Lawyers for beverage distributors urged the state Supreme Court to bar takeout sales of six-packs unless a retailer allows the beer to be consumed on the premises. The focus of the hearing was the decision by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to grant a license that allows beer to be sold at the Sheetz store on 17th St. in Altoona. Sheetz currently sells only takeout beer in that store. Lawyers for the beverage distributors argue the store should also have to serve beer to restaurant patrons for consumption on then premises. Sheetz lawyers say the corporation is willing to serve beer in the Altoona store.
