That is, the only reason why you can purchase beer in grocery stores here is due to a legal loophole.
As of today beer distributors sell quantities smaller than a case.
Shangy's is great if you are ever out this way again!
- rascul 4y agoIs the grocery store thing recent? None of them sold beer when I was in Chambersburg. Nor were the distributors allowed to sell less than a case (or at least they didn't stock smaller amounts). It's been a number of years though, so things certainly could have changed a bit. If I recall correctly, Sheetz was able to start selling beer at a few locations before I moved. I doubt I'll be that way again but I'll make a note to check out Shangy's if I ever am.
- fullstop 4y agoI believe that grocery store sales were introduced in 2016. [1] 1. https://www.legis.state.pa.us/CFDOCS/Legis/PN/Public/btCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&sessYr=2015&sessInd=0&billBody=H&billTyp=B&billNbr=1196&pn=4132 https://www.legis.state.pa.us/CFDOCS/Legis/PN/Public/btCheck...
- rascul 4y agoFigures. Right after I moved.
- fullstop 4y agoYeah, I never understood why I had to buy 24 bottles of something to figure out if I liked it or not. Now I can go to the grocery store and make my own six pack with six different things to try. The down side of this is that there's a limit to how much alcohol you can purchase from a grocery store at once. If you want to purchase more than 16 (12 oz) bottles of beer you must do so in two transactions. This can't be two transactions in a row, so you have to physically carry your alcohol out of the store, leave it outside (or in your car), come back in, and buy the rest.
