Beer distributors in Pennsylvania will now be able to sell 12-packs according to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) after a loophole was pointed out in the state liquor code.
The PLCB’s chief counsel released a legal advisory opinion last week that “clarifies existing law by informing brewers that they may sell ‘original containers’ as long as the container contains at least 128 fluid ounces, for example a 12-pack, to distributors that may be resold ‘as is’ to consumers. No modifications to existing inventory held by distributors and importing distributors is allowed.”
