The Pennsylvania liquor stores are applying a 2 bottle limit on alcohol due to delivery bottlenecks

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania – The Pennsylvania state liquor system will begin rationing sales of a few dozen products on Friday in response to supply shortages beyond its control.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board informed licensees Thursday that the restrictions on purchases of two bottles a day for customers in state stores, bars, restaurants and other licensees will remain in place indefinitely.

The PLCB said that “persistent supply chain disruptions and product shortages” had prompted restrictions on certain types of alcohol.

The 43 items on the restricted product list will also no longer be available through store-to-store transfers as of Friday.

The list of rationed spirits – a small fraction of the vast array of products the state liquor system sells – includes certain types of champagne, bourbon, tequila, cognac, and whiskey. The rationing will remain in place “for the foreseeable future” and until the supply chain becomes more reliable, the PLCB said.

The Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association said this would make it more difficult for members to conduct their businesses.

“Supply and labor problems are not helping recovery” from the pandemic, the trade association said in a statement. “We hope the legislature will take all of this into account when they return to Harrisburg. The industry still needs help moving forward.”

PLCB spokesman Shawn Kelly said bars, restaurants and other customers were informed of the purchase restrictions on Thursday.

“When you look at stories that have come out across the country due to COVID-19, supply chains have been broken, production has been halted,” Kelly said. “In some cases there have been shortages of cans and bottles.”

Delivery bottlenecks in North Carolina have seen restaurants and bars scramble to find popular brands, with delivery bottlenecks exacerbated by increasing customer demand during the pandemic era.
