I got a little education on PA liquor laws when visiting for a wedding last year. It was very confusing and pretty strict. You could not buy beer at a regular grocery store. Only the state operated "beer and wine stores" which don't sell liquor. you had to buy liquor at a liquor store, which cannot sell beer/wine. wtf? i also thought it was strange that if the beer store is closed, you can buy 6/12 packs/cases at a bar and take them with you! In Texas, any alcohol purchased in a bar, MUST be consumed on property, so this was new to me.

They confiscated some rare beer in these raids . What a shame . I hope they're storing it in the same way it was taken away . Be a real shame to see all that good stuff go to waste . I wonder if any is now missing since the confiscation .
