I had no idea that you couldn’t buy a six-pack of beer in Pennsylvania, at least not from a beer store. You could only buy in quantities smaller than a case at licensed bars or restaurants.
That is ridiculous! I buy most of my beer by the six pack. Craft beer is about $7 - $10 a six pack for most in my area and even though I really like Southern Tier’s IPA, I’d rather not buy a case of it. Instead, I buy a mix of IPAs, porters, and the like.
In MSNBC’s Cheers! Stupid Beer Laws Falling Off, they Lew Bryson’s February 1 “First Draft” column for Portfolio.com he points out that this law, and several other stupid beer laws, are falling by the wayside. The one angle they he points out is that the licensed bars are going to be hurt by this, which makes sense, but I think it will be best for the consumer and even the business owners will make out in the long run.
What stupid beer laws are you aware of that will shock me?
