Default Beer troubles in Pennsylvania

Going back to an earlier discussion in this thread, I found this at

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/search/s_201508.html (and scroll down to
Blair County)

Opponents of a plan to sell beer at a Sheetz gas station packed a hearing
before the state Liquor Control Board in Altoona.

A Sheetz subsidiary applied earlier this year for a license to sell beer
from its prototype superstore. Sheetz officials say pumps at the store will
be on land controlled by a separate lease agreement from the rest of the
store. Gas transactions will be handled at the pump only, because beer and
gas cannot be sold at the same location under Pennsylvania law.

The liquor board has 60 days to review testimony before issuing a ruling. At
least 200 people, mostly those opposed to the sale of beer, filled a meeting
room at a hotel in Altoona this week to protest.
