Pennsylvania Issues Citations to Area Liquor Licensees

ALLENTOWN PA – Fifteen “licensed establishments” that hold liquor or related licenses issued by Pennsylvania received citations during December 2025 from the state Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement for alleged law violations.

A report detailing the allegations was released Thursday (Jan. 1, 2026) by the bureau’s six-county regional office in Allentown PA. It documents citations issued to two firms in Montgomery County, including licensees in Pottstown and Norristown; and four firms in Berks County, including licensees in Robesonia and Oley.

Pennsylvania State Police troopers are assigned to the District 9 office for enforcement of liquor laws and their requirements. The troopers cover more than 3,470 licensees in the district, comprised of Montgomery, Berks, Lehigh, Bucks, Northampton, and Schuylkill counties.
