Last time I tried that, they limited me to two 6 packs of beer. Mother-fucker, I’m not drinking this all tonight, but I like this brewery and won’t be back for a year or more.

Do they still do that?

For PA, you can get beer and wine in a lot of places, including gas stations, supermarkets, and beer stores.

Has this changed recently?

Because my understanding was that no, you absolutely cannot get it at gas stations.

You can sometimes find them in grocery stores, but that's a loophole and only works if the store sells hot food (usually buffet style) so they can classify the separate POS as a restaurant with a liquor license.

And if you want more than a 12 pack of beer, you have to go to a "Beer Distributor". A separate store that only sells cases of beer.

Aside from the grocery stores who have gone through the legal loopholes (it's far from all of them), you can only get wine from the state stores that only sell wine and liquor (no beer).

It's stupid. Remnants from prohibition.

When I first moved here nearly 20 years ago, this was not the case. You could only buy beer at special stores where you could only buy it by the case, or you could buy individual six-packs to take home at bars and taverns. Wine was only available from the state-run stores along with the hard liquor (and this is still the case for the hard stuff). Coming from a state that had fucking drive-thru daiquiri shops, this was hard to accept.
