Under a new law that went into effect a year or two ago, a grocery store can get a license to sell beer and wine. Such stores are also rare outside of larger communities. Takeout beer is usually much easier to get, but beer is heavy, and I am not a big beer drinker. Makes me bloated.
Yeah, PA liquor/beer laws threw me when I rode the GAP a couple of years back. I kept stopping at grocery and convenient stores for beer, and they didn't have any. Just as well, I suppose. I had a couple stashed in my cooler that I had picked up in Ohio, and I drank the last one in Rockwood and was in Maryland the next day.
