Yeah now if they'd only kick the legal relics of it to the curb...we can only hope, right?

Like I can't go buy a six pack of Beer today...

It's amazing that once this was the law of the land!

Are you in PA? Because until last spring, you couldn't.

I thought it was the other way around, that's why I could go to the stores and breweries to build a case, but not build a sixer. I was only there for a year, so perhaps I missed it. Either way I thought it was absurd.

Nope, all beer distributors were closed on Sundays, and they were (still are, actually) the only places in PA where you can buy a case of beer. Bars and Deli's and Pizza places were the only places you could get beer on Sundays, and the biggest thing they can sell is a 12 pack. You can buy more than one 12 pack, but they don't sell cases. Some distributors are now open on Sundays, as well as some Liquor stores now too. The deli's ect. were actually pretty pissed once the distributors were allowed to open on Sundays, cause it cuts into their business, but whatever. We still cant buy any alcohol whatsoever in convenience or grocery stores, but somehow Wegmans recently are allowed to sell Wine and Beer (A pretty good selection, I might add, but still only 6 and 12 packs). I have no idea why they can and seemingly everywhere else can't. It's all pretty dumb.

When Ive talked to some people not from PA about going to the "distributor" to get a case, theyd be like: so you go to the place that delivers all the beer to grocery stores?

;D

The best thing about PA is there are a brazillion breweries that you can truly go right to the source, and feel like you're almost breaking the law by going around the three-tier system

I truly did not understand the PA liquor laws when I was in Philly earlier this year.  I mean sheesh...you can't pick up a six pack to tailgate with on a Saturday?!   ;D

Don't get me started on Utah.  You'd think I asked to sleep with the barman's daughter when the missus & I ordered a jug of beer in a bar/restaruant on a Sunday afternoon in Moab.  There was also some weird law about spirits and mixers, and having to join a club or order nachos.

You can't buy 40's here in AL, which is weird to me...

[mjkoehler]

When I was in High School and working at a grocery store, Nebraska sold NO alcohol before noon, and after 12 it was only beer and wine.

In the backwards East Kentucky town I went to High school in you couldn't buy beer in gas stations because it "promoted drinking and driving" meanwhile the only two liquorstores in town both had drive through windows. Oh and there was five city blocks that were allowed to sell alcohol at all. And forget about getting booze on Sunday.

[megalicious]

I lived in a "dry" county in Kentucky for a while... It never made sense to me, because everyone had to Bowling Green to get booze... and the liquor stores had drive thrus... but we were a dry county b/c drinking was a sin. Eventually, the county went "moist" (which just sounds gross) and the only places you could buy booze were restaurants... and even then, 60% of your ticket had to be food.

I could go on and on about the idiocy involved with liquor laws in Oklahoma, but the worst of them is the fact that beer cannot be refrigerated in the liquor stores, which is the only place beer with alcohol content greater than 3.2% can be sold. Which means that breweries like New Belgium (Fat Tire) won't sell to the distributors here because they insist that their beer be kept cold. Of course, you can go into stores anywhere and see Fat Tire sitting on the floor at room temperature, but whatever. Fat Tire is now sold in every state that surrounds Oklahoma (even Arkansas, for god's sake), but not here. It's not that I'm that crazy about Fat Tire itself, but NB has a lot of great beers.

Meant on Sunday's.

That's how it is in Louisville, you can't buy any alcohol from 4am till noon on Sunday.  You can't buy alcohol on election day either (is that all over the country).
