HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Members of the Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association (PFMA) and the Pennsylvania Convenience Store Council (PCSC) today joined state Sen. John Rafferty (R-Montgomery) as he unveiled legislation that would make sweeping and historic changes to the state's beer laws.

In addition to announcing its support of the beer bill, PFMA/PCSC revealed its new website, www.sixpacktogo.org which provides a forum for Pennsylvania's adult beer drinkers who want to join the state's "Beer Revolution." ........

Rafferty's bill provides more consumer convenience and increases protection against selling to minors. Among other provisions, the bill:

-Helps prevent sales to minors by requiring 100 percent carding for all beer sales or the use of an Electronic Age Verification (EAV) device by beer retailers;

-Allows supermarkets and large convenience stores to purchase an existing license and convert it to a Food Merchant License (F); and,

-Maintains the number of existing licenses.


This could be the answer. Or it could be nothing. By maintaining the number of existing licenses it ensures a gradual process.

A Beer Party would never accomplish anything. The political platform would be to get drunk, wear a wife beater and yell at your kids to bring you more beer.
