Pennsylvania has a long history of brewing beer - think German and English immigrants. That tradition continues today, and a number of popular Pennsylvania breweries are located right here in the Poconos.
A recent beer-making niche is the "Brew Pub". Essentially, a Brew Pub is a small brewery - with all operation of beer making occurring on site. Added to the brewery operation is a restaurant, bar, and, usually, offers live entertainment for its patrons.

While Pennsylvania has a fabled history with beer and beer making, it's laws regarding the purchase of beer is among the nation's most restrictive. Here's the scoop: you cannot purchase any alcoholic beverage in a supermarket; you can buy beer at a restaurant (a six pack to go), and wine and distilled beverages can only be bought at state controlled liquor stores.
Purchasing distillates on Sunday can be a problem.
These laws date back the days of prohibition and thereafter by the influence of Governor Gifford Pinchot during the 1930's.
