Pennsylvania is known for its long tradition in the alcohol industry featuring businesses that have been in operation for over a hundred years. These businesses survived prohibition, the great depression, economic recessions and an ever-changing business landscape. Distilleries in particular are facing a downturn as consumer demand for products have greatly changed from traditional trends. We need to ensure that we can provide options for these long-standing businesses that have provided jobs and economic stability to communities to continue to operate.
 
In the near future we plan on introducing legislation to provide support for historical distilleries that have been in operation for over one hundred years. These distilleries would be able market and  expand business opportunities to help them grow and better provide their products to consumers and businesses.
 
Please join us in sponsoring this legislation and help ensure a business that has been operating in our state providing jobs and revenue remains an economic driver in the communities it serves.
