Every Pennsylvania beer distributor has a vested interest in being a good neighbor. By law, an individual or corporation can own only one beer distributor license, helping top ensure that each outlet is locally owned and locally managed. Beer distributors take great pride in their businesses. They train employees extensively in the correct way to check and record age and identification and how to spot a person who is trying to make a purchase who may already be intoxicated.

As locally owned and operated family businesses, distributors have a history of participating in neighborhood and community programs that educate the public on responsible consumption. They also give back to their communities by participating in activities such as Little League, United Way and other community charities and events. When you patronize a local beer distributor, there’s a good chance that the person on the other side of the counter is the owner or a neighbor.
