I like your handle. I’m not sure what the result of this law will be.

Short story: About 10 years we went to north western PA to a state park. We were doing some canoeing/rafting nearby. The park was empty. About 10:00 PM a snoopy LEO showed up at our campsite saying he caught a whiff of alcohol. He said there was no alcohol consumption allowed in state parks! He gave us the threat that he could kick us out or arrest us.

Question, who wants to go camping for the weekend in PA and not be allowed to drink a beer?

PS: I’ll never be back to PA again, and I tell this story frequently to discourage others.

If you want liquor, you have to go to the state store. They have the monopoly on 100% of the sales.

Ah. Very interesting. That's the way it was up in Warshington State back in the 70s and 80s. May still be that way.

Here in Cali, you have get the state's approval to sell beer, wine and liquor.

And here all this time I thunk Prohibition was over.

Yes, they do! I have been to several of them. Most close to the rafting areas, the New and Gauley Rivers. Beautiful country there....

A pitcher (more or less) of beer that you can get refilled at your local brew pub. Only it’s sealable. Like a Grolsch bottle only bigger.

In most parts of the country, a grunt is 32 ounces (2 pints) and a growler is 64 ounces (4 pints or half a gallon.)

An empty bottle, usually about a gallon. You take it to a brew pub and pay to have it filled with whatever beer they have that suits your fancy.
They usually tape the top and you take the bottle home to havew with home made Pizza.

Does it have XXX on the side of it and is drunken by a long gray-bearded guy?

"What is a growler?"

It's a really small woofer that's still too big to be a tweeter.

"WOOF!"

When I lived on PA you had to buy beer from a beer distributer. It was only sold in cases. If you wanted smaller qualities, like a 6 pack, you had to go to a bar.
