Is it legal to sell non-alcoholic beer to a minor in Pennsylvania?

No, it is a violation of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.
Yes, if the beer contains less than 0.5% alcohol.
Yes, minors are allowed to purchase it.
It depends on the establishment's policy.

The correct answer is: No, it is a violation of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.

In Pennsylvania, it is indeed illegal to sell non-alcoholic beer to a minor, as established by the Pennsylvania Crimes Code. This law is in place to protect youth from any potential exposure to alcohol-related products, even those containing minimal or negligible amounts of alcohol. Non-alcoholic beer, while often perceived as a safe alternative to alcoholic beverages, still holds legal restrictions surrounding its sale to minors. The option that states beer can be sold if it contains less than 0.5% alcohol overlooks the legal framework that governs sales to minors, which applies regardless of the alcohol content. Furthermore, the notion that minors are allowed to purchase non-alcoholic beer directly contradicts the goal of preventing potential normalization of alcohol consumption among young people. Lastly, while an establishment's policy may influence its operations, it cannot supersede state law which firmly prohibits selling non-alcoholic beer to minors.
