Yes, all liquor stores are owned by the state of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth, actually). However, Pennsylvania only sells beer at distributors and six-pack shops. Distributors can only sell cases, while six-pack shops can sell up to 192 oz. of beer in one transaction.
Good point. It also gives me a reason to venture down that way sometime, since I've been to Ft. Collins. :D

Sierra Nevada, Racer 5 and Goose Island.

Last time I ventured across the state line, a couple years ago, there were maybe 8 good sized breweries in Asheville. New Belgium and Sierra Nevada were still in the planning stages. Today there are around 20 with another dozen in surrounding towns. I have visited at least 6 of the original 8 and found them all worthwhile. Highland was tops in my book - don't miss if you visit AVL. New Belgium is scheduled to open in late 2015. Ashville Brewing and French Broad have a great vibe. Look into the Brews Cruise if you'd like someone else to do the driving. And do not miss the Thirsty Monk bars which has 100% craft brew upstairs and 100% Belgian ales downstairs. And try to behave yourself while there. I certainly did not.

It's very good. 2 local places had it in stock recently, one with 6 packs and the other filling growlers.

I like the Brews Cruise idea... You know me... Do you think I'd behave? :D

Oohhh... I'd love to have a growler (of Sculpin Grapefruit).

They are transitioning over to cans, which I definitely applaud.

Molson Black Ice.

I worry that you would get carried away in a crowd of fellow beer-lovers as I have been known to do. At least the Brews Cruise gets you back to your starting point. What you do after that is up to you. I should have gone to my hotel room instead of hitting one more bar.

I would never do that. :D

My wish has been granted!!! 64oz in the fridge!

Asahi Super Dry. ^

Brewhouse Pilsner. Not a bad "value" brand. Been a tough month...

I stopped at Target on the way home last night for a few staples. I passed an endcap in the food section and there was a 12 pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale with a red close out sticker priced under $12. I checked the date - it was brewed in late February 2015. I have no idea why it was marked down. It's now in the beer fridge. ^

I pulled one out and drank it last night. I failed to read the small print and was shocked when I poured this dark dark beer into my glass. Turns out it's a stout. Quite delicious, a little on the sweet side like all their beers.
