LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD

About Us

The PLCB regulates the distribution of beverage alcohol in Pennsylvania, operates 560 Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores statewide and licenses 20,000 alcohol producers, retailers and handlers. The PLCB also works to reduce and prevent dangerous and underage drinking through work with schools, community groups and licensees. 

More than a Retailer - A Reinvestment Engine for Pennsylvania

For almost a century, the PLCB has evolved from a system built to restrain into one designed to connect, now standing at the intersection of commerce, community and public good. Through every retail store, wholesale relationship, license granted and educational initiative, we ensure the benefits of the beverage alcohol industry flow back to the people and places that make our commonwealth strong.

Keeping communities safe

Helping communities stay safe, informed and responsible.

Across Pennsylvania, we support programs that prevent underage drinking, promote responsible alcohol use, and equip communities with the tools they need to stay safe. Through education initiatives, partnerships with schools and law enforcement and training programs for those who serve alcohol, these efforts reach thousands of Pennsylvanians each year. 

We also provide funding to public safety efforts related to enforcement of Pennsylvania’s liquor laws, as well as alcohol abuse prevention and treatment programs.

From prevention campaigns and community resources to responsible service training and grant-funded programs, we’re committed to making a positive impact, helping ensure that the moments we celebrate are also safe and responsible. 
 

Supporting Pennsylvania's wine, beer and spirits industries

Great products, made here, making a difference here.

Across Pennsylvania, local wineries, breweries and distilleries are creating high-quality products rooted in craftmanship, creativity and community. These are more than just bottles on a shelf. They represent local jobs, small businesses and growing industries across the commonwealth.

Through grant funding in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, we support the continued growth of these industries, helping local producers expand, innovate and reach more customers across the commonwealth.
