The state Liquor Control Board posted a new list of legally registered brands yesterday, including several of the popular beers that were seized last week from three high-end city taprooms.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

This is no different then when the State Police raided VFW and American Legion posts in the early 90's. They had these hearings then, and all that changed was they allowed the posts to serve under a special exemption.

Does Pennsylvania have any laws about home brewing? Seems like they should, with all these other sucky laws that suck.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're qualified to hang out at the VFW, you should be able to do whatever the fark you want.

Orgasmatron138: As far as I'm concerned, if you're qualified to hang out at the VFW, you should be able to do whatever the fark you want.

Which is why they got the exemption. Also it doesn't help when 60 year old war heroes are being lead out of their post in handcuffs. If your ever in Dillsburg, PA and are a vet I'd recommend going to the VFW there. They have a great timeline wall by the bathrooms.

EighthundredmillionthFarker: Does Pennsylvania have any laws about home brewing? Seems like they should, with all these other sucky laws that suck.

It's perfectly legal to homebrew as long as it's not for sale, though lately it seems like it can be illegal to sell even if it's from a legit commercial craft brewery. You also can't brew over 200 gallons in a year. How they would know how much you've brewed, I have no idea, but I beleive if there is more than one person living in the household, it goes up to 400 gallons.

I hope these farking LCB farking farks choke to death on their own farking vomit. I hope a rampaging hippo rapes their corpse. I hope a rampaging yinzer rapes the hippo while it's raping their corpse and then the entire thing explodes into an orgy of beer, glorious beer.

It's embarrassing to live in PA, where they somehow believe that forcing people to buy beer by the case somehow prevents "problem" drinking. If people were only buying sixers, we'd all turn into alcoholics, but buying cases is just fine.

I visited PA once, accidentally. I was flabbergasted to find that I was not able to buy beer on Sunday. And I thought VA was bad...

PA is indeed bad, but you can buy beer on Sunday if the distributor is open.

No, and someone3 correct me if I'm wrong, but even under prohibition, you were allowed to home brew. You just couldn't distribute or sell (or manufacture in commercial quantities, obviously).

I'll correct you, then. Under Prohibition laws you could produce up to 200 gallons of wine for personal use. You couldn't legally home-brew beer in the US until 1978 when President Carter signed a law permitting it.
 
2010-03-12 11:22:10 AM
And the wine exemption was mostly because of pressure by Jews and Catholics who needed it for religious rituals.

Asteroth: PA is indeed bad, but you can buy beer on Sunday if the distributor is open.

Sunday beer sales from distributors were only allowed in the last four years or so.

Well that explains all the win presses I've seen in the basements of homes in South Philly.

No, what explains that is that South Philly was the area center of Italian immigration, and Italy isn't exactly known for its beer.

One local beer blogger, Lew Bryson of Bucks County, launched a Facebook page on Tuesday called "Abolish the PLCB-Rewrite the Code." Within 48 hours, it had attracted more than 2,500 followers.

Oh no, look out! A facebook group is gonna getcha, PA!

FTA: The liquor-enforcement arm of the State Police has quietly returned some of the confiscated brew to bar owners.

Sounds like the Staties had a nice little party before they got told that they had to give the beer back. I wonder what percentage "some" is?

Someone should explain to them I switched to whiskey because it's so goddamn hard to get beer. I think we should sue them for causing alcoholism.

Hahahaha. Yeah. I think it's a local hobby.

They raided VFWs and took their beer?!?! Tar and feathers is the only reasonable response to such an outrage.

The only time I ever combine the activities of drinking beer and running is when the drinking of the beer causes me to have a guy with a badge, handcuffs and keys to the jail chasing me.

Picture it, Philadelphia, 2003...

I was 18 years old, in April of my freshman year at Drdxel University. I'm at a party near Towers Hall, on 34th St. A whole bunch of us are in the basement, gettin' our drink on. A friend of mine drops a Listerine strip in my beer, ruining it and stinking up the cup. I go upstairs, to the front door for another cup, and all of a sudden, state cops and LCB officers storm into the place. The one officer asks me some question about the house, and I explain to him that I don't know the answer because I don't live there. He lets me go without trouble. My friends, however, are not so lucky. Suspended licenses and alcohol classes for them. To this day, they stil bring it up.

Good times.

/wanna go back...

Been following this story. I thought it was just Utah with asinine liquor laws. Seems I could head East if I wanted to sample some new kinds of governmental farkery, instead of, you know, some kicka*s new brew.
