Comment on What the hell is happening in Pennsylvania? by compass40204

Maybe this is a bit goofy to suggest, but I’ll do it anyway.
1. The bar owners have the paperwork to show the taxes paid, and to generally prove that their inventory was legally obtained.
2. The distributors would likely also have their paperwork in order.
3. Armed with such simple things, if the bar owners and distributors coordinated a mass “anonymous tip-off” of “unregistered beers” causing the PLCB to send armed goons to various locations, only to be shown paperwork that they don’t understand, it might illustrate to them just how inept they really are.

Imagine seeing them scratch their heads trying to decipher invoices, tax payment sheets, import tariff receipts, inventories, labels, etc. Maybe then they’d reconsider raiding a place without doing their homework.

I find it bizarre and backwards that the individual Breweries are forced to supply registration for every single product under the name Brand. For example the brand is Victory Beer, their products are Storm King, Prima Pils, Hop Devil, etal.

They should be able to have one registry which can simply be updated every time they plan a new “product” release for their brand. And certainly should not pay $75 a pop. This brilliant pricing scheme must have been a loss leader until the craft beer boom anyhow.

I’m glad to hear that things went so well. CCB is a fun brewery to have close by.

the bourbon barrel-aged hunahpu’s imperial stout is ridiculous! their ipa’s especially the juniper (strangely rated poorly on RB) are special for the east coast…
