will a beer store ship beer to my home state in Philly?

Question

I'm going there and want to send home some Yuengling.

Answer 1

Nope.
In PA beer is sold at a beer distributor that deals in case quantities only.
Many smaller pizza shops, very few convenience stores and almost all bars sell singles and 6-packs, which are almost always sold cold.
Liquor stores sell liquor and wine only.
Grocery stores don't sell alcohol of any kind.
Welcome to PA, land of totally baffling alcohol laws.

Here are your options:
1. From Philly, take Route 95S to Delaware...it's only a short drive.
Right over the Delaware border...and I mean RIGHT over the border, bear right toward I-495 and there will be signs for Naamans Road. Take that exit.
As soon as you take the exit, there will be a shopping plaza on your right...Northtowne Plaza, I think...anyway, there will be a shop there called Total Wine and More. They sell warm singles of tons of beer at better prices than you will find in PA. You can call them to see if they will ship to you, or you just buy what you want and pack it the best you can and ship it UPS yourself.

2. Buy case quantity at any PA distributor, then pack it and ship it via UPS or FedEX.

3. The Yeungling Brewery is about an hour or so NW of Philly.
I'm almost positive that they don't sell beer at the brewery, (and I know they won't ship it) but there are distributors all around there, and again...you can ship it yourself. They do a brewery tour that's decent...2 tours daily, 3 on Saturday.

4. Join up on one of the online beer websites like beeradvocate.com (for free).
There you can put in for wants/gots and do beer trades with other people...so if you live in Louisiana and someone wants Abita, you ship it to them in exchange for Yuengling stuff. Then you can get it anytime and try different stuff without having to go through a ton of trouble.
You can also get listings for many of the better beer bars in Philly (like Monks) and someof the cooler breweries, too (like Nodding Head, Iron Hill, Yards, etc)

Good luck, have an nice trip, and CHEERS!

Answer 2

Alissa and mardaw are part right, but you go to a PA "beer mart" not a liquor store (or to a tavern if you only want to buy a 6-pak or two).

Candy-colored is correct and that your Q is confusing.

Yuengling is sold in many other states. If you mean to say you are not from PA but would like to have the beer at your home check with the Yuengling brewery and ask if they have a distributor in your state near you. Otherwise, legally you are out of luck.

Answer 3

You need to go to the state store in PA in order to get your beer. I doubt they will ship it any where. Besides...you can get Yuengling right there in PA since it is made right there.

Answer 4

O hell you just got my mouth watering.
I grew up in PA and miss yuengling can't get it hear in AZ.
go to a beer distributor thy can might order it for you.

Answer 5

Not likely. PA has the most medieval laws about beer. Is PA your home state or are you looking to send beer from PA elsewhere? It's unclear from the question. We probably have a law against doing either one here.

Answer 6

Yuengling is made in PA. Just go to any liquor store and pick it up

Answer 7

Yuengling Rocks! and I live in Iowa, talk to your local distributor, they'll hook u up.

Answer 8

i think it is against the law for a beer store to ship over state lines to a customer!

Answer 9

maybe it depends on the state its shiping from and your local laws

Answer 10

phones are made for this kind of thing
