Some career news for me.... I have started my own practice - ALC Law LLC (@paliquorlaw) - focusing on advising alcohol businesses in licensing, regulatory compliance, business and real estate. If you or anyone you know in PA needs cost-effective representation, please reach out!
ALC Law LLC was formed to provide cost-effective legal and consulting services to members of the Pennsylvania alcohol industry. @MattBAndersen, founding attorney at ALC Law LLC, has represented hundreds of alcohol businesses in Pennsylvania and beyond.

ALC Law is happy to announce that, for the fourth year in a row, @MattBAndersen has been selected as a Rising Star in Pennsylvania by @superlawyers in the Food and Beverage category. Thank you to ALC Law clients for their continued support!
Since COVID, licenses in Northampton Cty went from $150k-$350k. Grocery/conv. chains have bought all available licenses, and the PLCB has held one license auction since the state shutdown its offices in 2020. There is no reason for stopping the auctions when they make PA millions
PA & NJ managed to turn liquor licenses into an investment vehicle by refusing to print new licenses
They cost $200k-$500k now because of increasing demand
Long story short: Basically only rich people and investors can afford to open bars in Philly now phillymag.com/foobooz/2023/0…
When a gorgeous property perfect for a dog-friendly beertopia came up for sale in 2021, Matt Andersen couldn’t resist: Welcome to @RetrieverBrewCo. Sit, stay, enjoy. bit.ly/3x4suOI
LETS GOOOOOOO AGAIN! Even better on video. @NorthwesternLax is just getting started and is already making waves in the LV lacrosse community.
History for @NorthwesternLax. Drew Sabo scores the game-winner in OT to give Northwestern Lehigh boys lacrosse an 8-7 win over Moravian Academy in the Tigers' first District 11 playoff game @nwlehighsd.
LETS GOOOO! So proud of this team and these seniors for making history in their final year.
TIGERS WIN!!!
TIGERS 8 Moravian Academy 7
In our first ever appearance in District Playoffs the Tigers score with 16 seconds left in OT to head to the District Championship game!!!

I am happy to have been selected as a @SuperLawyers Rising Star for Pennsylvania for 3rd year. They also did a feature on @paliquorlaw and @RetrieverBrewCo that you can read below!
That’s a bold statement. No coach is compensated enough to do it without caring for the kids. Politics aside, let’s not make this theatrical.
The PLCB has not had a liquor license auction since June 2020, which should have had no impact from COVID. The license stock in the state was already depleted from big grocery and convenience stores gobbling them up, and it’s even worse now. @SenLisaBoscola @SenatorBrowne

Why did the PLCB just rescind it if that’s the case?
Today, @GovernorTomWolf issued a statement urging the Senate to pass HB 1154 cleanly and quickly, so that cocktails-to-go can remain in place. on.pa.gov/3zoCxP7
Wow... the PLCB just ending approved emergency extensions and making licensees go through the formal extension process, which (you guessed it!) can take months. Why not just let them continue and “actually investigate” what you previously approved?
I am very proud to receive this honor for the second year! My new venture @paliquorlaw had a great start so far, and it is continuing to grow thanks to my wonderful clients and referral sources. Never be scared to bet on yourself, and always be sure to prove your doubters wrong.
Matt Andersen was selected for inclusion for the second straight year as a @superlawyers Pennsylvania Rising Star, which is reserved for less than 5% of attorneys that are less than 40 years old or in practice for 10 years or less.

Some coverage of the first intermunicipal transfer approval for a restaurant liquor license flying under the ALC Law flag! Happy to help @HoffordMill secure approval from the Borough of Weissport to use a license at their location! tnonline.com/20210518/weissp…
First one of many. Let’s go!!
We are hitting the ground running here at ALC Law! First PLCB orange placard posted for a client. Reach out for help on any liquor licensing needs! #ALCLaw #LiquorLaw #liquorlawyer
