<p>uhhhhhhhh ... we went to PA and ran for about 4 hours yesterday and just wanted to stop and buy a 6-pack to take to the hotel and have a couple brewskis before going to sleep to get up and run another 5-6 hours today ... geeeeesh, is that too much to ask?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>apparently it was ... PA (at least the part we were in) does not sell beer at gas stations, grocery stores or even the same store that sells hard alcohol and wine? (WTF???) we had to go to a specific beer distributor ... which was a drive thru in this town(maybe in all PA towns?) and could only purchase beer by the case, no singles, 6-packs or 12 packs! </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>soooooo... we ask for Sam Adams Octoberfest and are fearful of the price ... alas ... they don't have it cold and our hotel has no fridge ... so we ask what they have cold ... it is Dundee Oktoberfest, which we are unfamiliar with but say we'll get anyways ... the guy hands us a bottle and says to taste it before we decide to buy the entire case ... uhhhhhhhhhhh, we're in a truck, driving, bwahahahahaaaa ... I taste it and say it's okay as I am VERY weirded out by this entire alcohol purchasing system we are being subjected to ... hubby takes a small swallow too and hands it back to the guy and tells him we'll go ahead and buy it ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>they put it in the back of the truck for us, upon our request ... take our money ... and then recap the one we tasted and hand it to us ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OPEN CONTAINER??? Geeeeeeeeeeeeeee, thanks .... are you calling Roscoe P. Coletrain and telling us we're on our way? *yikes*</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>this was THE WEIRDEST purchase of any beverage I've ever experienced ...</p>
