Welcome to Pennsylvania!!! We do things a little different here......

You can buy all the beer you desire, in any quantity, even kegs, but you must purchase it at a state authorized "Beer Distributor". That's pretty much all they sell, but some do carry soda, chips & smokes.

 It sounds like you stopped in at a C store or grocery store, where the state restricts how much you can buy. Being able to buy beer in these outlets is a very recent development, it used to be you had to go to the distributor, or buy a 6 pack at a bar.

If you want to buy a bottle of liquor in Pennsylvania, you must go to a state run "State Store". Can't buy it anywhere else. Pennsylvania citizens have been trying to get rid of the State Store system for years, but all the employees are union, so they & their union brothers & sisters put up a strong fight every time it comes up for a vote. And those that want to imbibe pay a premium price for the privilege.

OK, that's your Pennsylvania history lesson for today.

See Tony, thats why you have to come to Finland next year


Since the 100 Pack wasnt big enough, the finish invented the 1000 Pack.
And yes its ~2,20$ for a 0,5 Liter can.   Finland is damn expensive.
