Legal opinion allows sales of beer 12-packs by distributors in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's beer distributors are getting the green light to sell brew by the 12-pack.


The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board issued an advisory legal opinion Friday that says distributors may sell 12-packs if the manufacturer designates it for sale as a 12-pack.


The ruling clears up the rules for beer distributors, which have had to sell beer mainly by the case or keg for decades.


Frank Pistella, a Pittsburgh distributor who's vice president of the Malt Beverage Distributors Association of Pennsylvania, said distributors may have to sell down their current inventory before they'll have 12-packs designated for sale by the manufacturers.


Pistella said prices of specialty beers are around $40 a case nowadays, so 12-packs will make those high-end brews more affordable for consumers.
