Beverage Distribution - How to open a beer distributor in PA


Expert: Eric Hofer - 1/7/2008

Question
I was wondering how one goes about opening a beer distributor in PA. What regulations do you have to abide by? Im having trouble finding info on the web.

Answer
The first place to start is the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board  (http://www.lcb.state.pa.us/)

Use the following key words in google: Regulation Distributor License Beer Alcohol.

This entry gave some opinions regarding what is and isn't possible.  http://www.lcb.state.pa.us/webapp/legal/PublicAdvOpnDisplay.asp?opinion_year=200...

I think you'll find from there, it's straight-forward.

Are you actually thinking of starting a business?  I can help more with questions along those lines.
