DescriptionScore one for Joe Six-pack.

A Pennsylvania Senate committee gave a 9-2 endorsement yesterday to a bill that would permit beer distributors to sell ales, malts and lagers by the six-pack for the first time in generations. The bill moves to the full Senate, where it might not see a vote until fall.

Supporters hailed yesterday's vote as a great first step.

Pennsylvanians have been limited to buying beer by the case or paying a premium price for take-out at restaurants and taverns, where six-pack sales are allowed.
