News from Free My Beer
New website is launched
Free My Beer is as engaged as ever in the fight to reform Pennsylvania beer sales and we’ve overhauled our website, www.freemybeer.com, to breathe new life into the cause! The website is overflowing with all the resources you’ll need to follow and join the movement to liberate PA’s Prohibition-era liquor laws.
Start by making your voice heard! You can sign the petition declaring your position on this issue and Take Action by contacting your elected officials. Supporters new to the Free My Beer movement can get caught up on current legislative efforts like HB11, a house bill proposing privatization as the key to Pennsylvania’s alcohol lock-up. Free My Beer will continue to follow the action, so consider our newsroom page your first resource for the latest information on the liberation efforts. Free My Beer supporters can also connect with other supporters via Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube thanks to easy-to-find icons on every page of the site.

Legislative Update
House Bill 11 was introduced by State Representative Mike Turzai. The bill was tabled until the Fall session with little discussion and no vote. Turzai proposed selling 1,600 retail liquor licenses that would grant the holder the right to sell liquor and wine in a “controlled area” of their stores, a privilege currently reserved for specialized distributors. On the Senate side, Bill 1554 bypasses privatization and offers to allow distributors to sell beer in six-packs and single bottles instead of the current case or keg requirement. We’ll be watching and will let you know if either bill gains traction later this year.
I am not affiliated with this website just posting information so my BEER in PA is FREE-which is not the same as Free Beer!
