Alcohol laws in this nation are ridiculous and onerous.
You definitely seem to have it particularly bad, but they are ridiculous in almost every state to varying degrees.
The cops confiscated hundreds of bottles of expensive ales and lagers, now in State Police custody at an undisclosed location.
not true, someone was just saying how in WI, kids can drink at the bar underage as long as theyre with a parent.
What is the legal drinking age in Wisconsin?
Twenty-one years of age. This is also the age at which a person can be on licensed premises. There are some exceptions, which we will discuss below.
Fair enough, I'll agree to that. As long as you aren't a Yankees fan...
Oh no! That's a horrible crime! Thank God we live in a such a save society that our police can waste their resources on a "$75 registration fee".The alleged offense: Although the bar owners had bought the beer legally from licensed Pennsylvania distributors and had paid all the necessary taxes, the police claimed that nobody had registered the precise names of the beers with the state Liquor Control Board - a process that requires the brewers or their importers to pay a $75 registration fee for each product they want to sell in Pennsylvania
I'm going to clarify your statement just slightly.
Alcohol laws in the state or "Commonwealth" of Pennsylvania are just plain insane.
I bet if you look into it the bar owners didn't vote for Fast Eddie in the last election...
1. Name a beer Pliny the ____________(fill in the blank)
2. Say it's only made once a year and charge $25 a glass
3. Profit!
Tomorrow: a public stoning of a woman who ate a slice of bacon without wearing a burka.

Maybe this "someone" was referring to kids being able to BE in a bar with parents.
Intersting yet sad article. A better approach would have been some undercover investigation, gather compelling evidence, do some research and then proceed with some sort of action..A 'raid' is a little over the top IMHO.
Classic example of law enforcement shooting first and asking questions later.
How about we recognize that in the age of craft breweries, brew pubs and expanded global trading, these laws are archaic? Just one bureaucracy washing the back of another. Can't wait until these ass clowns control our health care.
... they are initially out $7200 in stock, but i dont think you can spend $7200 in advertising and get as much out of it as this will.
We'll see. That's a lot of money to a tavern owner.

its definitely not a response an anonymous "citizen complaint" will EVER get. The citizen either has friends or a competitor happened to a PLCB member, etc. What kind of citizen actually knows which beers are and aren't on the PA registered list, or would even check? and why? And the things that also annoys me is that they say roughly half of what was taken, if not more, was things that WERE on the list, things like... Duvel, and Monk's Cafe Flemish which is sold everywhere in the city, most of all at... Monk's Cafe.
Oh jeez. This is McCarthyism alive and well.

"More than a dozen armed State Police officers" had recovered a $75 registration fee. Excuse me, but since when is Philadelphia governed by a Christian Al-Qaeda? Tomorrow: a public stoning of a woman who ate a slice of bacon without wearing a burka.
