Beer. "We believe we've developed a strong plan, one which includes beerdistributors, to also give them the ability to grow theirbusiness," Turzai spokesman Steve Miskin said Friday. Turzai's new plan calls for issuing 1,600 licenses, the first 1,050of which would be offered to beer distributors, who under currentlaw can sell only beer, and only by the case - or keg. Theremaining licenses would be auctioned off, on a county-by-countybasis, to the highest bidders. In other words, the plan holds out to Pennsylvania drinkers thehope of one-stop shopping, such as their New Jersey counterpartsalready enjoy: beer, wine and liquor under the same roof. The plan also would, for the first time, let beer distributors sellsix-packs - or any other configuration, such as an 18-pack - withno limit on the number of packages sold in a single transaction.Now, as Pennsylvania beer drinkers know, one can only buy six-packsat bars, delis, or taverns (usually at a steep markup), and no morethan two at a time. It was not immediately clear from Turzai's office how much money hebelieves the state could reap from this plan. A report commissionedlast year by Corbett, a staunch privatization supporter, saidauctioning off the Liquor Control Board's 600-plus retail stores,as well as its wholesale liquor operations, could raise as much as$1.6 billion. Privatization foes - chief among them the union representing liquorstore clerks - on Friday were quick to pick apart Turzai's latestproposal, grousing that it lacked detail and asserting that noprivatization model can bring state coffers the kind of money thecurrent system does. Also in the "against" column: some in the state's beer industry.Showdown vote promised on pa. liquor system - with beer in the mix - Digital Tabletop Scale ManufacturerShowdown vote promised on pa. liquor system - with beer in the mix - Digital Tabletop Scale ManufacturerShowdown vote promised on pa. liquor system - with beer in the mix - Digital Tabletop Scale Manufacturer I am an expert from electronicbalancescale.com, while we provides the quality product, such as Digital Tabletop Scale Manufacturer , China Electronic Weighing Balance, Digital Tabletop Scale,and more.
