Voices: Best beer
Toronto Star – May 15, 2008
Here’s what you had to say. When covering New York State doing field sales I found Yuengling to be better than most domestic lagers brewed here America’s oldest brewery since 1829 is their claim. Pottsville PA is where they are and their website shows the seven types of beer including a porter and a bottled black and tan. Steam Whistle is my second choice but Yuengling on tap leaves the train in the roundhouse.

Pa. high court urged to block Sheetz beer license
Life Style Extra – May 15, 2008
(AP) – In a case that has implications for beer drinkers across Pennsylvania lawyers for beverage distributors urged the state Supreme Court to bar takeout sales of six-packs unless a retailer allows the beer to be consumed on the premises. The focus of Wednesday’s hearing was a decision by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to grant a license that allows beer to be sold at a Sheetz convenience store in Altoona but it reflected a larger debate over how beer should be sold in Pennsylvania in a changing marketplace. The Pennsylvania Malt Beverage Distributors Association which won a round against Sheetz in Commonwealth Court earlier this year is separately challenging the PLCB’s approval of licenses that will allow Wegmans’ supermarket chain to sell beer wine and other alcoholic drinks at cafes in six of its Pennsylvania stores. ‘The (liquor board) authorized venues to sell beer that the Legislature never intended’ Robert Hoffman the attorney for the distributors’ group argued at Wednesday’s hearing on the Sheetz case. Currently about 500 delicatessens and similar establishments hold beer-only licenses like the one granted to Sheetz allowing them to sell six-packs and serve beer.
