I don't feel like buying a case of just one. Some breweries like Sam Adams have offered up sampler cases, but that's more the exception. And I can't buy more than 12 bottles of beer from a tavern at any given time, so the idea of going to the tavern and getting a six of this, a six of that, and a six of something else is shot to hell. If the state of PA is going to continue this kind of arcane sales model, they might as well emulate the Beer Store concept in Ontario. At least you can get six packs, twelve packs, and cases of 24 or 36 beers. And it's at least stored cold.

I don't drink more than that in a month and if the stuff sits too long it does get a little skunky to my taste. Being "forced' to purchase a case at a time is rediculous.

And how did this beer store/distributor idiocy get started? What's the point in having both? I miss not being able to buy beer, wine, and liquor at the supermarket or Sam’s Club.
