Thanks to Pennsylvania’s newest alcohol law, canned cocktails and hard seltzers are now available to buy at grocery stores and gas stations statewide, according to a staff report from FOX 29 Philadelphia.

Up until this Monday, ready-to-drink cocktails were only available to purchase in Pennsylvania liquor stores.

The bipartisan legislation was signed into law by Gov. Josh Shapiro in August.

“We worked across the aisle — bringing Democrats and Republicans together — to advance real freedom here in PA,” wrote Shapiro on social media earlier this week.

Pennsylvania businesses were then provided with the opportunity to apply for permits to sell ready-to-drink cocktails in the weeks after the new law was signed.

Gas stations and grocery stores that applied and were approved can now sell alcoholic beverages that range anywhere from 0.5 percent ABV to 12.5 percent ABV in original containers, up to 16 ounces for to-go.
