A recent decision by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board will now allow alcohol-serving establishments – restaurants, grocery stores, pizza shops, etc. – to also deliver beer for the first time in Pennsylvania.
The change comes from a Dec. 5 advisory opinion by the PLCB over the use of Pennsylvania's transporter-for-hire licenses, a legal instrument that authorizes the transporting of alcohol that is not allowed with regular liquor licenses.
Mark Flaherty, a principal of downtown-based Flaherty & O'Hara PC, a law firm which specializes in liquor law, expects the change to offer a major opportunity for a wide range of food businesses and sees it as a significant change from past practice.
