I am visiting from out of state and find the liquor laws in Pennsylvania to be quite bizarre. For example, you can get hard liquor from a state run store, but no beer. Most grocery stores and drugstores don't sell liquor of any type and those that do don't sell hard liquor. Fortunately, I found Pennsylvania Avenue when I had a hankering for some beer.
The proprietor was friendly and laughed when I expressed my surprise about the liquor laws. We then explained the craziness and how his beer was fairly priced. I picked up two 6-Packs for my stay in PA for me and my son to share. Since I was out of state he gave me a free bottle opener.
I will be back to Pennsylvania Avenue next time I am in town. read more
