How liquor pricing works in Pennsylvania

Chairman's Selection is the PLCB's own buying program: the board negotiates a one-time discounted lot on a specific bottle and prices it below the national market until the lot sells through. It is the single best source of genuine deals in the state, and the discount shows up directly in the listed price.

The PLCB runs monthly specials that rotate across categories, typically a few dollars off a few hundred items at a time. A bottle on special this month can be back at full list next month, which is why the month-over-month movers below are worth a look.

Allocated bottles (limited bourbons, anniversary releases) are distributed by lottery rather than shelved. The list price still applies to the winners; the lottery only decides who gets to pay it.

Prices shown are the PLCB shelf prices. A state sales tax is added at the register: 6 percent in most of the state, 7 percent in Allegheny County, 8 percent in Philadelphia.

Are liquor prices the same everywhere in Pennsylvania?

Yes. Pennsylvania is a control state and the PLCB sets one statewide price per item. A bottle costs the same in Philadelphia as it does in Erie, with only the local sales tax rate differing at the register.

What is Chairman's Selection in Pennsylvania?

Chairman's Selection is the PLCB's discounted-lot program. The board buys a one-time lot of a specific bottle at a negotiated price and sells it below typical national retail until the lot is gone. It is where the state's best values usually come from.

Why is liquor expensive in Pennsylvania?

The shelf price includes the state's 18 percent liquor tax, and sales tax is added at checkout. Pennsylvania also does not compete on price the way private retailers do, since every store sells at the same list. The trade-off is that the published price is always the real price.
